Dragon Flower Tattoo Meaning

With an estimated 250,000 to 400,000 species of flower in the world, there really is no shortage of symbolism and meaning you can have with your Dragon Flower Tattoo.

But also there are several different Dragon types based on different cultures throughout the world that will determine the meaning also. 

Dragon Tattoos can vary in symbolism with themes of protection, guidance, strength, power, nobility, wisdom, and many others.

So, combining your Dragon with a Flower Tattoo can emphasize both their meanings by choosing synergistic symbolism.

Thigh Tattoos are great for the added lair of sex appeal.

Unfortunately, if you want to show off your thigh tattoo as often as possible, you will either need to live in a hot country where you can wear shorts that are short enough to see the entire design or go to the beach or poolside often.

The thigh is also a great place to get inked, particularly for first-time tattooers, as the thigh has a lot of fat and muscle that can help dampen pain. 

3. Dragon Flower Tattoo On Chest
