Dragon Tattoo – Best Places for Your Dragon Tattoo
Dragon tattoos are perfect for fitting the unique contours of the body. Dragons are such agile creatures; that’s why you can wrap, curve, twist, and turn the design around pretty much any part of your body.
The intricacy of most dragon tattoo designs disguises any imperfection such as a scar, birthmark or an old, bogus tattoo. They are the perfect solution for hiding something on your body while showcasing a masterpiece of art.
These are not just any ol’ designs for a cover-up job though. No, dragon tattoos have a meaning of power, strength, and survival, meant to be worn by the true “warriors” of life. When worn by a woman, they represent the independence, intelligence, and strength of that female. These are ambitious creatures carrying the ancient story wherever they go.
Here are some very unique ways to wear your next dragon tattoo.
Across your chest
Some of the most original tattoo artists have drawn these creatures coming over a man’s shoulder and across their pec. This looks very cool if you have nice chest muscles. You can even get the tattoo drawn right across the front of your chest twirling under your collarbone.
Ribcage
There’s so much room to play with on your side. The dragon’s body, neck or tail can curve around the front and back of your body in the most creative way. You can have the head on one side of your body and the tail on another. The possibilities are endless and the results will be VERY cool!
Back
The back is another huge canvas (so to say) when picking a spot for a dragon tattoo. There’s plenty of room for a mural piece or a design that can spread out, twist, and turn up and down your spine. The head of the dragon and be near your left shoulder blade, the body intertwining with your spine, and the tail could end up near your right hip. Intricate, expensive, and a little painful, probably, but very original!
Calf muscle
This area for a dragon tattoo is typically for a man. With the curve of your calf, you can easily and creatively wrap a dragon design around the muscle. The artist can incorporate your muscle definition in the design for an added effect. Even if your calves aren’t that defined, your dragon can have a thick belly or neck.
Forearm
This looks very sexy on a man with well-developed forearm muscles. The dragon can twist all around the top and underside of this area as a whole sleeve. This is a very personalized way of showcasing a tattoo because it’s custom fit to your arm.
Those are just some of the most unique ideas to use with your dragon tattoos (most of which I have never even seen before). Tell your tattoo artist where you’d like to see your dragon go and they’ll take it from there.
