Asian Dragon Tattoos

Asian dragon tattoos are not new in the world of body art. Even if some die hard tattoo fans brand Japanese tattoos or other Asian tattoos as tired and overly used designs, the meaning of this specific design is so rich, that people still want to have a dragon inked on their skin.



This and the fact that any ink looks so cool and kick-ass whenever sported and done well are the main reasons why people never get tired of getting dragon Japanese tattoos.



Asian dragon tattoos are usually Chinese or Japanese inspired. Chinese have 9 different types of dragon tattoos - dragon king, the horned, the yellow, the heavenly, the coiled, the spirit, the hidden treasures and winged dragon. These all have their own special meanings so the meaning of your Asian design tattoos will depend on which type you will have inked to your arm or your back. If you have the dragon king, which comprises of four dragons, then that symbolizes immense power and authority.
