Myths And Meanings Of Dragon Tattoos
from:A dragon is usually symbolized as a big powerful reptile or serpent with mystical qualities in most societies around the world. It is one of the few mythological creatures known in all four corners of the world and they inhabit the myths and legends of almost every culture, both modern and ancient. This makes dragon tattoos one of the most popular designs around the planet, with no other tattoo known to make a more distinctive statement.
What Dragon Tattoos Mean To Men And Women
Dragon tattoos are immensely popular with both sexes. For men, the dragon tattoo symbolizes raw power and brute force, together with both reason and reason and wisdom. Men, like dragons, were once considered to be the protectors of sacred items, such as riches or religious artifacts. The man who sports these types of tattoos consider themselves to be the guardians and protectors of the things that are irreplaceable in their lives, such as their children and wife. Men normally wear this tattoo on their arms, legs or backs.
For women the dragon tattoos can mean that they are both the protector and bringer of life. It is believed that women and dragons possess the same abilities of cunning thought, protection of the items they view as their own and the mystical properties of creating life. Women usually place their dragon tattoos on their ankle, foot, or shoulder.
Understanding Dragon Designs
The most popular colors for dragon tattoos are red, green and black. These colors are reflecting the natural colors of reptiles found around the world today. Fire breathing is very rarely depicted, with the dragons face usually wearing a small smile or showing rows of teeth. The tattoos come in many designs, with the most popular being the Chinese style followed by Japanese styles, tribal styles, and Celtic styles. Horned dragon tattoos represent power and celestial dragons represent protection. The yellow dragon symbolizes wisdom and age, while green dragons symbolize virility and youth. Spirit dragons are the kings of the sky and wind, whilst coiled dragons are the rulers of both the seas and their tides. Some dragon tattoos represent purity and hope, while others symbolize jealousy and malevolence. The meaning of the design can sometimes be very much dependent on the personality of the person who is choosing it.
Dragons have been a common tattoo design for centuries, more popular even than the tribal tattoo, cross tattoos, and butterfly tattoos put together. Because they are worn by both sexes, dragon tattoos are the design most commonly seen in just about any area of the world. Whatever your dragon design means to you, it can reveal your true nature to others around you and represent what is truly in your soul so think carefully when choosing.
