Most dragon tattoos show the entire dragon&#8217;s body, but by focusing only on the mythical creature&#8217;s face, Marangoni has created more personality for the character. Learn more about the history and meaning of dragon tattoos in this article; <a href=\"http:\/\/rattatattoo.com\/dragon-tattoo-designs-for-guys-and-girls\/\">Dragon Tattoos Designs for Guys and Girls<\/a><br \/>\nTo give the dragon tattoo depth and shading, Gregorio Marangoni has used a tattoo technique that is often referred to either as dotwork, dot work or pointillism. The artist builds up shading in the design by clustering dots in an area. The more tattoo dots there are in one area, the darker the shade.
