Some decades ago, dolphins began the approach to humans in the order of divine association, but this approach was increased during the 1990s and is still present today. Richard O’Barry said that, “No argument can rationalize the forced confinement of these social and highly intelligent creatures” 

Because of their intelligence beyond the expectation in the animal race, humans and dolphins have a natural empathy, so it is not strange that dolphin tattoos have become one of the most popular body decorations today. Whether a small dolphin alone tattooed above the anklebone or a whole aquarium tattooed on the chest, dolphins are a sort of bridge between humans and the underwater world. 

“There is something about dolphins. It is difficult to put into words…” if this quote from Mark Carwardine is true, dolphin tattoos can explain it all. An image is worth a thousand words if you want to have a dolphin tattooed anywhere on your body, choose the right one, reflecting what you feel, think or want to express in relationship with these intelligent animals. 

If we must continue citing philosophers to express what a dolphin can mean for a human, Mallory Watson said “Listen to the voice of a dolphin, and you shall learn the secret to mankinds’ survival: peace!” There in no animal from the ocean able to transmit a peaceful feeling as remarkably as the dolphin. 

You can also design you own dolphin tattoos because a few curved lines and a lot of feeling may result in a masterpiece or a modern stylized design. Since the last few decades, humans and dolphins have co-existed ever closer and the mutual understanding seems to reveal a divine connection. 

Those individuals believing that dolphins are a manifestation of the divine will probably love wearing dolphin tattoos to enhance or promote somehow this closeness. In fact, dolphin interaction and therapy has shown that the link exists. People swimming with dolphins will be pleased wearing a dolphin tattoo anywhere on their body. 

Designs depicting a chain of dolphins interlinked are often worn as armband tattoos around the wrist simulating a belt. Affinity between humans and dolphins has also inspired many art manifestations portraying dolphins that can easily be adapted as to become dolphin tattoos. 

In fact, there is a belief that wearing a dolphin tattoo you can be closer to divine or become inspired by divine envisions, as well as absorb into the body a little bit of the dolphin’s qualities. “Diviner than the dolphin is nothing yet created…”- Oppian, Halieutica.
