Mankind has always had a fascination with dragons. These mythological creations have fired up the imagination for generations. Even in ancient caves, archeologists have discovered drawings of dragons. This attraction for the dragon has carried on till the present day making dragon tattoo designs, by far the most requested tattoo design. So if you are planning to get a dragon tattoo, you will have to do more research into getting a design which is not mediocre or common. But dragon tattoos can be easily customized by using different colors, shapes and numbers, so if you go to a good tattoo artist, he can take a regular dragon tattoo and create something unique.
Dragon tattoos have different meanings throughout the world and the way they are drawn is also different in different parts of the world. So before you pick a dragon tattoo design be sure to find out what it represents and if that representation is in line with what you would like it to epitomize in your life. Dragons are most commonly used to exemplify a powerful and commanding beast which has supremacy over all other creatures. But in countries such as China and Japan, dragons represent something benign and friendly but still powerful none the less. The Japanese have used dragons to represent their emperors for several generations. In Chinese culture dragons are considered to bring in good luck and fortune, so they are depicted as happy and cheerful. On the other hand, in the west dragons have always been associated with negative energy; they are portrayed as something fuming and atrocious. Here they are sketched as huge, winged, fire breathing creatures. But most often people getting a dragon tattoo want to depict the powerful, majestic nature of the dragon rather than the evil, blood sucking, beast eating one.
Also while considering the best dragon tattoo art you would also need to think about what part of your body, you are planning to get it inked on and the size of the tattoo. Dragon tattoos look really sexy and hot if done on the entire back. Getting a huge dragon tattooed on your entire back may also increase your self image. Normally dragons look good if they are medium to large sized, if you want to get a small tattoo, then you might not want to consider this design rather you can consider small delicate designs such as butterfly, floral, fairy, fish, etc. Other really nice locations for the dragon tattoo can be the upper arm with the head of the dragon on the chest or the shoulder blade, especially if you have big arms you can beautify them with having large dragon tattoos inked on them.
Keep in mind because of the immense popularity of the dragon tattoo, on the internet you will find a lot of cookie cutter tattoo designs. It is best not to use one of these designs but to get a custom design from a membership based tattoo gallery. Also it is important to use the services of an excellent tattoo artist for the dragon tattoo as it is a very difficult tattoo to ink. A good tattoo artist will be able to get the best out of the design by paying attention to details and colors.
