What Does A Bearded Dragon Tattoo Mean
Like most tattoos, a Bearded Dragon Tattoo’s meaning is derived from the characteristics of the subject itself.

With its ability to puff up its throat and appear larger than it is to ward off predators, this can also symbolize self-protection and a warrior’s spirit.

Where To Get Your Bearded Dragon Tattoo
Design is one thing, but next, you need to consider where you get your new Bearded Dragon Tattoo. So, let’s take a look at some of the best places for your potential new ink.
1. Bearded Dragon Tattoo On Arm
Where better to start your Bearded Dragon Tattoo than with the arm? Possibly one of the most common places for first-timers to get inked, the arm offers the ability to show off and hide your design if need be. It is also one of the least painful places to get inked, making it one of the most comfortable locations to go for a tattoo.
2. Forearm Bearded Dragon Tattoo
Like the arm, the forearm is a great place if you want to show off your little lizard frequently. This location is even easier to show off frequently, as it is as simple as rolling up your sleeve and concealing it by rolling it down.
3. Bearded Dragon Tattoo On Shoulder
While not as easily shown off, the shoulder is one of the least painful places to get tattooed. This is due to the amount of muscle that will help to dampen the pain. This super cool Blue Bearded Dragon Tattoo runs from the tricep, over the shoulder and finishes just about the shoulder blade.
4. Bearded Dragon Tattoo On The Side
A somewhat unique spot for your Bearded Dragon Tattoo, the side is a really cool place to get your ink, particularly if you wear crop tops often. Just keep in mind that the closer you are to your rib cage and stomach, the more painful this location will be.
5. Leg Bearded Dragon Tattoo
Lastly, the leg is another cool spot for your Bearded Dragon Tattoo, but one you will need to take careful consideration of. The upper thigh is the least painful place on the leg to get inked. However, places like just behind the knee or on the knee will be extremely unpleasant, so choose your design wisely.
