               Despite               the               language               of               the               name               given               them,               dragons               inhabit               the               myth               and               legends               of               most               ancient               and               modern               cultures               and               have               been               portrayed               throughout               history               as               magical               creatures               possessing               raw               power               and               mystical               might.

This               is               the               allure               of               the               dragon               tattoo               design.

No               other               tattoo               art               or               tattoo               design               makes               as               distinctive               and               commanding               an               individual               statement               than               a               dragon               tattoo.
               Dragon               tattoos               also               have               the               added               advantage               of               being               so               fluid               that               they               can               conform               to               and               flatter               the               contours               of               any               part               of               the               body.

Many               hardcore               tattoo               addicts               have               even               gotten               dragon               designs               whose               tail               begins               at               one               ankle               and               winds               its               way               up               the               leg               and               torso               with               the               dragon's               head               finally               resting               on               the               chest.

Dragons               can               even               coil               themselves               into               intricate               full               and               half               sleeve               tattoos,               and               a               dragon               in               flight               with               its               wings               spread               makes               an               excellent               lower               back               tattoo.
               Origin               of               the               Word               "Dragon"
               The               origin               of               the               word               "dragon"               has               been               traced               to               a               Greek               word,               "derkein,"               meaning               "sharp-sighted               one,"               which               appears               to               describe               a               snake,               so               when               it               was               converted               to               Latin,               the               word               became               "draco,"               or               "giant               snake."
               The               Popularity               of               Dragons
               Dragons               have               always               been               the               topic               of               fascination               and               mystery,               as               well               as               being               a               source               of               wonder,               a               symbol               of               hope               and               purity,               and               sometimes…jealousy,               miserliness,               maleficence               and               fierce               rage.
               Dragons               have               also               been               known               to               be               notorious               riddle-masters,               sentinels               of               sacred               shrines,               and               hoarders               of               treasures               beyond               imagining.

It               is               even               said               that               great               philosophers               would               climb               the               highest               mountains               peaks               or               venture               into               the               lowest               caverns               to               seek               the               sage               advice               of               dragons               in               secret.
               When               not               out               to               slay               dragons               for               immortality,               like               Sigfried,               or               for               the               golden               apples               of               great               happiness,               like               Hercules,               we               lowly               mortals               live               under               the               ever-vigilant               gaze               of               dragons.

Sometimes               we               reside               in               the               sphere               of               a               dragon's               good               fortune.

And               there               are               those               lucky               few               who               actually               get               to               live               under               the               wing               of               a               dragon's               protection.
               Dragons               have               even               crossed               over               into               the               real               world.

Vikings               carved               dragon               figureheads               on               the               prow               of               their               ships               because               they               believed               the               dragons               would               endow               keen               sight               and               cunning               to               the               Viking               warriors.

And               in               China,               emperors               think               they               are               the               real               dragons               and               the               sons               of               the               heaven.

They               sleep               on               dragon               beds,               sit               on               thrones               called               the               dragon               seat,               and               their               ceremonial               dress               is               known               as               dragon               robes.
               Nowadays               it's               quite               common               to               hear               parents               tell               their               children               bedtime               stories               about               good               and               kindly               dragons.

For               a               fee               you               can               hire               the               services               of               a               dragon               specialist               who               will               tell               you               the               name               of               your               own               personal               guardian               dragon               and               for               an               additional               sum               you               may               even               obtain               a               sketch               of               your               appointed               guardian.

There               are               even               group               therapy               sessions               that               help               you               release               the               inner               dragon               that               lies               dormant               in               all               of               us.
               With               the               success               of               Peter               Jackson's               Lord               of               the               Rings               film               trilogy,               interest               in               dragons               and               the               magical               world               created               by               J.R.R.

Tolkien               has               renewed,               just               as               it               had               back               in               1973               when               Gary               Gygax               of               TSR,               Inc.

created               a               roleplaying               game               named               Dungeons               and               Dragons               (D&D).
               D&D               also               goes               into               great               length               about               dragon               societies               and               the               philosophy               that               revolves               around               the               ancient               Ceremony               of               Sublimation,               where               dragons               aspire               to               reach               a               higher               level               of               existence               and               possibly               immortality               unique               to               dragonkind.
               And               then               there               are               the               tattoos.

