Dragon Tattoo Designs

The Chinese dragon tattoo has always been a symbol of power in the East. While Western cultures have often viewed the dragon as something to be feared and hated, the Eastern cultures often have a differing viewpoint. With saliva that was like perfume and a voice like the musical ringing of a copper basin, the Asian dragon was the bearer of profound blessings and was as such heavily identified with by the Chinese. In fact, Chinese people all over the world are affectionately known as "lung de chuan ren", or the "descendants of the dragon".

There are several distinct species of Chinese dragons. The Horned Dragon is considered to be the mightiest and here is a representation of the Chinese dragon tattoo. The dragon tattoo is a representation of might, power and divine grace. But, the mystique of the dragon tattoo is not only bound to Chinese tradition. Both Japanese and Chinese lore are filled with stories of creatures, who, through their special quests, at the end of their journeys, were transformed into dragons.

In Japan, these were often the stories of Carp who through their perseverance, journeys and struggles, in the end were transformed into dragons. It's no wonder that the dragon tattoo is such a popular design.

2." I think it is not only a style like anything else, but it shows his personality. They are magical in any way. On land, in the water or even in the air. To me they are gentle creature like anything else, but when they get mad. their is no stopping it. And that is how a man wants to feel. They want to be that strong with no stopping in strength".

3. "A dragon tattoo on a man would represent a warriors strength and skills. Someone to be wary of because he knows a hundred ways to kill. He is his own man, does not follow and fears no-one. He is a loner but not lonely, he works best far away from human distractions. He is someone to reckon with, someone to watch out for and someone to learn from. He can survive and control any situation. Keep an eye on the male dragon." Wes Horn

1." A dragon tattoo on a woman would represent a fiery hot disposition. Being independent and intelligent she needs no man. She is the female version of the male dragon but she is far more ruthless, cunning, sly, and devious. If a man tries to handle her, well pity him, she will crucify him. She is well-educated and articulate. Beware the female dragon!" Wes Horn

2. "A dragon tattoo on a women to me represents her strength, loyalty, and protectiveness. Especially if she has a family she feels strongly about. Female dragons are know to be very protective of their nests. So on a woman these would be her symbol of her inner strength, to warn all do not mess with what is important to her". Jessica.

3. " I think a dragon tattoo on a woman represents, when provoked she will become fierce (by showing how angry and pissed off she can get); in other words, be afraid, be very afraid. Depending how the woman gets provoked, she will get physcial (in a destructive way). I also believe a dragon tattoo represents how a woman can be direct in a way to where she speaks her mind and always tell it like it is (even though it may hurt someone's feelings). One last thing, I also believe the dragon tattoo represents that a woman is not afraid to be herself, no matter what other people think about her. And she doesn't let all the comments and everything else that may have been said about her, get her down. It takes a strong woman to be comfortable with herself, and not care what other people think.
That's what I think what a dragon tattoo represents on a woman". Genoveva Duran.
