Dragonfly Tattoo

While both men and women wear the dragonfly tattoo, it is especially popular amongst women.  For the native Americans the dragonfly appropriately means whirlwind, swiftness and activity.  Other meanings attached to the dragonfly include dreamtime, illusion as well as spring and water.  The dragonfly tattoo is often seen displayed in pairs.

Its aimless darting flight has made the dragonfly a symbol of instability in both China and Japan.  In Japan other interpretations include good luck as well as a sign of good harvest.  So those looking for a good luck tattoo the dragonfly tattoo may be for you.

Dragonfly tattoos are also a great choice if you are searching for a tattoo with lots of color.  Frequently they are displayed with designs of different styles on their wings.  This would also be a suitable tattoo for someone looking for a small discreet tattoo, possibly in some wonderful pastels or in black outline.  As well there are some exceptional larger designs that are very impressive.
