One of the most common tattoo design seen on women is a dragonfly tattoo. Why is this insect so special?

Is it their beautiful, transparent wings? Or that their body can reflect several colors in emerald green and reds and blues? Or maybe it is because dragonflies are fierce insect warriors and eaters of mosquitos?

Whatever the appeal, these insects are being combined within several tattoo themes. They can be seen with Asian inspired designs. And they are being blended with tattoos of Native American theme. They can also chosen to be included with mystical designs and fantasy art. But is there some meaning behind choosing such a design?

Normally, Asian cultures such as China, Vietnam and Japan all have a high respect for the dragonfly. Often, the Japanese see the dragonfly as a symbol of joy or happiness. They also see it as a symbol of courage and strength. While Japan and China use dragonflies for medical purposes, the Vietnamese occasionally uses these insects to aid in forecasting the weather.

In the indigenous parts of the United States, dragonflies are a symbol of rebirth or a renewal after a great hardship or loss. This is a belief in several Native American cultures. Some of the nations also believe that dragonflies hold the souls of people who have died.

The design of a dragonfly has been used in Hopi, Pueblo, and Zuni pottery, jewelry and artwork. To the Navajo tribe, dragonflies represent pure water. Often, in fact, a dragonfly is being used to symbolize both water and air. This is because these insects begin their life in water and then change into a flying creature when they mature.

Such transformation of a dragonfly from water to air is the reason for the metaphysical or mystical symbolism of the insect. Such qualities make the beautiful insect a symbol of big change. The rising up, achieving of goals, and even death are denoted by these winged creatures. Additionally, dragonflies are connected with growing up and maturity.

Fantasy-wise, mythical stories have even referred to dragonflies as previous dragons.

Many people believe that dragonflies symbolize quickness, invincibility and agility because of the insect’s maneuverability and speed.

No matter what culture you go by, there are still several people who have their own individual idea on what a dragonfly tattoo means. Because dragonflies can be inked with any color you like, the designs work well with both women and men. Whatever reason you have for choosing the design, you must be proud to be represented by such beautiful creature.

Don’t be shy, if you like their work and want a tattoo design from a favored artist, send them an e-mail.

Here is a recent request, that Tiggy the tattoo art creator, recently received…

Hi Tiggy, i recently found out about you on tumblr, and i think your art is absolutely incredible. i was just wondering how much it would cost for a tattoo done by you, like what the minimum would be. And this may seem like a dumb question but have you ever tattooed a black person, because i was wondering would the ink show up on my skin and about maintenance and stuff. Anyways just curious. Hopefully, i have enough money to have you give me a awesome tattoo soon. xx Thanks.

Hey there lovely!

It’s better to email me your questions, tiggytattoos@icloud.com 🙂

However, if you think about tattooing in a similar way to drawing on paper with pencil crayons, imagine how the colours show up on dark paper compared to light paper. It’s totally the same deal when it comes to skin 🙂

I guess it depends on how dark your skin tone is really. Black ink would show up fine, but there wouldn’t be as much contrast between the ink and the skin, if that makes sense?

As another example –
I’m very pale but my skin as a slight olive tone to it. I’ve noticed that my tattoos I have, the blues come up a little more green because they mix with the slight yellowish colour of my skin!

So anyway! If you would like something done, we can discuss your ideas and prices based on that via my email 🙂

Hope I’ve helped xx
