Japanese  dragons are a combination of Indian, Chinese and Korean myths and  legends, both in their appearance and their significance. They are  primarily understood as manifestations of water gods, whether the water  is rain, a river, or the sea. Japanese dragons are different than  European dragons mostly due to their lack of wings, though they share  the same long, snakelike bodies of the dragons from European lore.
You  can tell whether a dragon is Japanese, Chinese or Korean by how many  toes it has on its feet. Chinese dragons have five toes, whereas Korean  ones have four toes and Japanese dragons have only three toes. In  Chinese mythology dragons represent wisdom and power. There are nine  kinds of Chinese dragons, and each has a domain or a characteristic  assigned to it -- there are celestial, spiritual, earth, underworld,  horned, winged, coiling and yellow dragons, and the king.
Japanese  dragons mean different things to different people, and tattoo culture  in the modern United States seems to be morphing away from what dragons  represented in traditional Japanese texts, like the Kojiki and Nihongi  that were written all the way back in 7th and 8th century Japan and  earlier. For instance, in modern tattoo parlors, the dragon Ryu is a  Buddhist image of faith, and is considered an immortal.
There  is a dragon god Ryujin, also called Watatsumi in ancient Japanese  myths, but he was not so much an embodiment of faith so much as the  ruler of the oceans. He was also able to change into human form when he  chose to, and there are no references in modern tattoo lore or meanings  or artist's renderings of these creatures becoming human.
Dragon  colors are very important for the meaning of a tattoo. Dragons in this  tradition come in black, red, white, blue and yellow. The colors are  tied to one of the four directions (North, South, East and West), and to  the behaviors of the dragon. Black dragons represent the North, for  example, and create storms when they fight. Red dragons also create  storms when they fight, but they represent the West. Blue dragons hail  from the East and are a manifestation of the season Spring. White  dragons belong to the South, and represent mourning, death or famine and  the eastern dragon god O Goncho. Yellow dragons are actually meant to  be gold dragons and represent the dragon Kinryu. They are linked to no  particular direction and are almost always invisible, until the single  perfect moment, in which they briefly show themselves.
There  are also a number of names and qualities embodied with different dragon  tattoos now. For example, the dragon Fuku Riu is for good luck. He is  usually shown flying up and is supposed to be in a pose of liveliness  and strength. According to our dragon lore, any dragon flying into the  sky mean ascension or success.
