DRAGONS

 AS THE POST BELOW STATED I WILL BE STARTING TO GIVE INFORMATION ON ALL THINGS TATTOO.

SO TODAYS POST WILL BE ALL ABOUT DRAGONS.

In The Dictornary The Definition  Of Dragon Is : A mythical monster traditionally represented as a gigantic reptile having a lion's claws, the tail of a serpent, wings, and a scaly skin.

BUT IN THE TATTOO WORLD DRAGON TATTOOS MEAN SO MUCH MORE....

The dragon is a mythological creature that is both fearsome and beautiful and is the subject of folklore around the world.

Dragons are an important part of the Japanese mythology. There is a belief in Japan, that the first Emperor of Japan is a descendant of the dragons. Very often, dragon tattoos in Japan are made as a representation of protection of the royal family of Japan. In Japan, the dragon is seen as a water deity (that's why Japanese dragon tattoos often include waves and clouds).

Japanese dragons have the following characteristics:

• No wings.
• Serpentine-like.
• The head of a camel.
• Scales of a carp.
• The paws of a tiger.
• Claws like an eagle.
• Japanese dragons often have long whiskers.
• Sometimes, they have a jewel under the chin.

Some Examples Of Japanese Dragon Tattoos(IMAGES FROM GOOGLE)

SOME EXAMLES OF CHINESE DRAGONS


Dragons are an important part of the world of mythology, folklore and fairy tales in (medieval) Europe. European dragons are quite different from Asian dragons, though they are recognizably the same creature.

The fairy tale dragon may be on its own or it may be accompanied by other associated images – think knights or fairies, for example. The lines are likely to be finer, with intricate detailing. These dragon tattoos make a beautiful and striking visual image.

The appearance of European medieval dragons:

• Wings growing on its back (that look like the wings of a bat). Most oriental dragons don't have wings.
• Usually has a long tail.
• 2 or 4 legs.
• Lives in a cave or underground lair. The European dragon is linked to the element earth.
• Most European dragons are malevolent. (INFO FROM TATTOODESIGNS.ORG)
