Dragon Tattoos

Summer or spring season are the best time of the year to flaunt your body art and one unique and different motif that you don't see very often is the dragon tattoo. Dragon tattoos are not merely a work of art but carry a lot of meaning and have enough room for creativity and self expression. Different people have different perceptions of a tattoo and a unique definition and perception for their kind of design. With the amount of experimentation done with Dragon tattoos in terms of their appearance and designs in the past couple of years, the popularity of these motifs has increased.

The mythical attributes attached to the Dragons make them further desirable. A reptilian creature, close to the lizard family, dragons are mentioned in varied folk tales around the globe. However, in the form of a body art, these tattoos are widely experimented with.  For instance, the fire breathing mouth of the reptile is prominently displayed in some dragon tattoo motifs. Large wings on the other hand accentuate the tattoo design of a flying dragon. The appearance of dragons is an imaginative aspect and individual creativity can further add a different dimension to it altogether.
