Question QUESTION: I want to get a tattoo around a portait of my parents and want to border it with a dragon that symboizes protection.
can you suggest a picture or wot coloour thay are?
ANSWER: Leeane-
This is not really a question I can answer. There are so many different kinds of dragons from around the world, each with different meanings, attributes and body features as well as colors.
I am not a dragon expert so I recommend you do some research and narrow down the style (Chinese, English, European, etc,) and see which works for you both visually and meaning. Because this is a mythical creature, anything goes- you may even have one made just for you.
good luck

QUESTION: in reponse to you answer i was looking along the lines of and English dragon in a circular posture big enough to put a protait in the middle of it. and wot colour would symbolize protection?
Answer Leeane-
As I said, I'm not a dragon expert or even a color expert. I'd recommend you find someone (not necessarily a tattoo artist) who is more versed in dragon lore to help decide color. You might even look for someone who specializes in color symbolism/theory.
