Dragons are one of the most popular mythological creatures. The descend from various legends, telling tales of fire-breathing, winged creatures.
There are two different dragons that you'll commonly see- the Eastern and the Western dragons.

The Western dragons tend to be the evil creatures that destroy villages and guard hoards of treasure.
As a tattoo, dragons are usually represented in the form of the Eastern dragon and of oriental styles. Dragon tattoos are normally seen in black and commonly drawn with flames and fire. But, Japanese and Chinese dragon styles are usually pretty ornate and can be in color or black and white shades.
It's up to you as to what dragon style you choose for your tattoo.
Dragons are a popular tattoo among both men and woman, each person finding a different reason and symbolism behind the dragon.
