Tatoo Dragon ThailandSo why would anyone want to have a tattoo dragon? Isn't the dragon a mythical creature, created by the writers of legends and drawn from the minds of unreliable artists over the ages? Surely modern men and women are far beyond belief in such animals, unlike the medieval cartographers who lettered 'Here be Dragons' on the vague outlines of the unknown lands on the edges of their maps and charts, as a warning to the unwary.
It's not enough just to assume that modern tattoo subjects think that a dragon has a 'cool shape'. So do giraffes, humming birds and stick insects, but you don't see many of those when the shirts come off at summer parties.
Dragons have a place in both eastern and western history and culture which gives a clue to their popularity. Dragons are always large, powerful and dangerous, and people who have dragon tattoos likely feel that yes, they are a bit like that too. In stories dragons are often imbued with some magical or supernatural power, far beyond that of ordinary animals. They can also talk in riddles, they can fly, and they are usually almost invulnerable, qualities which any human would be happy to acquire.
