Asian Dragon Tattoos - Unleash Your Dragon

What you should know before you get any Asian dragon tattoos:

A brief overview to help you make a better guided decision when it comes to choosing your design.

Dragons have long been important figures in Asian culture. The most commonly known Asian dragons include those from Japan and China, Korea, and Indonesia. Differences among the Asian dragons are minor. For example, Japanese dragons traditionally have five claws, where as in Chinese culture five clawed dragons were reserved for emperors, with four claws being the norm. Personally, my favourite are the Japanese dragons. I like them because of their long "whiskers" and jewel on their chin.

Asian dragons are distinct from their Western counterparts in that in Western culture they are viewed as pure evil whereas in Asian culture they are connected to the emperors and imperial families and are highly respected creatures.

Asian Dragon Tattoos are very popular today due to their rich diversity in design and meaning. These creatures can symbolize guardianship, freedom, wisdom, and empowerment. A unique idea is having a design in which the dragon is breathing out a flame which spells a lovers name or initials, or something similar. In this case, the dragon represents the "fire within", which could symbolize a burning passion for someone or something.

Common locations for Asian dragon tattoos include the full back and upper arm. Upper arm designs usually consist of the dragon wrapping around the arm, with its head extending onto the chest or back. These tattoos are excellent for wrapping around curves and flattering natural body contours.

Star Tattoo Designs - The Meaning of Star Tattoos and Why You Should Get One

Star tattoos designs

Star tattoos designs are one of the most common types of tattoo that people search for and select because of the variation in designs. But why are star tattoos so appealing to many people? A star is such a simple shape but yet so meaningful. When people think of stars, they envision hope, dreams and wishes. Stars also represents fame and success hence the reason why celebrities are referred to as stars. Even fictional characters like Mario are always in the search for stars in the galaxy. Stars always hold a positive image in our mind which is why we tend to idolize them. Even in dreams, it symbolizes success, your ideals and aspirations. Besides these general meanings, people get tattoos of a star because it represents an important changing point in their life. It could remind them of a person that greatly influences and are an important figure in their life.

Unique Star tattoos

The star is also a common type of tattoo because people like them for the versatility of the design. It can range from something as simple as a single star on the wrist, to a series of stars on a shoulder blade. The designs can even be as complex as incorporating a design within the edges of the shape such as a flag. Even though a lot of people have star tattoos, it is still appealing to them considering that no design is ever the same unless you choose a star tattoo design from a tattoo parlor that is available to the public. But nonetheless, each star that is permanently inked onto your skin holds a different story and meaning that is personal to you.

Generally when people think of stars, they correlate the figure with women, but that is not always the case. There are plenty of men out there that have multiple tattoos of stars including celebrities like Bruce Willis and Nick Carter. But not only that, star tattoos have the capability of looking nice on any part of the body, which is also another reason as to why male and females get them regardless of the meaning. It can also be easily hidden depending on the size and position of the tattoo. But whatever the reason is for someone to get a tattoo, all that matters is if the star tattoo design they chose represent and is meaningful to them.

Steaming Hot Locations For a Sexy Tattoo

So you determined that it is time to get your new (or first) tattoo. Before you do anything, you will want to determine where on your body to put that new sexy tattoo. A hot tattoo on a woman is all about one important thing and this is location, location, location. Some woman prefer going about it the lengthy way by finding a tattoo and then deciding where to put it. This is not ideal. You more than likely will end up with a tattoo your are not too proud of on a location you really are not fond of. I have seen my fair share of sexy tattoos on gals but I have also seen some nightmares inked on women all because they seemed to have rushed the process.

Here are the top 5 sexy locations for a women to get a tattoo.

Foot: If you have nice, soft feet, this could not be sexier. I would shy away from this area though if you have rough feet or toes you are not proud of. You want to show your tattoo off and if you have less than perfect feet, you will never want to show it off. The design must flow with your foot and not run against the grain as it were.

Ankle: If you talk to most guys, they will tell you an ankle tattoo is just plain sexy. We don’t know why but we just know they are! Since this is your ankle, the lines must be very smooth and tight to go with the flow of your ankle. Your skin is a quite a bit thinner at your ankle so you want to make sure to have an experienced tattoo artist tackle this project.

Hot Locations For a Sexy Tattoo

Lower back: The “tramp stamp” is a great place to get inked but just don’t make it too small most artist will tell you it should not be any smaller than 1/6 the size of your lower back and should not be to bold unless that is the look you want. Following the contours is very important. Just doing a square shape will be very unattractive. I think that is called a tramp. Yours needs to be attractive and detailed. This drives guy’s wild when they see a little glimpse of it. All they want to do is see what the rest of it looks like!

Hip: Your hip is a great place to get inked especially in a swimming suit or just showing a little above low rider jeans. You will for surely attract guys attention. Just make sure your artist follows the contour of your hip to highlight all the features you have

Navel: With belly button rings and a short sexy shirt to flaunt it navel tattoos have become very well-liked and is an instant focal point when you have one. In this occasion less is more, don’t get something to large or outrageous. While belly button rings and “skimpy” shirts are becoming more and more prominent, it is a given that navel tattoos are a sexy method to accessorize. It’s an instant piece of ‘jewelry’ that’s forever on your body and receiving great attention

These are the five favorite areas for a sexy tattoo on a women but always remember to choose your area first and then your tattoo!

