Ideas For Dolphin Tattoo Designs

There are many tattoos that feature dolphins. Sites such as Tattoos-and-art.com feature a good collection of them as do sites such as RateMyTattoo. These sites can help to give you an idea of what type of piece you would like.

A few more ideas include:

  • Dolphins are grand creatures that usually travel in packs. A large mural tattoo featuring the sea and the sand and the sun with a pack of traveling dolphins can be serene and calming.
  • Look through art and painting books. Paintings can be adapted to make some of the best tattoos.
  • For a bolder design, consider creating your own piece of dolphin art. You can create your own mosaic design or pattern.
  • For those with abstract ideas, consider getting a piece of a dolphin broken into pieces as your art piece.
  • If you're interested in adapting artwork into a tattoo with dolphins, consider either of the following in your search:
Dolphin aquarium
Dolphin stamp

Both images show two different ways to add dolphin art into a tattoo.

Placement Ideas

If you're looking into dolphin art for your tattoo then you are probably also interested in a few ideas of where you can put your future tattoo. A few ideas include:

Dolphin shoulder tattoo
  • One of the most popular tattoo placement ideas for dolphin tattoos are on the shoulder or between the shoulder blades. The design would work nicely in this area if the piece is relatively symmetrical.
  • For back pieces, there are even more options. Large, mural pieces work best in this position. However, some people who love the look of separate vine-like pieces would love the look of several dolphins across their back. For people who love tattoos that come across the body (such as a tattoo that starts at the lower back and ends under the breast, for example), dolphin art would work too.
  • For smaller tattoo art, one can consider any form of band such as an armband, ankle, or wrist tattoo. However, it would probably be difficult to incorporate more artistic elements into the design.

Other Tips

  • If you're considering dolphin art because you are a nature lover, don't take your dolphin out of water.
  • Try and find a tattoo artist who specializes in animal art. He or she will be able to take the best care of your dolphin and be able to make it look as realistic or artistic as you would like.
  • If you're interested in a marine life tattoo, consider adding other elements such as other animals or starfishes to create a more fleshed out look. But please, don't add a tiger. If it doesn't belong in the sea, don't put it there!

Final Thoughts

Dolphins and art are two ideas that can go together hand and hand. If you put the time and energy to crafting an artistic design, you'll be sure to love your tattoo for years to come.
