What does a green dragon tattoo represent, and a black panther tattoo represent.?

• What do they mean, what is the history behind them.

• Answer:

  A Dragon Tattoo By Any Other Name… Ormr. Ddraig. Dreigiaw. Derkein. Derkomai. Drakon. Draca. Draco. Dragon. Despite the language of the name given them, dragons inhabit the myth and legends of most ancient and modern cultures and have been portrayed throughout history as magical creatures possessing raw power and mystical might. This is the allure of the dragon tattoo design. No other tattoo art or tattoo design makes as distinctive and commanding an individual statement than a dragon tattoo. Dragon tattoos also have the added advantage of being so fluid that they can conform to and flatter the contours of any part of the body. Many hardcore tattoo addicts have even gotten dragon designs whose tail begins at one ankle and winds its way up the leg and torso with the dragon's head finally resting on the chest. Dragons can even coil themselves into intricate full and half sleeve tattoos, and a dragon in flight with its wings spread makes an excellent lower back tattoo. PANTHER TATTOOS: The Black Panther tattoo is a sign of power and can be intimidating to the general Asian public. It has been a common tattoo for Asian gang members. Some of the panthers will have a single red nail on the paw. This shows a willingness to kill, or could indicate they have already killed. It has been found on the arms, chest and shoulders and with the four T's. TIGER TATTOOS: Like the Panther, the tiger is also a sign of power or strength. It has been found on the arm, chest, back and shoulders. It has not been consistently found on any particular gang. DRAGON TATTOOS: This is a very common Asian tattoo, not only with gang members, but also with non-gang members. Dragons are a sign of power and can indicate martial art skills. The dragon is also in the Asian culture. The tattoo has been found on Black Dragon gang members, but not exclusive to them.
