Dragon Tattoo

Dragon tattoo..... what is it? A mythical figure or symbol of power 

This year, on January 28, according to the Chinese calendar, the year of the dragon (Year of the Green Tree Dragon) began. This year repeats itself every 60 years, perhaps many of you who were born in this year or are deeply interested in Eastern culture, will be attracted by the tattoo that symbolizes the Green Wooden Dragon. 

Let us disassociate ourselves from ethnic affiliations, fashion screams, let us instead trace the path of the dragon with the eye of the tattoo needle :) 

To begin with, let's divide the dragon in the same way as humans into genders Feminine (symbol)  

And the Masculine (symbol), the truth is harsh, dragons have always been a priority for men's tattoos. The woman and the dragon are just side by side in the Background. I couldn't find a indeed feminine silhouette of a dragon as a tattoo - if you have a good example send me an email - thanks :) 

Dragon tattoo meaning will also have many translations, I like this one: Dragons are often lonely creatures who enjoy solitude. They are said to be highly intelligent and unattached, free to roam as they please. Even death cannot command a dragon! This makes the dragon a true symbol of freedom. 

The origin of the word "dragon" comes from the Greek word "derekein", which was used for snakes and meant "sharp sight", and after passing to the Latins, the word became "draco", which means "a huge snake", a dragon. 

Dragons are found in all cultures of the world, in Australia and New Zealand they are called "Taniwha", while in Africa there is a rainbow dragon "Aido-Hwedo". I don't have a clear artistic vision for these cultures, thank you for sending information about them - I promise to research. 

Of course, the color and where the tattoo is placed also play an important role, but this is already a composition and an individual's point of view. For my part, I promise to throw in my concept art about dragons, paying attention to feminine nature. I will try to highlight the feminine gender of the dragon so that the contrast and additional concept of "Taniwha" and "Aido - Hvedo" can be seen.
