Although completely disappeared about 65.5 million years ago, long before man has made its appearance on this planet, dinosaurs are fascinating creatures which have become an important source of inspiration for literature, film, cartoons and even body art.

Dinosaur tattoo designs are not very popular since most people don’t have an emotional connection with these prehistoric creatures. However, they make cool tattoo designs for Jurassic Park fans and those interested in paleontology.

With almost no spiritual significance, persons who choose a dinosaur tattoo tend to associate its meaning with the strength and enormous size of these reptiles. A dinosaur tattoo design is also a beautiful way to bring homage to these fantastic creatures that once lived on Earth.

The most popular dinosaur tattoo is Tyrannosaurus rex which is the king of this species, often chosen for its ferocity and gigantic size, followed by Triceratops, Velociraptor, Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus, and cute cartoon dinosaur designs, reminiscent of childhood.
