Tribal dragon tattoos are symbolic of the qualities a person wishes to express through the art work image engraved on the skin. I would say that tribal dragon tattoos account for around 30% of my tattoo work, which is a big portion!

Most of my clients have found success getting the tribal dragon tattoo they want, from the ‘Chopper Tattoo‘ dragon collection. Its very good value and you can choose the cheaper option and save $$ if your just after a single pattern. I myself have two slightly modified Chopper Dragons on my back, and am very pleased with them!

Many more get added all the time. The one time fee covers all downloads (instead of per item), which makes it amazing value.

Amazing Tattoos here!	# 3 Tattoo Gallery - ‘The Tattoo Designs’ Average User Rating:   This top-notch Tattoo gallery was one I desperatly wanted to rate higher, as its quite flash and has some amazingly nice Tattoos. However, the searchability and range let it down a little, which is why I placed it third. Try Chopper out first, and if you are still stuck without a beauty (which I wouldnt believe!) give ‘The Tattoo Designs’ a whirl. You might eventually strike gold here… Visit ‘The Tattoo Designs’
Awesome unique designs	# 4 Tattoo Gallery – Tattoo Fever Average User Rating:   Tattoo Fever is an up and coming star in the tattoo gallery world, and mark my words, it will be world class given some more time! What made me rate it fourth here, is that it did not have the number of designs to warrant beating aside the others. Its still had some awesome, unique content, and was a breeze to browse through! Keep your eyes peeled…this is one to watch! Visit Tattoo Fever

History of Tribal Dragon Tattoos:

Split into regions the Eastern and Western dragons carry separate meanings and their illustrations are also different. The Eastern (Chinese) dragon symbolizes wisdom, kindness and is the good willed dragon of the group. The Western (European) dragons are the fire breathers and are usually portrayed as powerful, evil, mean and guarding lots of gold. There are many more designs and meanings depending on which country you live in. Today the Welsh flag still carries the picture of the Western design in the middle of it due to the many historical meanings it symbilized.

Tribal tattoo designs come in many forms due to the large number of tribes that existed around the world over many centuries. The tribal tattoo design is even taking on its own form now with artists creating new designs not seen on the tribesman. Animals were a common image on the body of the tribesman due to the continuous encounters they had with animals in their everyday existence especially the birds and fish. Animals were not only used for food and the skins for clothing but the tribes used them to protect their families and themselves so it was the perfect symbolic image to be marked on the skin. Special events like catching a large animal were also commemorated on the skin to advertise ones ability.

Since getting married to American rapper Jay-Z, pop star Beyoncé Knowles has been seen with a glamorous ring covering her finger tattoo. The tattoo is the Roman numerals “IV” and it is exactly the same as Jay-Z’s finger tattoo. This symbol has been interpreted to mean “forever” but others say that it represents the day number of when they were both born. Jay-Z, who’s real name is Shawn Corey Carter, was born on December 4 whilst Beyoncé was born on September 4. They also got married (after the tattoos were made) on the day number 4 in April 2008.

A tattoo is the permanent marking in the skin made by punctures and inserting pigments in it to create patterns. Tattooing has been practiced in many cultures but its meaning to each culture varies.
