Smaug is a beautiful copper-red elongated dragon, one of the stars of The Hobbit. Although it does not appear until near the end, it is actually the reason why Bilbo Baggins and the thirteen dwarves leave the Shire: 150 years before the novel, the dragon conquered the dwarf kingdom below Lonely Mountain and kept all its treasure.
Like a cat that takes off the blanket but doesn't cover itself with it, Smaug makes the croquette on top of the treasure without spending a penny. When Bilbo arrives, ready to help (reluctantly) the dwarves to regain their land and treasure, poor Smaug's fate turns upside down ... but we're not going to gut anything, if you want to know the end you'll have to read the book.

Dragon tattoos have a lot of different options that you can draw inspiration from: from very realistic designs to simpler ones, colorful or in black and white, fun or realistic ... dragons give a lot of themselves.
In the case of Smaug, you have two different possibilities: in the first case, follow the delicate illustrations of The Hobbit made by Tolkien himself, showing him as the lanky and graceful dragon we discussed earlier. On the other hand, You can opt for a more realistic design, based, for example, on the movies of The Hobbit (Although unfortunately they don't do the book any justice). In any case, in addition to the color and its shape, one of the elements that most distinguishes Smaug is its treasure, which you can take advantage of for your design.
