A detailed black and grey Japanese dragon with a katana and swirling clouds.

This tattoo features a traditional Japanese-style design of a fierce dragon intertwined with a katana sword. The dragon's head is prominently displayed with an intense expression, sharp eyes, and an open mouth revealing fangs. Its body is covered in detailed, overlapping scales, and it has flowing whiskers and mane-like tendrils extending from its face. The katana runs diagonally through the design, with a textured handle wrapped in a crisscross pattern and a circular guard. The background includes stylized waves and clouds, adding dynamic movement and depth to the composition. The tattoo is rendered in black and gray shading, emphasizing contrast and intricate line work.
