Fairy Tattoos and Other Mythological Creatures

Posted by Searcher on 06/23/08 in Society

Tattoos that have to do with mythological creatures are some of the most popular designs around. After all, fairy tales are popular throughout different cultures and inspire the imagination with works of enchantment. Mythological tattoos, such as fairy tattoos are commonly chosen by females while tattoos of dragons are commonly chosen by men. Fierce and fiery dragons from the Japanese or Western culture are commonly seen on backs and shoulders, while women choose the chest, arms or ankle to display fairies, sprites and other similar beings. Depending on the wearer, these tattoos can be quite simple or full of astounding detail.

Another offshoot of this theme is Celtic tattoos with wonderful curves and lines that play into an attractive medieval theme. Both men and woman are known to enjoy these designs with men placing various art on their upper arms while some women opt for these designs as lower back tattoos. Flowers, crosses, birds, names and family shields are all options for those wanting to honor or display their interest in Celtic heritage. Intricate designs can be made with lighter lines for female wearers while males tend to opt for heavy lines and spirals. Classic Celtic motifs such as Celtic knots are known to be popular worldwide.
