Chinese tattoos seem to be just as popular in the western world as they are in the country they derive from. These are the types of tattoos that you will want to get if you are looking for an extremely meaningful design that also happens to look beautiful in tattoo form. On this page we will take a look at some great Chines tattoos that might interest you.

Since there are so many great Chinese tattoo designs out there, it can be pretty difficult to choose the perfect one. That is why it is vital that you do your research and settle on the design (or designs) that make the most sense for you. Not only should you choose one that attracts your eye, you should also make sure that the meanings that are attached to them actually mean a lot to you. Ideally you will find the perfect mix of looks and meaning.

The Taoist symbol of Yin Yang is called Taijitu in Chinese and is often incorporated with other Chinese tattoos to make dramatic combinations. Much like life, every relation has two aspects and two sides to remain in perfect balance in peace. Followers of eastern spirituality see the yin yang as a symbol of internal balance and being centered. Yin is the female counterpart and the black component, representing earth, life, and harmony. Yang is the white component, symbolizing the male being full of change and chaos, air and day. The unity of these opposites is a common theme in traditional Chinese imagery.

What’s great about the Yin Yang tattoo is that it works well as a small or large design, and it can work just as well as a standalone symbol as it does mixed with other Chinese tattoos. Interestingly, you can use any “opposite” traits that you want it to so it makes sense for who you are, such as love and hate. This is an excellent symbol to get if you are looking for a wrist or ankle tattoo and the meanings work for you.
