Tattoo update

So for my tattoos idea, I found out from my grandpa that dragons and tigers are supposed to symbolize higher beings and kings but the dragon is higher up than the tiger. Thats why all of the Yakuza or gangsters in asia have dragons tattooed on themselves rather than a dragon. I dont know if anyone actually reads these, but my grandpa, back in korea, was kind of like a good gangster in a way? All of the gangs back in the day wanted to fight my grandpa because when he was younger, he was this martial arts master and a Grand Master of Judo. And its almost like an old school mafia movie (maybe not mafia but gangster movie?) because people would hire my grandpa to protect them, like one of the politicians that is running for president in korea was one of my grandpas underlings and oh my gosh I think its so cool!
And my grandpa was one of the really sporty jocky guys that excelled in every sport and he even taught at the korean police academy for combat and judo because the korean police usually use judo or train judo. I also think its so cool because a lot of my grandpas underlings are really famous important people today. I cant believe my sweet grandpa was like a gangster back in the day.
 Like guys would fight my grandpa with knives and crowbars and he recently told me his whole story and it really makes me want to create something to i dont know, symbolize of pay homage to his whole life and how hard it was and eventful.
Haha watch, I'm telling this whole story and no ones going to read it. Eh its fine I guess.
But i want to have a mix between the korean flag and a dragon because obviously my grandpa loves his home country and in a way hes like a dragon. He was the leader of his group and a dragon in his groups eyes and in my eyes also.
Here are some of the inspirations for the dragon and possibly a tiger:
