By far the safest place to pet a dragon, if you don't fully trust them, is to sit on their back and rub their sides

If you trust the dragon not to bite, rubbing their head and snout feels amazing and most will rest their big heavy head in your lap for easier scritching. Some dragons (me) purr during this

If the dragon trusts you they will let you pet their fragile bits, like their tumny. A dragon's underbelly is warm and soft, and you can put your hands together, palms flat against it, and vigorously rub up and down. This is very soothing to the dragon and once they're happy and sleepy you can snuggle up to them and have a nap together.

A dragon's most fragile bits are their wings, and you'll have to be gentle, but they're also very sensitive. A gentle hand running up and down the wing, along the ridge of bone that keeps their shape, and then back over the wing will have the dragon stretching out and crooning in no time.