Dragon               tattoo               designs               come               in               many               forms,               Celtic               dragon               tattoos,               tribal               dragon               tattoos,               Asian               dragon               tattoos,               and               the               list               goes               on.

When               it               comes               to               body               art,               dragon               tattoos               are               among               the               most               popular               tattoo               designs.
               What               a               Dragon               Tattoo               Represents               on               a               Woman
               A               dragon               tattoo               on               a               woman               usually               acknowledges               "woman               as               the               creator."               Like               the               dragons               of               many               mythologies,               woman's               true               body               form               is               that               of               life,               the               world               and               the               universe.

It               is               this               superior               form               that               allows               her               to               be               without               equal.

Dragon               body               art               also               represents               a               flowing,               fluid               grace               that               conceals               a               reserve               of               power               just               beneath               the               cool               surface.

Studies               have               shown               that               women               who               get               dragon               tattoos               become               more               self-confident               and               assertive.
               What               a               Dragon               Tattoo               Represents               on               a               Man
               A               dragon               tattoo               design               on               a               man               typically               signifies               raw               power.

Like               dragons,               men               are               the               guardians               of               that               which               is               sacred,               such               as               women               and               objects               of               great               wealth.

But               this               must               be               tempered               with               wisdom,               lest               the               greed               of               dragons               overpower               the               man's               soul               and               turn               him               into               a               ravenous               creature               with               an               insatiable               appetite.

Men               who               get               dragon               tattoos               view               themselves               as               being               revered               for               their               wisdom               but               feared               for               their               tremendous               power.
               Why               All               The               Sudden               Interest               In               Dragon               Tattoo               Designs?
               Actually,               the               interest               isn't               all               that               sudden               at               all.

Dragons               have               always               been               an               archetypal               choice               for               a               traditional               tattoo               design.

Far               more               popular               than               tribal,               butterfly,               Celtic,               and               even               cross               tattoos,               beautifully               rendered               coiling               dragon               tattoo               flash               can               adorn               any               part               of               both               the               male               and               female               body.

Not               to               mention               that               tattoo               designers               have               begun               to               take               traditional               dragon               tattoo               illustration               to               the               next               level,               giving               the               dragon               body               art               a               stylized               edge               that               is               sure               to               keep               people               staring               at               your               personal               dragon               tattoo               design               in               awe               and               appreciation.
               But               before               you               rush               out               to               get               your               dragon               tattoo,               you               should               familiarize               yourself               with               the               history               of               dragons               to               determine               which               tattoo               design               best               represents               your               characteristics               and               strengths               and               beliefs.
               THE               HISTORY               OF               DRAGONS
               Some               of               the               first               recorded               stories               involving               dragons               date               back               to               the               Sumerian               civilization,               located               between               the               Tigris               and               Euphrates               Rivers               in               an               area               once               called               Mesopotamia,               which               later               became               Persia,               and               is               now               better               know               as               Iraq               and               Iran.
               Mesopotamian               Dragons
               The               earliest               written               dragon               myth               was               carved               onto               clay               tablets               and               depicts               the               story               of               a               dragon               named               Asag,               who               battled               the               hero-god,               Ninurta.

Even               in               these               stories,               dragons               guarded               treasures,               held               back               floods,               and               imparted               great               knowledge.
               Babylonian               Dragons
               In               Babylonian               myth,               a               dragon               was               believed               to               have               aided               in               the               creation               of               the               world               and               the               gods,               and               although               some               of               the               dragons               served               as               the               guardians               of               god's               treasure               and               nature,               most               were               depicted               as               evil               creatures,               who               all               too               often               angered               the               gods.

It               is               believed               that               Asag               and               Ninurta,               from               the               Mesopotamian               myth,               are               introduced               by               the               Babylonians               as               Tiamet               and               Marduk,               though               this               may               not               be               totally               accurate               as               the               preserved               records               are               in               poor               condition               and               incomplete.
               A               story               that               did               survive               is               the               epic               tale               of               Gilgamesh,               who               set               out               to               slay               Humbab,               the               dragon               guardian               of               the               forest,               who               was               thought               to               be               a               threat               to               the               nearby               town.
               Babylonian               history               also               tells               in               the               "Book               of               Bel               and               the               Dragon,"               that               the               ruler               Nebuchadnezzar,               kept               a               dragon               in               the               temple               of               the               god               Bel,               where               the               dragon               was               worshipped.

