Flying dragon and crescent moon temporary tattoo

This dotwork dragon and crescent moon temporary tattoo combines mythical symbolism with intricate texture. The M-Long format (under 10x25cm, roughly envelope-sized) pairs a detailed dragon silhouette with lunar elements, using thousands of individual dots to create depth and shading.

The dotwork technique builds gradients through point density rather than solid lines, creating a hand-stippled aesthetic that mimics traditional tattoo methods. The dragon's scales and the moon's surface emerge from clustered dots, while negative space defines the forms. This approach differs from bold tribal designs or smooth realistic renderings, offering a textured middle ground.

Our jagua ink penetrates the skin's surface layer for a matte finish that resists water and friction, unlike synthetic transfers that sit on top and fade quickly. This plant-based formula lasts 10 to 15 days compared to 3 to 5 days for standard stickers, and develops gradually over 24 to 48 hours for an authentic appearance.

The elongated shape works well along the forearm from wrist to inner elbow, down the outer calf, or vertically along the ribcage. The vertical orientation also fits the spine or along the thigh. Good option if you're testing a larger dragon design before committing to permanent ink.

Suitable for those drawn to mythical creatures, lunar symbolism, or protective imagery. The dragon represents strength and wisdom in many traditions, while the crescent moon connects to cycles and transformation. Ideal if you want a detailed design with spiritual resonance without permanent commitment.
