Hunter Morrow Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I was wondering if anybody had any examples of these? I'm thinking of getting one this fall. I saw a ton of the Japanese/Asian Dragon tattoos. They were all excellently done but something seemed a little off and phony to me. Kinda seemed like a snake with legs. But it got me thinking that when I was a kid I was a SUPER dinosaur fanatic. I studied 'em, went on fossil digs and things like that. So I did some image searches for them and some common themes seem to be... "Dapper"/Tycoon Dinosaurs. You know, dinosaurs with things like Top Hats, Monocles, Canes, Business Suits, Pocketwatches, etc... Or they are doing something a dinosaur wouldn't do, like ride a skateboard, go surfing, eat an ice cream cone. I think they are pretty neat but I don't think they fit me too well. The first is a coverup, the second is a "original" tattoo Calf Tattoos It seems that the most popular dinosaur to tattoo is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The next most common is a Velociraptor. A popular place to put these is the calves as opposed to the arms I was just wondering if anybody had some good images and ideas for dinosaur tattoos?

Androosh Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'd be interested in seeing a solid dino tattoo...because I've never seen a good one. I'm talking about a dino free of monocles, ice cream cones, books...

Hunter Morrow Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Never seen a good one? Like the mythical pro wrestling or sports tattoo that doesn't suck the big one. Well, I've always been up for a good challenge. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2144-dinosaur-tattoos/#findComment-34608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay P Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Here's a T-Rex on the back my girlfriend's calf. I think it's pretty much her favourite tattoo. Done by Matty D'Arienzo from Melbourne AUS when he was in London. This was taken straight after so it's a bit angry. I love it!
