In Japan, this is the most popular tattoo design. The Japanese dragon (竜) represents strength, wisdom, blessing, and the force of good. The symbolism is based on the concept that dragons have the ability to manipulate elements for the good of people and the world. Hand-tattooing is required for authentic Japanese tattoos.

A method known as 'Tebori' will be employed by the tattoo artist. Tsubaki or Camellia (椿), is a lovely flower that appears frequently in traditional Japanese patterns. It implies "pure affection," "humility," and "discretion." The Japanese word is written 武 warrior and 竜 Dragon.
