Back Tattoos
The back is the largest area on the body that can get tattooed, they are perfect for a design in mind that you want very big or something with a lot of detail, although not all back tattoos are full pieces, as some choose to get one or more small tattoo on their back, this way there is plenty more room for future tattoos.

Dragon Back Tattoos
The most popular back tattoos to get are dragons, with the most common style being Japanese. Dragons are perfect for back tattoos as the dragon is a big design and can look great anywhere on the body but done on the back can look even better as it creates more room for detail and a full body with other elements tieing the image together to make one great dragon back tattoo.
