* **Dragon:** Depicted with blue and red scales, its head emerging from the flower and wrapped within the ring. * **Flower:** A large, blooming flower, possibly a peony or lotus, with petals shaded in shades of red, pink and yellow. * **Clouds:** Swirling clouds fill the spaces around the other elements, adding depth and movement to the design. * **Ring:** A prominent, thick yellow ring that encases the dragon * **Lettering:** Japanese kanji at the bottom, adding a cultural element.
**Placement:**
This design would look best on a larger area of the body, such as the back, thigh, or side. The shape is tall and relatively narrow, making it suitable for areas that can accommodate vertical designs.
**Artistic Details:**
The design utilizes bold, clean lines and solid color fills, typical of the Neo-Traditional style. The shading is done with a combination of blending and crosshatching, creating depth and dimension. The artist has paid attention to the flow of the elements, creating a dynamic and visually appealing composition.
**Considerations:**
Before getting this tattoo, consider the meaning of the Japanese lettering, as it will be a prominent part of the design. Discuss with your artist the ideal size and placement, as well as any potential color variations to suit your preferences.
