A Chinese dragon tattoo is a popular choice for many and this is not surprising when you consider the designs available based on this mythological creature. Here are 3 types of Chinese dragon tattoo design that you might want to consider for your next tattoo.Chinese Dragon Tattoo On Leg
Many people get this tattoo placed on their upper arm and sometimes even extending into the chest. Another good place to have it is on the leg.
For men, the lower leg is often too hairy. Women who shave their legs won't have this problem. Having said that, the most popular site on the leg is the upper part of the thigh, on the outside surface.
This location for a Chinese tattoo of a dragon is great because it usually does not stop at the top of the leg. Often, the head and upper body of the dragon will extend up the side of the torso or to the front of the torso (under or passing the belt line). Sometimes, it may even go to the inner thigh.
Black Chinese Dragon Tattoos
Although many dragons are coloured, by far the most popular are simple black inked tattoos of dragons. The classic tattoo in this style uses a minimum number of lines and is a very simple tattoo. Sometimes this type of tattoo is referred to as a "tribal Chinese dragon tattoo". The word "tribal" when used for tattoos usually refers to the Maori style of solid sections of black ink interspersed with solid sections of white ink.
Even those black ink tattoos with greater detail look great when depicting a dragon. Every scale is drawn and the creature's curved pose makes for an intricate looking tattoo.
