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.

By having your Chinese symbols tattoos done in a unique and appealing style, you can assure yourself that your tattoo will stand out in a crowd. There are two ways you can do this. You either find and download Chinese writing fonts and design the style yourself or find a translation service that has a wide range of styles and designs available and choosing one style that strikes your fancy.

A high quality stencil is very essential for Chinese symbol tattoos. Fatal mistakes, including misspellings, easily result in the absence of a high quality stencil. After printing out your designs and stencils in your desired size, you can find a trusted local tattoo artist to do your tattoo for you.

Strength, courage and independence are the notable attributes and traits of the dragon, which are represented in a Chinese dragon tattoo. Part of the historic culture of China, Japan and Vietnam, dragons were considered noble creatures with distinct honors and powers in these Eastern countries.

The dragon in a Chinese dragon tattoo represents wisdom, good luck and good will. This is the way most ancient Chinese portray the dragon. It is usually depicted as a very intelligent creature, offering wisdom and protection.

Because a dragon is seen freely roaming anywhere it wishes, a Chinese dragon tattoo is considered a symbolism for the freedom of a soul or in a life. The fearsome and warlike qualities of a dragon are depicted in the many stories involving knights needing to slay dragons to covet the love of a princess. As a matter of fact, the defeat of a dragon is one of the highest honors a person can achieve, according to ancient cultures.
