Floral & Botanical dragon tattoo
East or West, the dragon is power incarnate. Japanese dragons flow with the body over full sleeves; Western dragons bring medieval menace to backs and chests. In Floral & Botanical, that reads as: the garden, engraved.

Scientific-illustration botanicals: accurate stems, leaves and blooms rendered with etching-style detail. Botanical work differs from generic "flower tattoos" in its accuracy — a peony reads as a peony. It flatters every placement, wraps limbs naturally, and pairs with fine line or dotwork shading.
A dragon carries power & wisdom, protection, good fortune (east) — and Floral & Botanical's accurate flora give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the full sleeve, back, ribs.
