Dolphin Tattoo Designs

 

Dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals, and because they're cute, the dolphin is a common tattoo design. Dolphin tattoos can be done in a variety of designs and colors, with there really being no wrong way to design a dolphin tattoo. Most dolphin tattoo designs depict the dolphin breeching a wave or playing on the surface. Dolphin designs can be done as a solitary dolphin tattoo, a mother dolphin and calf tattoo, or a whole pod of dolphins tattoo. Dolphin tattoos have also been incorporated into arm bands, with a pod of dolphins swimming around the arm or leg.

Another popular dolphin design that appeals to many women is a circle formed by two dolphins, oriented nose to tale. These can be used to encircle the navel or as the center of a tribal or celtic armband. You can add additional personality to a dolphin tattoo by adding more detailed waves, or a sunset or clouds to a natural dolphin tattoo.

Two dolphins forming a circle, with noses to tails can make a perfect design to surround navels or nipples, and you can always combine dolphins with other popular tattoo designs to make your own unique statement. Dolphins form a natural tattoo pairing as part of mermaid tattoos, or other nautical tattoos, as sailors considered dolphins to be a sign of good luck.
