This Japanese dragon tattoo, done in a vibrant mix of green, orange, and red, stretches across a man's entire stomach. TremUno from Leipzig did the work, with the dragon's scales rendered in various shades of green and its belly in orange. Red flames and accents are visible around the head and body.
This tattoo was approximately €700. Prices for tattoos vary depending on factors such as the complexity and size of the motif, the level of detail, the placement on the body, and the artist's experience. For a precise quote, direct consultation with the artist is always the best approach.
The dragon motif carries significant cultural weight in Japanese tradition, often representing strength, wisdom, good fortune, and protection. Unlike their Western counterparts, Japanese dragons are typically benevolent beings associated with water and rain, symbolizing power over natural forces. They are also seen as guardians of sacred places and treasures. The depiction of a dragon often includes specific characteristics like three claws (for Japanese dragons, four for Chinese, five for imperial Chinese), a serpentine body, and a wise facial expression.
The tattoo incorporates elements of both Japanese and Traditional Oldschool styles. Japanese tattooing, or Irezumi, is known for its large-scale designs, flowing compositions, and motifs drawn from mythology, folklore, and nature. It often features strong outlines and a limited but impactful color palette. Traditional Oldschool tattooing, sometimes called American Traditional, is characterized by bold black outlines, a restricted color palette (typically red, green, yellow, and blue), and iconic imagery like anchors, swallows, and hearts. The style emphasizes clear readability and durability over intricate detail.
