PICTURE OF DRAGON TATTOO DESIGNS

Tattoo Dragons
While women tend to like baby (smaller) tattoo dragons on their shoulder or foot, men prefer larger, fiercer dragons to be tattooed on their arms, shoulder, backs or legs. They are one of the few popular tattoo subjects which can extend up an arm or down a leg without looking distorted or contrived. The dragon design can also be used for armbands. At the end of this article you will find all the recommended web sites for the latest tattoo dragon designs.
The popularity of dragon tattoo is partly due to the number of fresh and exciting designs now available, but also due to the sharp, projecting elements of the dragon’s fangs, wings and claws which modern tattoo artists can now produce successfully, to give clean and striking definition to the tattoo image. When Kwai Chang Caine picked up the red hot dragon bowl in 'Kung Fu' using his forearms, thus imprinting himself with the dragon and tiger brand of the Shaolin Temple, he could not have received a dragon symbol half as sharp and striking as anyone can receive nowadays in a modern tattoo parlor, and without the pain.
So why would anyone want to have a tattoo dragon? Isn’t the dragon a mythical creature, created by the writers of legends and drawn from the minds of unreliable artists over the ages? Surely modern men and women are far beyond belief in such animals, unlike the medieval cartographers who lettered 'Here beDragons' on the vague outlines of the unknown lands on the edges of their maps and charts, as a warning to the unwary.
It’s not enough just to assume that modern tattoo subjects think that a dragon has a ‘cool shape’. So do giraffes, humming birds and stick insects, but you don’t see many of those when the shirts come off at summer parties. Dragons have a place in both eastern and western history and culture which gives a clue to their popularity.
Dragons also have hoards of money and jewels, again an attractive characteristic which any modern urbanite would love to imitate. People born in the Chinese Year of the Dragon (every twelve years, the next being in 2012) are considered to be brave, energetic and trustworthy. In western culture, from 'The Hobbit' by J. R. R. Tolkein to 'Earthsea' by Ursula K. Le Guin to the 'Shrek' movies,dragons are powerful, greedy and fascinating. They are tremendous as friends and fearful as enemies.
It is well known that from prehistoric times right through to relatively modern tribal societies that people would adopt a creature as theirs, the symbol of their clan, and so hope to acquire some of its power. The tattoo dragons that modern people love to have on their bodies are simply a manifestation of the urge to be bigger, better and stronger than the rest.

Kanji Tattoo designs
What's So Special About Kanji Tattoo Designs?
Kanji tattoo designs are characters from a cryptic Japanese alphabet. This style of tattoo has become very popular within all of North America. You have likely seen these tattoos before, and maybe you would like to get one yourself. But, what is so special about Kanji tattoo designs?
Getting a tattoo of a Kanji symbol is very common. You can make use of these ancient characters to create a tattoo that represents love, strength, or anything else that is important to you in your life. Many people get this type of tattoo because they are really trendy at the moment, but they are also a really great way to get a subtle tattoo that does not take up a lot of space.
If you are thinking of getting a Kanji tattoo, you should definitely take your time to do the research for what you plan to get before you go and get it. There is quite a bit of confusion in many of the symbols, and you will not want to make the mistake of getting a symbol that means one thing when you think it means something else. This is something that has happened to a lot of people, and it is not a pleasant experience.
There are many online tattoo design directories that can show you endless ideas that you can use for your tattoo. These sites will generally have a category that is specifically for Kanji designs. You can use these as a resource to find something that means what you want it to mean.
Kanji tattoo designs are a great idea for anybody who wants to get a simple tattoo that is subtle and means something very personal to them. These tattoos will be forever, so make sure that you do the research to find one that truly means something for you.

Feminine Tattoo designs
The Hottest Designs and Placement Locations For Today
The hottest tattoo designs and locations for placement always seem to be changing just like hair styles and hemlines. We're going to share with you the hottest feminine tattoos designs and placement locations for today. In the last ten years the whole tattoo world has been turned upside down. Tattoos are no longer just sought after by heavy metal rockers and bikers. Everyone today seems to be getting tattoos.
Tattoos have become especially popular with women. The right tattoo in the right location, women are finding, can really help to accentuate their femininity. Keep in mind as you are considering different tattoos, each design type will carry a special meaning. Also, where you have the tattoo placed on the body will make a unique statement about you and the message you are trying to convey.
By far, the most popular feminine tattoos today are those placed in the lower back region. No longer considered a tramp stamp, the lower back tattoo is becoming very popular with a variety of design ideas. The lower back tattoo is a great way to accentuate and enhance the natural curves of the female body. Women are adorning this area with tattoo designs like that of hearts, stars, angels, fairies and flowers.
Another very popular area for having a feminine tattoo today is on the feet. Granted this is a more sensitive area and is recommended only if you have a high threshold for pain. But feet tattoos are becoming quite popular with playful designs like shooting stars or a trail of hearts.
Women looking for a little more suggestive feminine tattoo placement are going for small tattoos just below the bikini line on either their front side or back. Tattoo designs featuring cupid or hearts or favorite flowers are popular in these areas today. There are many different meanings for flower tattoos so you will want to research these before deciding. Some flowers like the daisy represent innocence. Lilies are for pure of heart. The lotus represents strength having emerged from a previous struggle. The cherry blossoms represent women's beauty and sexuality.
Tattoos placed on the inside of the wrist area have become popular for women. This as an area that can be easily concealed by clothing or a watch if need be. If left uncovered, then the whole world can see it when the wrist is turned up. Many women today are using this area to have tattoos done with a special saying or words that have a personal significance.

Back Tattoo Designs For Men
Human re-create the ideal canvas for tattoo artist's needle. If you're considering your first tattoo could do worse than have it be a tattoo upper back. Why? Upper back tattoos can range from small and simple to large and complex, and can stand alone or be the foundation for larger and more elaborate tattoo work if you liked the results and want to add. Upper back tattoos are, more often than not, the settings in a closed room so they would not be a problem in a professional environment.
