What Does a Chinese Dragon Tattoo Symbolize?

Noble and fierce, in Chinese culture, the dragon is symbolic of great power and luck. Tattoos representing this mysterious creature are usually preferred by men, but this doesn’t mean that women cannot wear them when in need of a good luck charm.

Present in many aspects of the Chinese heritage like legends, festivals, astrology, or art, dragons are different from the evil creatures Western stories got us used to. In Chinese folklore, dragons are seen as noble and lucky, and are associated with water. They are thought to live at the bottom of seas, rivers, and lakes, and is why a tattoo representing them should be fluid like their natural element.
