lizard tattoo designs

Tattoo clients choose lizards for a design because of their bright colors and symbolism. A lizard’s body curves with the contour of the human body, making it versatile for placement. The most popular placement for lizard tattoos is on the back or curling over the shoulder, showing the lizard crawling or in motion. The calf or ribs also are a popular spot for this type of tattoo. With its diverse range in size (from a large komodo dragon to a tiny gecko), a tattoo artist can draw and tattoo a small lizard on the top of the foot to a large one covering the entire back.
Friendship
A tattoo design of two lizards with their tails tied together or two lizards placed in a yin-yang position symbolizes friendship. Choose colors that represent each friend for the tattoo. Place the names or initials of the friends in an arc underneath the lizards, or if the design is large enough, on the lizards’ backs. For background details to enhance the lizard design, add a heart in the space between them or add grass and your favorite flower.
Pet Owner
If you keep lizards as pets, get a portrait of your favorite lizard. Bring a clear, crisp color photo of the lizard to the tattoo shop and have the artist duplicate the vibrant colors and patterns of your pet. Add a branch, leaf or the lizard’s drinking bowl with its name on it to personalize your lizard. Portrait tattoos symbolize a pet that has passed on or represent a permanent photo of your current pet placed on your body. If the tattoo is of a deceased pet, add the dates of its life underneath the portrait.
Tribal Gecko
“The gecko is supposed to have supernatural powers, and is regarded by Polynesians with fear and awe,” according to VanishingTattoo.com. A tribal gecko tattoo represents power and overcoming fears for a person who needs a daily, permanent reminder to do so. Wearing this tattoo empowers the person to overcome obstacles and serves as a reminder to not allow fear to get in the way of accomplishing goals in life. Adding design elements, such as water for the person who fears drowning, to the tattoo show the fear that the person needs to overcome.
