Cross Patterns Tattoos

Cross Patterns TattoosDolphins and humans have coexisted for long, and it is the most loved aquatic species in the world. They are considered to be one of the most intelligent amongst marine mammals. Scientists say dolphin’s brain is much bigger, and in fact, more complex than the human brain. In fiction, dolphin’s image exemplifies exuberance, joy, and creative self expression, and the same virtues are associated with Dolphins tattoo designs.

Dolphins also depict versatility, something reflective in the variety of dolphin tattoo designs that people use today. In fact, there are plenty of them – oblong ones that are sometimes curved into near-spherical shapes, outstretched dolphins, a chain of them, or one that curves around your belly button, to point out a few. Further, dolphin tattoos are also adapted to other popular tattoo styles such as Celtic and Tribal. The Celtic concept incorporates a dolphin into a knot work design, a curved dolphin that sits within a complex Celtic border, while a dolphin I shown as a totem animal of sorts – a quite bold design – in Tribal designs. Both types have their own takers, and are quite popular.

So, if you have a secret affinity for ocean, or have a soft corner for this wonderful species, dolphin tattoo designs are something that you won’t go tire of. If you are not sure what tattoo you want on your body, to start with, you can try a small image on your ankle bone. Perhaps, a good and experienced tattoo artist could suggest more ideas, as to how to portray the image of a dolphin, or add color to the same to make it appealing and cute. Finally, given the health issues that could arise out of wrong techniques of tattooing, it is advisable to get the work done only through a pro tattoo designer, and not some amateur.
