Dragon tattoos

Dragons, inked in meaning

Few symbols stir the imagination quite like dragons. Majestic, untamed, and ancient, they’ve soared through mythologies for centuries, leaving trails of wonder wherever they go. At Temporalis®, our dragon tattoos collection pays homage to these fire-breathing icons—combining artistry, story, and symbolism in every design.

Whether you're drawn to their fierce elegance or the spiritual aura they carry, these temporary tattoos invite you to embody something bold—without the lifelong commitment.

The styles beneath the scales

From swirling Asian curls to hard-edged tribal silhouettes, dragon ink tells a different tale each time it wraps against skin. Here are just a few of the styles waiting to spark your imagination:

• Japanese dragons—Lengthy and graceful, these creatures slither across the skin with coiled energy. Their origin speaks of sea gods and sky guardians, perfect for a statement piece down your spine or thigh.
• Celtic dragons—Knotted within ancient patterns, these designs guard sacred space and ancestral roots. Curved lines draw across chests, shoulders or biceps like living folklore etched into flesh.
• Chinese dragons—Symbols of fortune and prosperity, they dance through clouds with their feathered brows and pearl-eyed focus. Wrap one around your forearm or shoulder and wear luck with quiet power.
• Tribal dragons—Minimalist yet primal, these beasts are all angles and bold black ink. A favourite for wrists, ankles or lower backs—anywhere you want quiet strength to speak loud.

More than ink: what dragons carry

Every dragon has a story, and sometimes, so do the ones who wear them. These tattoos aren’t just designs—they’re declarations. A journey survived. A strength awakened. An untamed spark inside you.

Especially for women, dragons can represent inner balance between grace and grit. If you’ve ever felt underestimated or overlooked, a dragon tattoo says: I see your fire—and I wear mine too.

Where should your dragon fly?

Placement transforms everything. A sinuous dragon tattoo along your ribcage tells a softer story than one fighting across your forearm. For something intimate, try a small-scale version in the crook of your neck or inside your wrist. Or go big, backpiece style—let the world know your wingspan.

If you're mixing themes, dragons pair fiercely with designs like phoenix or mermaid tattoos, blending fire and fantasy. There’s real alchemy in combining temp tattoos that play off myth and mystery.

Wear it your way 🐉

Our dragon tattoos are not only striking—they’re made for skin-loving wear. Every piece is vegan, waterproof, and EU-certified, meaning you can move freely without worry. From festivals to casual daydreaming in a café, your dragon stays with you—until you're ready to shed its skin.

The last ember

Whether you're marking a milestone, expressing your energy, or simply trying on the wings of a mythic beast, dragon tattoos offer more than style. They offer story. Style. And a little something unknowable.

So go ahead, let your dragon speak. No roaring required.
