A Dragon Tattoo By Any Other Name...
Origin of the Word "Dragon"
The origin of the word "dragon" has been traced to a Greek word, "derkein," meaning "sharp-sighted one," which appears to describe a snake, so when it was converted to Latin, the word became "draco," or "giant snake."
What a Dragon Tattoo Represents on a Woman
A dragon tattoo on a woman usually acknowledges "woman as the creator." Like the dragons of many mythologies, woman's true body form is that of life, the world and the universe. It is this superior form that allows her to be without equal. Dragon body art also represents a flowing, fluid grace that conceals a reserve of power just beneath the cool surface. Studies have shown that women who get dragon tattoos become more self-confident and assertive.
