What does Dolphin tattoo mean?

A dolphin in the ranking of the most cute animals for humans would probably take one of the first places. Smart, friendly, delighting with his grace and abilities. Because tWell with a dolphin is not uncommon, and it is quite normal that many people want to leave the image of this cleverest animal on their bodies. And here many interesting options open up.

The main association with a dolphin is the sea, freedom, high intelligence, friendliness. In 99% of cases, the dolphin is perceived as a positive image. It is interesting that in different eras this aquatic mammal had different symbols. The Celts, for example, considered it a symbol of rebirth from water. The ancient Greeks mystically attributed the dolphin to the creature that leads people along the seas of death. The Egyptians even correlated the dolphin with the God of the Moon, and also believed that he could be the patron saint of motherhood, femininity and love.

It is believed that the dolphin is associated even with erotic and sensual images, and those who choose earrings in the form of a dolphin or a tattoo, one way or another, want to emphasize their own sexuality. However, this opinion is also not groundless.

The Romans, unlike the Greeks, did not go into the Thanatos theme, but scornfully believed that heavily drinking sailors would turn into dolphins. The theme of the sea is connected with the animal too, and it is understandable. The noses of many ships could have been shaped like a dolphin. It was believed that he, like Christ, leads seafarers across the ocean.

In a word, one modest image means so much that a tattoo can be interpreted in completely different ways. Most of the images converge in one thing: the dolphin is an intelligent, pleasant, fast and dexterous character who favors the bold, cheerful and courageous. It can also be considered a symbol of those who want to "catch the wave" in life. If a woman or man is ready to get a tattoo with a sexual connotation, but not particularly straightforward, they also turn to the dolphin theme.

Probably the most important "consumers" of such tattoos are young girls. Once upon a time, dolphins were stuffed by fans of the ultra-fashionable group "Mumiy Troll", but the subtext of such a desire was different - adoration of idols and the desire to be on the same wavelength with them. Today dolphins are stuffed by girls who want to decorate their bodies with light, clean and cheerful images, first of all.

Let's consider what sketches they can be.

• Completed in monochrome small figures, corresponding to the style of minimalism. Such dolphins are preferred by thin and vulnerable girls, often in creative professions, even more often in those who love laconicism and restraint in tattoos.

• Color images against the backdrop of sunset or dawn. They look bright, expressive, very attention-grabbing. Such tattoos are preferred by optimists, a little adventurous, easy-going girls who perceive life as an amazing adventure.

• Dolphin jumping out of the water. It can be small black or larger, made in the form of a delicate watercolor painting. The girl who got such a tattoo wants to be noticed, needs interest, but is ready to take it in dosage. She is careful, perceptive, therefore she will never dive into a stormy stream, but first she will touch the water well with her foot.

• An adult dolphin with a dolphin. It is considered a wonderful symbol of motherhood, and young mothers filled with love for their baby often turn to such symbolism. The tattoo will always remind of the moment a girl turns into a mother, of responsibility and affection, of pure love and an eternally extended shoulder in the ocean of life's worries.

Men also do not ignore the dolphin theme. And their sketches can be partly repeated by women. Rarely is it a small, modest dolphin, unless it is the only tattoo on the body, but one of several. But frolicking dolphins in the sun is a more familiar subject. They also make a tattoo with a dolphin swimming in front of the ship. The symbolism of such a plot is in readiness to always be ahead, even ahead of the greatest circumstances and challenges of fate.

Many people stuff dolphins for good luck: they consider them the best amulet and prefer not to wear earrings and pendants with dolphins, but to make them a part of their body.

It is unlikely that a dolphin can be considered a character that should only be revealed to those closest to you. It is likely, nevertheless, that this is an image ready to be seen. Therefore, on the hand, on the wrist, the dolphin appears very often... However, young girls also like to stuff a dolphin on the lower back, and during the bathing season they actively demonstrate an actual tattoo.

Dolphin on foot - also the prerogative of girls, they prefer to stuff it on the thigh, and quite large. And here in the area of ​​the shoulder blades the dolphin appears less often, because those characters that have wings are more popular there.

In men, the dolphin is more often stuffed around the neck and forearm.... Sometimes little dolphins are "painted" on fingersperhaps two at once. A graceful silhouette of a dolphin may appear and under the ear, towards the back of the head. On the chest such tattoos are less common, and if they are still done, then in most cases - guys.

And since it is better to see once than hear a hundred times, examples of high-quality tattoos will be the most eloquent.

• Tattoos on the back in the form of dolphins forming a heart. A bold solution with a large symmetrical pattern. Perhaps it was done on the occasion of a pleasant event in his personal life.

• Those who love mesmerizing little things will surely take a closer look at this pattern. A light touch, a very small tattoo that is intriguing, and those around you will definitely want to know the story of its origin.

• A colorful and cheerful tattoo can speak of its wearer as a person with a thirst for adventure, eternal summer and outdoor activities. And it is also about how beautiful youth is, and how you want to be young for a longer time.

• A discreet tattoo on the leg, which is far from always noticeable, but in summer it will definitely highlight a person and attract attention. A colored version of the same tattoo format is also popular.

• Another minimalistic work that will suit delicate and graceful girls who love light solutions with some philosophical overtones. Such works are often stuffed in adolescence, but not necessarily. If you believe the tattoo artists, women often come with a request to make a similar drawing for their birthday when they are 40 and older.

• A painting, the canvas of which is the body of a person, - otherwise this work cannot be called. It covers a large area of ​​the skin and reflects some aspirations of a person, his views on life. Just for beauty, such tattoos are rarely done.

• A reminder of the bright days of youth - the same bright little dolphin on a graceful girlish leg. A tattoo motivates you to stay in shape longer, and that includes.

• A trendy and modern take on an easy-to-read image that suits both men and women.

• On the thigh, a tattoo always looks both cute and provocative. And even the cute dolphin seems to be a rather spicy pattern.

• Surely there is a whole message here, but not the fact that the tattoo wearer wants to voice it.
