It's a very popular tatoo amongst the West Hollywood crowd. It means "Of two men who Love each other I'm on bottom".

If it's not an artistic way of writing dragon, then what is it?

I would never get a chinese/japanese tatoo cause if i dont know what it means there's a chance it could actually say something like i have anal warts
