Inking no-regret Chinese symbols tattoos is not a simple matter of getting into a studio and having your tattoo done.

Once you have selected a tattoo content, the second step, which is considered the most essential one, is to get a professional translation of your chosen content.

If you want your appealing Chinese symbols tattoos to stand out in a crowd, you must find a unique and appealing style in which to do them. You have the option to do the design yourself from downloading Chinese writing fonts.

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.
