Shenron is not only a massive dragon that could destroy anything and anyone in its path, Shenron also has the ability to grant wishes to those who summon him. Shenron resides in the middle of Earths core, he stays there hibernating until awoken. Once all seven of the Dragon Balls are found, Shenron emerges from the center of the Earth to grant the master just one wish. With this one wish, anything is possible. Resurrecting those who have fallen has been a popular wish amongst the Dragon Ball Z characters, although the wish cannot exceed the limits of Shenron’s creator’s powers and nobody can be brought back to life twice. A wish to rule the world and become king of Earth is another wish that has been granted. An idea for the Shenron tattoo would be to have him surrounded by all seven of the Dragon Balls. This gives the effect that the Dragon was just summoned and has appeared on the individuals body.

You already have a tattoo of Shenron but want another? Although Shenron the green scaled dragon is one of the most popular dragons and characters in the series, there are also other dragon types that roam the world of Dragon Ball Z. The ‘Black Smoke Shenron’ is basically the opposite of the friendly wish granting dragon Shenron. Whereas Shenron spoke politely and was well mannered, Black Smoke Shenron is full of negativity, hate, and remorse. The Black Smoke Shenron is considered an ‘evil dragon’. Evil dragons are very dangerous because they have the ability to destroy planets and wipe out all the stars in a galaxy. Black Smoke Shenron has wings and smokes big cigars, refusing to grant anyone wishes, laughing in their face when asked for one. Getting a Shenron tattoo on one arm perhaps and the Black Smoke Shenron on the other is a way of saying that there is both good and negative forces in the world. Like Yin and Yang, it shows the balance of energies. If you want both these dragons but do not want or have enough room for one on each arm, an image of the two Shenron dragons battling it out is another neat and flashy concept.