Understanding Chinese Symbol Tattoos

men back tattoos with dragon, peacock and kanti tattoo

Chinese symbol tattoosChinese symbol tattoos are very popular today because they are really beautiful. And because most of us in the Western people cannot read Chinese symbol, Chinese symbol tattoos become an exotic form of expression.

My Name is Yingying and I am a Chinese Tattoo Artist. I have been providing custom Chinese tattoo translation and design service during the past three years.
Western people sometimes ask me some questions when they are planning to get Chinese symbols tattoos.

I have listed some of the most FAQs as below. you may find the answers are very useful information if you are planning to get one soon.

Can anything be translated and written in Chinese symbols?
Yes, anything can be translated and written in Chinese symbols. Chinese has more than 4000 years history. The most ancient Chinese symbols called oracle were written on animal bones. Chinese is a fully developed writing system with over 70,000 symbols (characters), capable of recording all nuances of contemporary language.

What are the differences between kanji and Chinese symbols?
Kanji is the term for Chinese symbols that are used in the Japanese language. Kanji in Japanese are typically characters from the Chinese language that have been adapted to mean Japanese words. The meanings in Chinese and Japanese can be the same but pronounced differently, or they may have entirely different meanings.

Why do I need the custom designs for a Chinese tattoo?
Your tattooist needs the design as a clear reference while inking. If you get free translation from web or somewhere else, it is usually a small and blur image which can not be used for inking purpose. If the tattooist does use it for inking, then your Chinese tattoo is worse than do not have one at all. (You may find some vivid samples of both bad and good Chinese tattoos on my website). Comparing the free crap, the custom tattoo design is large clear image come with stencil outline which your tattooist will use it to ink a high quality Chinese symbol tattoo on your body.

Can one English word be translated into either one symbol or two symbols?
The answer is it depends on the English word to be translated. Some English words can be translated into either one symbol or two symbols. For example, beauty can be translated into either one or two symbols, and the meaning is the same. Whereas, some words must be translated into two symbols, hope is an example, there is no single Chinese symbol which can be express the meaning of hope.

Having your body inked can be a very rewarding experience which can last for the rest of your life. Many people who have Chinese symbol tattoos feel that they are very much symbolic representations of their inner feelings and personality. That is the power of choosing a Chinese symbol tattoo that represents your true self, so it is of the up most importance to select the Chinese Symbols perfect match the meanings you want to express through your tattoos

japanese yakuza tattoo designs

The sound of the word "Yakuza tattoo" may mean a lot of things to a lot of people. It could mean power, criminality and outlaws. The Yakuza is a term used to refer to the modern breed of Japanese outlaws associated with similar activities as the Mafia. Unknown to many, the Yakuza existed even before the Sicilian Mafia, which started in Italy. In Asia, people are often frightened with the word Yakuza.

Yakuza tattoo members can easily be spotted in a lot of ways. They have an odd way of wearing clothes and their hairstyles are distinctly peculiar as well. They also have a certain air and pride to themselves and exude negative social behavior. Policemen and other members of the society would often notice them because of their horrid acts. Another thing that identifies a Yakuza is their tattoos.

Although yakuza tattoos are considered as a body art, for most of the Yakuzas, tattoos has been a symbol of their notorious organization and a way of identifying their members. You can find the symbol of a Yakuza's clan on his chest area. The Yakuza have a certain liking with the art of body tattoos. Tattooing symbolizes boldness and brevity which are some of the things that the Yakuza stands for. Getting a tattoo is also a sign of non-conformity and in some culture tattooing has been an act of going against the mainstream culture. The tattoo is a great accessory to a Yakuza member because of what it intrinsically symbolizes.

Yakuza tattoos come in different styles and forms. They are often done in colored inks and their designs make bold statements. Yakuza tattoos are often placed in body spots that are often exposed for the entire world to see. You can often see them on their hands, arms, chest and necks. Because of the relation of Yakuza to tattoos, you cannot blame a normal Japanese to be afraid and slightly frightened of some people with large and daring tattoos. It is common for heavily tattooed people to be banned in public and some exclusive hotels. Yakuza is known to tattoo their own members. If you see a black ring around an arm of a Yakuza, this can stand for the number of crimes he committed.

The Yakuza tattoo designsis often related to drug sales, prostitution, gambling and other criminal activities. They fund their group by extorting money from local businessmen. They would extort merchandise stores, restaurants and other business establishments like the government would ask for tax. This is one of the things that they do that makes them a lot of money.

With the rise of modern Japan comes the rebirth of the Yakuza. Today, the Yakuza do not want to be associated with breaking the law any longer. There are Yakuza members who open heartedly help the poor people of Japan. Yakuza groups are often referred to as boryokudan which means violent group. This branding offends a number of Yakuzas. When Kobe, a place in Japan, was hit by an earthquake, it was the Yakuza who helped them and protect the less-capable people. Then on, it was known that not all Yakuza are violent people but they are people, nonetheless, who have a heart that can reach out to poor people
