Chinese Symbols Tattoos And Chinese Dragon Tattoo

By Darren Hartley


Getting no-regret Chinese symbols tattoos consists of a number of steps, starting with thinking of a content for your tattoo. Names, words, phrases and quotes are among the unlimited options available as tattoo content. The most essential, the second step, involves getting a professional translation of your chosen name, word, phrase or quote.

For Chinese symbols tattoos to stand out from a crowd, they must be done in a unique and appealing style. To do this, you either find and download Chinese writing fonts for designing the style yourself or find a translation service offering a wide range of styles and designs and choosing one style for your tattoo.

Very essential for Chinese symbol tattoos is a high quality stencil. Without one, fatal mistakes in the inking of your tattoo, that include misspellings, are bound to be committed. You can now start looking for a trusted local tattoo artist to do your tattoo for you. To help your artist, you can provide him with a printout of your designs and stencils in the size you want your tattoo to be done.

Just like most animal tattoos, the Chinese dragon tattoo represents attributes and traits of the dragon, including strength, courage and independence. Dragons were part of the historic culture of China, Japan and Vietnam. They were considered noble creatures with distinct honors and powers in these Eastern civilizations.

Ancient Chinese portray the dragon as a creature of wisdom, good luck and good will. This resulted to dragons featured in a Chinese dragon tattoo to be providers of these qualities to its wearer. Presented as a very intelligent creature, a dragon is believed to offer intelligence and protection to its master.

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.
