Japanese Tattoo Dragon Symbolism

Oriental dragons are equally “live” in the air or in the water. Symbolising wisdom, strength and manipulating the forces of the universe for the benefit of people.

Often dragon can clutch in one of his claws an object – a ball, a pearl, or a jewel, known as “the closed-lotus form” – the essence of the universe, in order to control the winds, rains, fire and even the planets. It represents the spiritual essence of the universe, by which the dragon controls and protects it from those who might usurp those powers.

In the world of tattoos, the Japanese irezumi style is known for its intricate designs, bold colors, and deep symbolism. One popular motif in this style is the blue octopus and cherry blossoms, often seen in full sleeve tattoos. This combination of elements holds significant meaning in Japanese traditions and culture. The blue octopus Known as "tako" in Japanese, is a powerful symbol of intelligence, adaptability, and mystery. In Japanese folklore, the octopus is also associated with transformation and regeneration due to its ability to regenerate its limbs. This creature is often seen as a guardian and protector, representing strength and resilience. Cherry Blossoms  On the other hand, cherry blossoms, or "sakura" in Japanese, are a well-known symbol of beauty, impermanence, and the transient nature of life. These delicate flowers bloom for a short period of time before falling to the ground, reminding us of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present moment.
