When I was in high school chinese character tatoos were very popular. Everyone wanted one and they brought a lot of attention. People were constantly asking what it meant, most of the time it was either love, prosperity, or some animal.
The Chinese dragon is the most popular tattoo design in the world. Many people choose a Chinese dragon tattoo that has a picture of a dragon along with the symbol. Interestingly, it is considered extremely unlucky to have a picture of a dragon tattooed on your body. The symbol for dragon, however, is considered extremely lucky. Apparently, in ancient China it was forbidden to engrave the likeness of living creatures on the body.
Zug.com explains that in Chinese culture, the dragon is a benevolent helper of mankind. This could explain why people who choose the dragon tattoo symbol find themselves the recipients of many gifts of the universe, including love, luck, health, wealth, well-being, success, sexual stamina, good parking spaces, and protection from evil spirits.
The other popular Chinese tattoos are love, strength, family, and zodiac.
