Chinese Symbols And Dragon Tattoos

By Darren Hartley


There is a guide in getting no-regret Chinese symbols tattoos. The first step in this guide is to think of a content for your tattoo. Among the unlimited options available are names, words, phrases and quotes. The second step, and probably the most essential, is getting a professional translation for the selected option.

If you want your Chinese symbols tattoos to stand out in a crowd, you must find a unique and appealing style in which to do them. You have the option to do the design yourself from downloading Chinese writing fonts. An alternative would be to find a translation service that offers a wide range of styles and designs and simply select a style that you like.

Chinese symbol tattoos are efficiently done with a high quality stencil on hand. The absence of a stencil could result to fatal mistakes such as misspellings that will require re-doing your tattoo. By bringing along a printout of your selected designs and stencils in the exact size you want your tattoo, you will help your selected local tattoo artist do his job of inking your tattoo correctly and efficiently.

Just like most animal tattoos, the Chinese dragon tattoo represents attributes and traits of the dragon, including strength, courage and independence. Dragons were part of the historic culture of China, Japan and Vietnam. They were considered noble creatures with distinct honors and powers in these Eastern civilizations.

Wisdom, good luck and good will are represented by the dragon when featured in a Chinese dragon tattoo. The ancient Chinese culture attributes these qualities to a dragon. Other than offering knowledge and protection, a dragon is often depicted as a very intellectual creature.

Freedom of a soul or in a life is an additional symbolism of a Chinese dragon tattoo. This symbolism stems from the fact that dragons are considered free to roam anywhere it pleases. Fearsome and warlike, the dragon is portrayed as a necessary creature to defeat for knights to gain the love of princesses in numerous adventure tales. Because of this, there are ancient cultures that consider the defeat of a dragon to be among the highest honors a person can achieve.
