Since you are considering a Dragon Ball Z piece and the show is a cartoon, with very bright and colorful animations, it would be a wise decision to think over if you would like this graphic to be colored in or kept simple with just the black ink. Having tattoos that are all black and white ink seem to really blend in with each other, not really pleasing the eye. Since Shenron is such a mighty character through the entirety of this anime, paying tribute properly with a little color will make the tattoo really jump out and call for attention. Green, yellow, red, and a fiery orange are primary colors for this creature.

Since you have your basic idea set up for this dragon tattoo, adding a back drop and scene to support the character will add a little ambience. Some fans even go as far to make an entire Shenron and Dragon Ball Z sleeve, dedicating one of their arms to the show they love. Themed sleeves can amount to whatever you like about the program. A popular themed Dragon Ball Z tattoo could depict Shenron the dragon as a sort of centerpiece since he is the largest character in the show, having the other popular characters such as Goku the Super Saiyan and Piccolo, are other characters that would go along well with Shenron. Since Goku and Piccolo have both been affected by Shenron, it only makes sense. Goku was brought back to life due to a wish that was granted for him and an army of others to be resurrected ready to fight against other evil entities. Piccolo once summoned Shenron as well, being granted the wish of eternal youth.

The Shenron tattoo unlike most dragon tattoos, will always be recognized by fans. This tattoo is a great conversation piece and adds room to make friendships as well with other fans. So, whether you want to show off your Dragon Ball Z pride with a graphic of the legendary dragon, or multiple graphics of the different Shenron dragon types, it is a fantastic concept no matter what!
