Dolphins have different meanings, depending on which culture you ask. To the Celtic people, a dolphin symbolizes rejuvenation, and to the Native Americans they symbolizes kindness.
To the Chinese, a pair of dolphins means harmony. Also many people see them as a symbol of good luck, and decide to get their good luck charm tattooed on their skin.
Dolphin tattoos have began to surge in popularity in the last few years, and have become extremely popular tattoos for women and men.
Women like them because the dolphin is seen as a carefree, playful, friendly, and peaceful animal. Some men such as surfers like them because they are a widely recognized symbol of the ocean.
Another reason that dolphin tattoos are popular is because they fit almost anywhere on the body. They make great designs to incorporate into a half sleeve tattoo, full sleeve tattoo, or you could even have dolphins racing their way across your chest or back. They are being formed into lower back tattoos that are getting extremely popular, both replacing the tribal tattoos, and being mixed into a tribal dolphin tattoos.
Before you get inked, you should check out an online tattoo gallery for tattoo ideas. There are several popular galleries, where you can find thousands of designs. The pictures of the tattoos will be real photos, in high resolution.
They also show the tattoo on an actual persons skin, instead of just design on paper. If you want a small dolphin tattoo, sleeves, or a tribal design, an online tattoo gallery is the best place to look. John D Frost