When               the               Hebrew               prophet,               Daniel,               began               denouncing               idols,               Nebuchadnezzar               told               him               of               the               dragon               and               argued               that               the               dragon               was               real               and               Daniel               must               worship               it.

Daniel               asked               why               the               people               worshipped               such               a               creature,               and               when               faced               by               the               dragon,               slew               it.
               Sumerian               Dragons
               Sumerian               myth               depicts               several               dragons,               chief               among               them,               Zu,               a               cunning               and               devious               dragon               who               stole               the               Tupsimati,               the               tablets               of               law,               from               the               god               Enlil,               who               wore               the               tablets               on               him.

Another               popular               dragon               is               Gandareva,               an               immense               creature               who               was               the               guardian               of               another               dragons               and               preyed               upon               humans               for               food.

Chinese               even               consider               themselves               "the               descendants               of               the               dragon"               and               their               culture               is               rich               with               the               presence               of               dragons,               which               is               considered               to               be               a               symbol               of               imperial               power.

Vitra               absorbed               the               cosmic               waters               from               the               universe               and               coiled               around               a               great               mountain.

Vitra               is               sometimes               described               as               the               personification               of               winter.
               A               more               fascinating               Indian               Dragon               myth               involves               the               only               dragon               ever               to               be               converted               to               a               human               religion.

               The               tale               of               St.

George's               dragon               is               perhaps               the               most               famous               of               the               European               dragons,               in               which               a               dragon               appears               at               the               village               of               Cappadocia               and               threatens               to               destroy               the               region.

Eventually               the               only               maiden               left               is               the               princess,               who               is               tied               to               a               stake.

Before               the               dragon               can               devour               her               however,               George               wanders               by               and               slays               the               dragon.
               Another               dragon               can               be               found               in               the               epic               Anglo-Saxon               poem,               Beowulf,               which               chronicled               the               three               battles               of               the               hero               of               the               same               name.

In               the               first               battle,               Beowulf               slew               Grendel.

In               the               second,               Beowulf               battled               Grendel's               larger,               more               fearsome               mother.

In               the               third               and               final               battle,               Beowulf               fought               a               fierce               and               fiery               dragon,               that               he               managed               to               vanquish,               but               suffered               wounds               so               lethal               that               he               himself               perished.
               Greek               Dragons
               Greeks               mythology               views               dragons               as               terrifying               dark               creatures,               remnants               of               an               earlier               age,               that               needed               to               be               slaughtered               by               a               hero.

Dragons               were               guardians               of               underground               sources               of               power,               and               often               guarded               springs,               where               the               watery               underworld               burst               to               the               surface.
               Austrian               Dragons
               In               the               Vorarlbeg               area               of               West               Austria               dragons               were               not               considered               supernatural               but               rather               simply               an               unwanted               part               of               nature               like               wolves,               bears,               and               mountain               cats.

The               annoying               dragons               occasionally               took               a               horse,               cow,               or               some               sheep               but               were               rather               shy               about               confronting               mankind               and               were               thus               never               seriously               feared               or               hunted.

               Tarasque               is               a               dragon               of               a               different               kind.

Reputed               to               be               the               daughter               of               the               giant               serpent,               Onachus,               and               the               water               dragon,               Leviathan,               Tarasque               came               from               the               sea               up               the               river               Rhone               and               decided               to               make               her               home               in               Southern               France.

She               terrorized               the               region               for               many               years,               despite               the               attempt               by               many               knights               and               heroes               to               slay               her.

That               was               until               St.

Martha               faced               the               dragoness               alone               in               a               white               dress               and               armed               only               with               her               faith               and               a               jar               of               holy               water.

Apparently               that               was               enough               as               she               led               Tarasque               back               to               the               town               where               the               now               docile               and               trusting               creature               was               hacked               to               pieces.

Every               effort               to               destroy               the               dragon               ended               in               failure,               until               a               traveling               scholar               arrived               and               created               a               tempest               that               completely               covered               the               valley               in               a               landslide               of               rocks,               trees,               giant               boulders,               and               mud.

The               dragon               was               never               spotted               again               and               the               area               became               known               as               the               "dragons               grave."

This               dragon,               however,               wasn't               slain               by               a               knight.
