Dragons tattoo 2

Hi, everyone.

In this post I'd like to show you several dragons tattoo designs available on my website, www.seiza.ro.

tribal tattoo / tiger and dragon tattoo

First, a black and white tiger and dragon tattoo design, combined with some tribal elements. I think that this design could be a good choice for a shoulder tattoo or for a back tattoo. If you like this image and want to see it in a larger format (600x500 px) you can find it on my website.



back tattoo / tribal tattoo / dragons tattoo

Next: a (relatively) symmetrical tribal tattoo, appropriate for a back tattoo (an upper-back tattoo or a lower back tattoo). If you like this image and want to see it in a larger format (600x500 px) you can find it on my website.



dragon tattoo / bracelet tattoo

Next: a chinese dragon bracelet tattoo design. Read more about the Chinese dragons and about the main types of chinese dragons.


dragons tattoo / tribal tattoo / chinese writing tattoo

A tattoo design for the persons born in the Chinese year of the Dragon; the design combines some tribal elements, two Chinese dragons (in fact, is just one dragon mirrored) and the Chinese ideograms for the Year of the Dragon: 龙年; (pinyin: lóngnián).

The last image for today is a tattoo design which depicts two stylized dragons sitting back to back.
