Apart from these dragon tattoos there are several other designs that are also becoming very popular in the recent times like tribal dragon tattoos, Celtic dragon tattoos and many more.
Placements
Where you get a tattoo design inked is totally a matter of personal choice. However, there are some most apt and popular placements for each tattoo design. In case of dragon tattoo, shoulders, upper arms, chest, ankles and lower back area are the preferred choice of tattoo enthusiasts.
One can choose any portion depending on their comfort level, size as well as how much visibility they want for their design. For instance, while chest and back areas are perfect for an elaborate dragon tattoo design, the placement is not suitable if you want to flaunt your tattoo most of the times.

Most tribal tattoos are black and dark in color as they can be simplistic but make a large statement when they are chosen to tattoo on the body. Tribal tattoos are a great way to choose a neutral tattoo that can be combined with other designs that may already be present on the body, or designs that are planned for the future.
Tribal tattoos should be placed on the body where they can be bold enough to make a statement about the person that has chosen the tribal tattoo.
