Tattoos

The bulk of people who e-mail me about dragons often ask me about dragon tattoos, which I try to answer as best I can. To cut back on the questions, I have put together this section to inform people about dragon tattoos.

Question: Can you recomend a good place for dragon tattoos?
Answer: No. While I do have tattoos, I do not know any other tattoo parlors than the one I went to, and I will not recomend places that I have not been. You're best bet at getting a good tattoo is to ask someone you know who has a tattoo where he or she got his or hers. Most tattoo parlors do have dragon tattoos, which they can modify, or can make you one on request.

Question: I want to find a picture of [insert dragon type here] for a tattoo. Can you give me one?
Answer: Chances are, no. The best way to find pictures online is to search for them with a search engine like Google. Another good way is to go to tattoo parlors and look at the pre-made tattoos they have there. Sometimes they'll have what you're looking for or something close enough to it that you can have the artist modify it for you.

Question: I want a dragon tattoo, but all the pictures I have are too detailed to be small. Is there such thing as a small dragon tattoo?
Answer: Yes. I have a small tattoo. Your best bet is to talk to the tattoo artists in the parlor you plan to go to. They may have some samples for you or be able to shrink down a dragon picture for you. If worse comes to worst, you can probably have them do a custom dragon for you that's small.

The following sites have some good examples of dragon tattoos, some of which are on the human bodies. Please note that most tattoo artists want you to have a fully visible picture for your tattoo, which will make the process easier. Please remember that some people have some rather personal places on their body tattooed, and I am not responsible for any of the pictures found on the following sites.

I have two tattoos myself. My first was a red wyvern on my left shoulder (left), which I got on 15 May 2004 at the age of 18. The second one was a purple Ourobors on my right shoulder (right) on 17 August 2007 at the age of 21. I had my designs done by two different tattoo artists--I had some preliminary designs and graphics, and the artists worked off of them.
