We particularly love the blue flower on the ear. Simple yet poignant little elephant design above someones ankle.
Definitely not the kind of tattoo to get if you fall over and scrape your knees a lot, but none the less an incredible design! One with a female on the right kneed and one with a male on the left knee. Here you can see the homage to elephants working in old circus shows with these interesting elephant knee tattoo designs. This is one of the most beautiful and unique tattoos that we have seen. You may not see it at first glance but this incredible back tattoo design is actually made up of two elephants facing outwards that are joined together with an amazing floral style pattern. The elephant also looks very happy in this design and we love the use of a lot of geometric patterns and shapes to make up the elephant. This is another great example of the elephant with its trunk up to represent good luck. They are very loyal to their young calfs as well and will generally stick together as you can see in the above design. Cartoon elephants can look very cute as tattoo designs and are quite popular with females.Įlephants are considered very loyal creatures, particularly because the male will stay chaste for 2 years whilst the female partner is pregnant which is unusual in the animal world. This design reminds us of the popular children’s story and cartoon Dumbo which was about an elephant. It is also a favored choice for a lot of females because they can easily hide it behind their long hair. Getting a tattoo behind the ear is particularly common place amongst females these days and was some what popularized by singer Rihanna who has tattoos in the same spot. Traditionally elephants were painted for ceremonial purposes often with very intricate designs such as the design above. This is more a hindu style elephant design. The other thing that is interesting about this design is that they have chosen what is probably considered the least interesting side of the elephant (the behind) and used that as the basis for their design, yet for some reason it just really works well. His designs are very popular amongst tattoo fans because of their unique and surreal look (not to mention that not many can afford one of his actual paintings any more).Īnother example of an abstract style elephant tattoo, this time made up entirely of brush strokes. This abstract elephant tattoo is actually a design by infamous surrealist painter Salvador Dali who most notably did the painting with the melted clocks. Getting tattoos in matching spots is very popular amongst friends, they don’t necessarily need to be the same design but if you get them in the same spot it will become more symbolic and each time you look at the tattoo it can remind you of each other. Either way this is a great elephant design on the finger which you could easily hide with a ring if need be. I guess you could say its a shot at the rules and conforming to old fashioned standards.
What was once considered a ‘faux pas’ as you would unlikely not get a job with a finger tattoo, is now common place amongst both young males and females a like. A popular tattoo nowadays is the finger tattoo.
