Vicky's Dragon Tattoo

For his first tattoo, Vicky decided to get a dragon tattoo.

There are a few reasons why he chose to get said tattoo, the main one being that he was born in the Year of the Dragon i.e. 1976

In the Chinese zodiac, people who are born in the Year of the Dragon are simply considered more powerful and lucky than anyone else. They naturally attract attention, are used to finishing first, and have the self-confidence and ego that go along with their tendency to do things on a grand scale. Endowed with tremendous energy, intelligence, and talent, Dragon people enjoy the attention but can also have a helpful and charitable side as well.

There are many many different depictions of dragons, with the Western ones looking like giant lizards with long tails and a pair of wings, while the Eastern ones often have no wings.

He also used to be part of a 'gang' and back then it was very popular for gang members to have Dragon tatts on their bodies, especially on their backs. It was used in this context to portray ferocity and power.

Of course since then Vicky has wisened-up :p


The tattoo was done back in 2002 (and it still looks really good!) in Two-Thumbs Tattoo Studio in Sungei Wang Plaza which, if i'm not mistaken, has moved to the following location :
