There are five-claw emperors, four-claw emperors and three-claw doctors in the Zhou Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, dragons mainly had three claws, sometimes the first three claws and the last two claws. Four-claw dragon became popular in Ming dynasty, and five-claw dragon became popular in Qing dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the folk began to spread the saying that "five claws are dragons and four claws are pythons", which means that the emperor wears dragon robes and other ministers wear embroidered robes.

The meaning of tattoos is consistent with this. At present, tattoo shops are basically three-claw dragons, but some people still want four-claw five-claw dragons. After all, this paw is a symbol of power and status.

Tattoo taboo:

Taboo 1: Don't touch eyes.

The first taboo of tattooed dragons is not to make the finishing point, that is, not to open your eyes, especially not to paint your eyes red, which will bring unnecessary trouble. If you must color the longan, you can choose blue.

Taboo 2: Don't draw.

It's best not to open your wings, that is, don't draw dragons. If you must paint it, then the color you choose must be pure.

Taboo 3: Don't tattoo Sanwuzhaolong.

Many friends of Wen Long don't pay much attention to the number of claws. The most taboo of tattooing dragons is the pattern of tattooing three or five claws. Five claws are emperor claws, which are beyond the ordinary people's endurance. Three-claw represents a connection with the underworld. If you are not a gangster, you'd better not tattoo them. Four-claw dragon pattern represents ordinary claws, and most people will choose four-claw dragon pattern.
