Japanese Dragon Tatoos
The Japanese dragon is one of the most popular mythological creatures picked for a tattoo design. It is usually presented as a wingless, heavily-scaled snake-like creature with small clawed legs and a horned or antlered camel head, and is associated with sea, clouds or the heavens. It is able to make its body expand, and in addition it has the power of transformation and invisibility. This is only a general description, not applying to all Japanese dragons, some of which cannot be compared with anything in the animal kingdom.
