Description
This is a design I made for a friend that he will soon be getting a tattoo of. It is my take on an ancient symbol called the Ouroboros. Traditionally this symbol is depicted as a snake eating it's own tale (commonly symbolizing eternity) but different cultures also depict a dragon instead of a snake.
My design shows one dragon (flesh) eating another dragon (bones) giving it a yin/yang feel while also representing life and death. I'll post a picture of the tattoo on my friend as soon as he gets it.

I found your drawing in a google search and used it as a model to make my own. Unfortunately I'm not creative enough to come up with designs but I enjoy the practice. I posted a picture of my drawing on my facebook page, and gave you credit for the original, posting a link to this page. I didn't think to come to this page until after I'd posted it. I hope it's okay with you :/ I really love this. It is an amazing piece of art and I hope everyone who sees my drawing comes to this page to view the real art.

I want to use your beautiful drawing as one of my tattoos if you give me your permission...

Can I use this design for my own tattoo as well? Right now this is the absolute best ouroboros design I've seen.

Yes but on one condition. Everyone asks me to use it and I give them permission asking if they can send a pic of the finished product but no one ever does. So...you can use my design for your tattoo as long as I get a pic back of the finished product. Deal?

Surely! It will take a while though, since I'm not entirely sure when I'll get it. Instead of how it looks now, would you mind if I instead wrapped it around the circumference of my leg? I'm not sure if that counts as changing the design, but I just want to make sure. Thank you so much! (And sorry for the late reply, I totally forgot I left a comment).

Hey I like this, it's one of the best deviations I've seen of the Ouroboros. Would you allow me to do a take on it for an art project, I'm not going to post it on the internet it's just for personal use. Thanks a lot if that's possible.
