Tribal Cross Tattoos

Tribal tattoos themselves are the most popular type of tattoos in the world and they have many styles and designs you can choose from, one of them being tribal cross tattoos. These tattoos, like Christian crosses, also represent Christianity. The difference between the two is that tribal cross tattoos are commonly completely black and filled in, and instead of being shrouded in religious symbolism, are often designed with more of a stylish design in mind. Sometimes, tribal crosses may only slightly resemble the cross, and may be surrounded by various other tribal styled designs that may outline or connect to the cross itself.

Tribal cross tattoo designs are usually tattooed on arms, chest and back.

Chinese Dragon Tattoos

The dragon is a hugely important piece of Chinese culture and mythology. The dragon symbolizes power, mystery and authority. It is said that the dragon was so fierce (yet merciful), that  we as humans had no choice but to worship it as a divine creature. In Chinese culture the dragon has been celebrated for its benevolent nature, and has been touted for its kind spirit. Chinese individuals are often referred to as “Lung Tik Chuan Ren“, which translates directly to “descendants of the dragon”. This shows how revered the dragon was and still is in Chinese culture. There are several different types of dragons that are commonly referenced in Chinese folklore. These types of dragons include:

  • The Horned Dragon: Considered to be the strongest, and most fierce of all species of dragon. Horned dragons were often depicted as great warriors, who fought for the good of mankind. However, in some stories, the Horned Dragon was also depicted as a lone warrior of sorts, that bowed to no one and fought its own battles.
  • The Earth Dragon: The Earth Dragon was said to protect the Earth from harm and wrongdoing.
  • The Celestial Dragon: The Celestial Dragon was said to protect the heavens and even the gods themselves from harm from darker beings and spirits.
  • The Treasure Dragon: The Treasure dragon was said to protect all of the priceless jewels and treasures around the world, and to ensure that these items do not fall into the wrong hands.
  • The Ocean Dragon: The Ocean Dragon was said to dwell in the seas and protect them.
  • The Yellow Dragon: Known for its vast intelligence, the Yellow Dragon was depicted as an all-knowing creature.

Cherry Blossom Tattoos

Cherry blossom tattoos currently belong to some of the most popular tattoo designs for women. Cherry blossom is very beautiful which makes it perfect choice for a tattoo design. In both Japanese and Chinese cultures the cherry blossom have symbolic meaning. Many people fail to understand and confuse the Japanese and Chinese culture, but it is important to understand that these two cultures are different, and therefore the meaning and symbolism that the cherry blossom holds is different in each culture.

In Japanese culture the cherry blossom symbolizes the brevity of life, because this flower blooms for a very short period of time. This means for example that cherry blossom tattoo design could remind you that nothing lasts forever, all things pass in time and that even bad situations won’t last forever.

In Chinese culture the cherry blossom is a very symbol that represents power. Typically it can stand for a feminine beauty and sexuality and often holds an idea of power or feminine dominance.
