Asian Dragon Tattoos - Do You Want One?

Asian dragon tattoos are not new in the world of body art. Even if some die hard tattoo fans brand Japanese tattoos or other Asian tattoos as tired and overly used designs, the meaning of this specific design is so rich, that people still want to have a dragon inked on their skin.

This and the fact that any ink looks so cool and kick-ass whenever sported and done well are the main reasons why people never get tired of getting dragon Japanese tattoos.

Asian dragon tattoos are usually Chinese or Japanese inspired. Chinese have 9 different types of dragon tattoos - dragon king, the horned, the yellow, the heavenly, the coiled, the spirit, the hidden treasures and winged dragon. These all have their own special meanings so the meaning of your Asian design tattoos will depend on which type you will have inked to your arm or your back. If you have the dragon king, which comprises of four dragons, then that symbolizes immense power and authority.

And so on, know take a look 6 of the most popular below.

For Japanese dragon tattoos, there are 6 types as seen below.

o Hai Riyo, the bird dragon.

o Sui Riu which is the Japanese version of the dragon king who also has power over the rain (just like the Chinese version)

o Ka Riu, the small red dragon (reminds you of Mushu in Mulan).

o Han Riu, at forty feet, probably the biggest among the six.

o Fuku Riu, dragon of luck

o Ri Riu, the rare dragon with a good eyesight.

Neck Star Tattoos

As you know, the star tattoo is very popular these days, my friend said that at least 10 people get star tattoo everyday. This is a nice little neck tattoo. A heart on top of a heart on top of a heart. I’m not sure what it is meant to mean to this person, if anything. The artwork is lower end but good enough for what this neck tattoo is. And of course this tattoo is one of those that few people will ever notice. More of a personal thing. You can search on Google to find more star tattoo inspiration, but I suggest you get tattoo designs from paid websites.

Angelina Jolie's Tattoos Pictures

Angelina Jolie has the phrase "know your rights" tattooed just below the base of her neck.

The tattoo has become more and more popular these days, a lot people around me are got gorgeous tattoos! From tribal to star, from butterfly to dragon, really cool! Of course, a lot celebrities are get tattoos. Today we talking about Angelina Jolie's tattoos.

Angelina Jolie is an American actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.I love Angelina very much.


Angelina's back tattoos has been edited and added to almost as much as her arms, if not moreso. She used to wear the Japanese kanji that translated to "death" on her left shoulder, but that tattoo was covered over with an elaborate Buddhist prayer of protection. It is a Sanskrit blessing in the Cambodian language, and she has said it is to honor her first adopted son Maddox.

Her lower back is the area that has been added to the most. Originally she had two tiny tribal-style designs on either side of her spine and a small dragon. However on a trip to Thailand, she had that work topped by a large tiger design.
