Dolphins are part of the most popular tattoo ideas amongst people. Having been a part of modern art and also ancient historical drawings, dolphins are a part of body art designs all over the world.

They have been a symbol of good luck since ancient times and many people get these tattoos on their bodies for this sole reason. They are often used inside a complex combination of symbols by people for many reasons.

Dolphins can be tattooed in both small and big forms. Some people have tattoos which depict them along with their marine lifestyles. In addition, they can also be put creatively and by using smaller forms of the fishes. The different forms of dolphin designs are often based on the area of the body in which they are put.

They are commonly witnessed on areas such as the neck, waist, ear, knees, ankles etc. These areas house the smaller versions of the dolphin tattoos while parts such as the back, legs, arms and chest are better areas for the bigger and life sized tats

The Greek touch
Dolphins have been connected to Greek history and mythology for ages and people often get tattoos which are directly related to this subject. The Greek symbols of luck are often depicted in highly stylised and enlarged manners on people's bodies.

Especially on the back, legs and other such areas where bigger tattoos can be placed, these are more popular. They are also depicted along with Poseidon along with other marine life forms and the trident.

Tribal Dolphins
They are often coupled along with many other different tribal designs in order to form some innovative tattoo concepts and ideas. They are usually depicted as parts of a certain set of designs but can also be tattooed individually and while performing different activities.

Dolphins have been known to be able to do a number of tricks and these tricks and snapshots of these tricks are often good choices for tattoos for people who are interested in getting their own tats done. While many prefer to find other designs for their tattoos but dolphin tattoos outnumber other designs massively.  Valerie Althorpe
