The tales of the tattoo motifs
Dragon tattoo clothes
Dragons symbolise power, wealth and wisdom. They represent good health and a long life. They control the sky, earth, sea and even the weather. Dragons have the head of a camel, antlers of a deer, scales of a fish, paws of a tiger, claws of an eagle, eyes of a rabbit, and ears of a bull. Pretty wild, right? Chinese dragons have 4 or 5 claws, while Japanese ones have 3.
The Japanese believe that dragons originate from their own land and the further a dragon has travelled from its homeland, the more toes it has. They’re often depicted holding a glowing pearl in their claws, which gives them power to rise to the heavens. They represent spiritual perfection and wisdom. They usually live deep under the sea, where fish grant their wishes and turtles are their messengers. You’ll see them together a lot in art. And they protect against fire too!
