Just like clothing and fashion, tattoo styles have come and gone throughout the years such as women getting dolphins or fairies a style which looks very passe now.
Daggers and hearts were the order of the day a few decades back amongst bikers and people on the fringes of mainstream culture. Dragon tattoos are also a style of tattoo that has come and gone.
