Dragons are perhaps the world’s most enduring mythological creature. For over a millenia, stories of dragons have spread from India to China, Europe, and the Americas. It’s hard to reduce dragons to just a few symbolic meanings, but they’re normally associated with protection, power, wisdom, and the acquisition of spiritual insight.
As tattoos, dragons are regularly featured in traditional Japanese tattooing, often shown looping up and around the wearer’s arms or legs.
