Talking about 3-D, there is no better way to do this than with the help of some black. The more the contrast, the better, and this is best seen in this tattoo idea. But what’s amazing is that instead of the ferocious, terrifying beast, this detailed black tattoo sports a comic dragon’s face. After all, ever dragon isn’t scary!
The beast, here, is as ferocious as it can get. The reddish-brown hue of the wings serves as the perfect contrast for the shaded black dragon. The detailed, realistic drawing is what makes this a great idea for dragon tattoos. Moreover, framing of the dragon in a Celtic design at the top, and a rocky edge at the bottom ensure that all eyes are drawn to the supernatural creature.
You can almost hear the roar of the dragon when looking at this wonder. Entirely in black, it takes up the whole back. The shaded designs as well as the clear contrast meant to bring the tattoo to life does just that. You will be left waiting for him to shoot fire – the sparks are already on the tongue!
Another reminder of the more happier dragon, this shaded black tattoo depicts the balance of nature. The Japanese inscription and the cherry blossoms give the surreal creature a sense of peace and harmony.
