Expressing your love for real tattoo art on your body can be a very fulfilling experience. Once you get your tattoo ingrained into you, it becomes a part of you and says much about who you are. You start to give more attention to that particular area of your body and admire it more than you use to - this is perfectly natural! The dragon is a 'classic' tattoo motif, popular with men and women, and shows the profound influence of Japanese and Chinese culture in Western tattooing. Dragons were around long before man set his footprint in the sands of time. These giant, winged, fire-breathing lizards are reminiscent of the prehistoric creatures - dinosaurs, no less - that roamed the earth millions of years ago, but the fact is, the dragon grew out of the human imagination. The dragon represents both the beneficent and malevolent elements, depending on which part of the world it breathed its fiery breath. In China, these mythological creatures were the symbol of both the supernatural and of imperial power, residing in the heavenly realms!
