The Chinese dragon tattoo has always been a symbol of power in the East. While Western cultures have often viewed the dragon as something to be feared and hated, the Eastern cultures often have a differing viewpoint. With saliva that was like perfume and a voice like the musical ringing of a copper basin, the Asian dragon was the bearer of profound blessings and was as such heavily identified with by the Chinese. In fact, Chinese people all over the world are affectionately known as "lung de chuan ren", or the "descendants of the dragon". There are several distinct species of Chinese dragons. The Horned Dragon is considered to be the mightiest and here is a representation of the Chinese dragon tattoo. The dragon tattoo is a representation of might, power and divine grace. But, the mystique of the dragon tattoo is not only bound to Chinese tradition. Both Japanese and Chinese lore are filled with stories of creatures, who, through their special quests, at the end of their journeys, were transformed into dragons. In Japan, these were often the stories of Carp who through their perseverance, journeys and struggles, in the end were transformed into dragons. It’s no wonder that the dragon tattoo is such a popular design.
