Body Dragon Tattoos

Dragon Tattoo Art - Finding Printable Designs For Your Dragon Tattoos
By Peter Brat



Dragon tattoo art has been one of the most sought after designs especially among male tat enthusiasts. The creature, although mythical and non-existent has strong symbolism attached to it, not to mention the artistic appeal it has when inked on one's body.



Dragon tattoos can represent two different meanings depending on how they are portrayed. In the West, they are regarded as an evil and mean winged creature who breathes fire and guards caves with golds and jewels. Those who want to get these treasures have to slay the dragon first. In this case, dragon tattoos can mean fearless, power, courage and strong will.



The other symbolism of dragon tattoo art is good luck, fortune and wisdom as how they are look upon in the East. In China, they are the main symbol during the celebration of Chinese New Year as they are believed to bring prosperity, benevolence and good will. As a tattoo design, they can mean intelligence, protection, balance and harmony.



Dragon tattoo designs are very adaptable and flexible body art and looks great on large areas of the body such as the arm, rib cage, chest, back and shoulder blade. They can be seen inked in colors such as red and green while others opt for the plain black ink with some tribal touch. They can be portrayed as terrifying or monster-like, charming and kind and even small and innocent. It all depends on what kind of message the person sporting the tattoo wants to portray.

Back Dragon Tattoos

Back of Neck Tattoos - Easily Find the Big, High Quality Galleries



You won't have to weed through a bunch of generic back of neck tattoos any more. I know that you're tired of staring at 100's of pages of cookie cutter design choices and I would, too, because that awful artwork is hideous to look at. If you allow yourself to make one very minor change to how you look for back of neck tattoos, you can open up a brand new door to fresh, very high quality artwork galleries.



This is a must for most people, because human nature is to settle for what you see the most of. If you're looking at tons of generic designs, there's a fairly strong chance that you'll end up getting tattooed with something just as generic. The bad part about this is that 99% of all people regret putting that kind of tattoo art on themselves in a couple of months. By that time, it's too late, though. So, why does everybody get locked into such horrible collections of back of neck tattoos? Well, this is very simple to spot. It's because everybody keeps attempting to find artwork galleries by using search engines.



This is a big no-no, because you have a very slim chance of locating any of the better and higher quality artwork sites in their lists. It's almost like they've all mysteriously disappeared, never to be shown again. All search engines do is throw some random list of every generic laced gallery out there right now. You don't want to waste hours and hours scanning those worthless back of neck tattoos, so let me share a sneaky trick for getting directly to the better artwork: Use big forums to your advantage.



It might seem like something small, but it'll make a huge difference in the originality and quality of the artwork you get to pick from and surf through. Big forums have enormous archive sections, which are usually filled to the top with past topics about tattoo art. Just hop inside of a couple big topics and have some fun skimming them, because you won't believe how many names and links to superb galleries have been shared by other tattoo enthusiasts. It's your one stop source for directions to collections of back of neck tattoos that are far superior to the generic junk out there right now. It's just makes sense.


The Hollywood Vlog - Buffy #29, Angel #26, and Exurbia Reviewed

One of the things I wanted to do while in LA was do it up, vlog style, in a place that was not my bathtub. Thankfully, Ivan and Michelle had a great, cheesy idea for the perfect external location. Big thanks to Ivan for really going above and beyond. The vlog has never looked so good. Editing, effects, all shot in widescreen and glorious high definition. It'll be kind of rough going back to my usual, porcelain locale next month. For now, though, enjoy!



The two comic shops I visited were The Secret Headquarters and Meltdown Comics. Definitely check them out.

Aztec Tattoo Design - Locating Superb Artwork Online
By Adam Woodham

I bet that you can spend a goof fifteen minutes looking for an Aztec tattoo design and come up with a bunch of them. That's not the issue most men and women are having. The problem is that they are finding nothing but bland, generic images that have no right being used as real tattoos. This happens a lot for most people who use search-engines, too. Here are simple tips to help you actually find the truly superb artwork out there.



I don't want to come across like I am telling you that you should never use a search-engine again. They are actually the best tools out there for fining just about anything in a heart beat. They just aren't very good at showing you where the galleries are that will have a fantastic Aztec tattoo design, though. As a matter of fact, they aren't good for finding any kind of tattoos.



All that seems to pull up are the low end, generic galleries that have nothing but old cookie cutter type of Aztec tattoo design for you to look at. If you like cookie cutter designs that are probably tattooed on a hundred different people already, then this might be right up your alley. The reason they are probably tattooed on a hundred other people is because the same image you see at one gallery you find on a search engines is going to be on fifty other websites already. They all just gather up the same artwork as the next place and plaster them on their pages. That's not the kind of Aztec tattoo design you want to settle for.



Ok, enough of that. Let's see how you can find a truly superb Aztec tattoo design with ease...



There is no need to go out and reinvent the wheel and you don't need to go into any dark corners of the internet to find a good Aztec tattoo design. Everything you could possibly want (links!) are located in internet forums. Tattoos are a huge subject in most forums on the web. This is the exact reason they are such a great tool for finding the great galleries of tattoos. People post all of the links that they have found to the various hidden galleries out there.



Nine times out of ten, they will be far superior to anything you locate on the first page of search results. These are the galleries that tend to have the perfect Aztec tattoo design that hasn't been posted all over the internet and back. It's an efficient and easy way to find so much of the quality artwork that you've been missing out on.

Eminem: Closet Buffy fan? Or How Dawn Became a Back Up Singer

I never thought I'd ever have a reason to put the names Dawn Summers and Eminem in the same sentence...until now. As most things in our lives, all roads seem to lead to Buffy and Eminem's new album is no different. It's not a perfect match, but I wouldn't be surprised if Eminem used "Once More, With Feeling" as his muse during his creative process. Take a listen:

Asian Dragon Tattoos

Asian Dragon Tattoos - Unleash Your Dragon
By Mike K.

What you should know before you get any Asian dragon tattoos:

A brief overview to help you make a better guided decision when it comes to choosing your design.

Dragons have long been important figures in Asian culture. The most commonly known Asian dragons include those from Japan and China, Korea, and Indonesia. Differences among the Asian dragons are minor. For example, Japanese dragons traditionally have five claws, where as in Chinese culture five clawed dragons were reserved for emperors, with four claws being the norm. Personally, my favourite are the Japanese dragons. I like them because of their long
"whiskers" and jewel on their chin.

Asian dragons are distinct from their Western counterparts in that in Western culture they are viewed as pure evil whereas in Asian culture they are connected to the emperors and imperial families and are highly respected creatures.

Asian Dragon Tattoos are very popular today due to their rich diversity in design and meaning. These creatures can symbolize guardianship, freedom, wisdom, and empowerment. A unique idea is having a design in which the dragon is breathing out a flame which spells a lovers name or initials, or something similar. In this case, the dragon represents the "fire within", which could symbolize a burning passion for someone or something.
