Dinosaur tattoos are most commonly viewed as symbols of strength and often ferocity. These creatures ruled their time period, and while we theorize on what eventually made them extinct the only thing that we can be sure of was that it must have been truly devastating to put an end to them.
Depending on the dinosaur chosen and how it is depicted, the meaning of the tattoo can differ quite a bit. A velociraptor, for instance, might be indicative of a person who is small, but deadly. A cartoon T Rex might indicate someone who is tough, but also has a good sense of humor.
It’s all about what you choose and how you display it but ultimately, dinosaurs are primal power symbols at their very core.
