Dragon and Phoenix Tattoo

1. Standard Dragon Pheonix Tattoo

Your standard Dragon Phoenix Tattoo is simply just your Dragon on one side and Phoenix on the other.

On their own, a Dragon Tattoo can represent wisdom, strength, and good luck, while a Phoenix Tattoo represents peace, prosperity, and emerging from life challenges stronger than before.

10. Dragon Phoenix Butterfly Tattoo

Butterfly Tattoos symbolize transformation and change, which synergizes excellently with the Phoenix symbolism of rebirth and renewal.

11. Irezumi Dragon Phoenix Tattoo

Irezumi or Yakuza Tattoos are a style of tattoo heavily associated with the Japanese mafia known as the Yakuza.

During the Edo period, criminals were marked with tattoos that identified them and their crimes.

1. Dragon And Phoenix Tattoo On Chest

The chest is the perfect spot to show off your chosen Dragon Phoenix Tattoo Design.

The chest offers a lot of space for men and is a great spot for first-time tattooers, as it has a lot of fat and muscle to dampen the pain.

This location may pose more difficulty for women due to the anatomy of the breast, but a skilled tattoo artist can come up with a design that takes advantage of the shapes to create truly wonderful designs.  

2. Dragon And Phoenix Tattoo On Forearm

Forearm Tattoos are another great place for first-time tattooers and is also a great place to show off your Tattoo Design as often as you like.

This super cool Dragon Phoenix Tattoo has a Dragon on one arm and a Phoenix on the other. 

3. Shoulder Dragon And Phoenix Tattoo

Shoulder Tattoos are also a great choice as the shoulder has a lot of muscle and fat, depending on how muscular you are.

But remember, the closer you get to areas such as the armpit and collarbone, you tend to have less skin, making the pain less tolerable.

4. Hand Dragon And Phoenix Tattoo

Hand Tattoos are among the most painful places to get a tattoo.

There is very little fat or muscle, and because you’re close to bones and tendons, it is going to be painful.

However painful as it may be, the hand is one of the best places to go if you want to show off your Tattoo Design as often as possible. 

5. Dragon And Phoenix Tattoo On Torso

Lastly, the torso is a more unique spot to get your Dragon Phoenix Tattoo.

The sides are quite painful places to get inked, and the closer you move to your stomach, the more painful it will feel.
