23. Minimalist Dragon Tattoo
A realistic dragon tattoo tends to have a surprising number of scales, and its appearance is truly admirable. However, that doesn’t mean the minimalist style has lost the game.
Oriental dragons may not suit this style, but winged western dragons can be rendered perfectly with minimalist art, and the due details are well preserved.
Like this design, just the right shadow on the wings makes the dragon look incredibly vivid. Affected by the trend, everyone’s current consensus is that minimalist style has been firmly bound to small tattoos. That said, if a mini dragon is what you need, maybe you really should try this style first.
