Chinese Dragon Tattoo
Usually, the Chinese tattoo artwork which I notice depict large, red-colored dragons leaping on clouds drawn across the back of men (these days even on ladies) and Chinese mafia or gangs. You’d hardly ever see “good” Chinese guys having fierce tattoos. From the movies, it is usually the bad man with that stiff upper lip and piercings on every pierce-able body part who, before a big one-on-one fight with the good guy, takes off his clothing after which the video camera zooms in on his large tattoo. The nice guy becomes distracted; bad guy grunts, and the fight is on.
Chinese Dragons
For years and years, the Chinese dragon has been a symbol of strength and mystery. Depicted in countless stories, both Far eastern and Western, the dragon has provoked man to fear and worship it. In middle ages Europe, it absolutely was a bloodthirsty, fire-breathing figure. Its malevolence and ferociousness struck terror in all. Nevertheless, in Asian countries, it really is the contrary. The great dragon is really a mythic beast long famous because of its benevolence, intelligence and nice will. The Chinese dragon is a typical symbol of identity for Far Eastern cultures.
Actually, Chinese persons around the globe are affectionately generally known as “long de chuan ren”, or perhaps the “descendants of the dragon”. There are many unique species of Chinese dragons. The Horned Dragon is regarded as to be the mightiest. The Celestial Dragon helps the heavens and guards the Gods. The Planet Dragon rules every one of the earth. The Spiritual Dragon handles the blowing wind and rainfall. The Treasure Dragon may be the keeper of precious metals and jewels. The Winged Dragon may be the only dragon with wings. The Coiling Dragon dwells inside the ocean. The Yellow Dragon is known as a hornless dragon known because of its scholarly knowledge.

Tattooing was legalized by the occupation forces in 1945, but has retained its image of criminality. For many years, traditional Japanese tattoos were associated with the yakuza, Japan's notorious mafia, and many businesses in Japan (such as public baths, fitness centers and hot springs) still ban customers with tattoos.
Tattooing and other forms of body decoration and body modification, as in much of the western world, are gaining in popularity in Japan. However, Japanese young people who choose to get tattooed are most often choosing "one point" designs -- small designs that can be completed in one sitting -- usually in the American or tribal styles. More recently, however sanskrit Siddham script tattoos are becoming more and more fashionable.
Traditional irezumi is still done by specialist tattooists, but it is painful, time-consuming and expensive: a typical traditional body suit (covering the arms, back, upper legs and chest, but leaving an untattooed space down the center of the body) can take one to five years of weekly visits to complete and cost in excess of US$30,000.
