#10: Stegosaurus Dinosaur Tattoo
Built for battle, the Stegosaurus was the tank of the late Jurassic period. though they look fierce in their armor and spiked tail, the stegosaurus was a lover, not a fighter. making them perfect for someone who has a tough outer shell, but is very sweet on the inside.

#9: Sauropod Dinosaur Tattoo
The genital sauropod has always held a place in our hearts. we can imagine riding them across the plains, sliding down their long necks, or using them as dinosaur elevators to carry us above the trees. From littlefoot to herds of sauropods in Jurassic Park, these ancient giraffes have always put a smile on our faces, making them perfect for tattoos.

#8: Triceratops Dinosaur Tattoo
Another iconic dinosaur tattoo, the triceratops is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs of all time. triceratops literally translates to “three-horned face,” which means even its name gets right to the “point.”

#7: t-rex dinosaur tattoo on the arm
Even the fiercest of dinosaurs can be sad sometimes. This tattoo shows a heartbreaking scene, when a single t-rex tries to decorate his tree for the holidays. he starts out fine, but can’t place the star due to his tiny tyrannosaurus rex arms.

#6: Raptor Claw Dinosaur Tattoo
lucky rabbits paws are for suckers, the only real lucky charm is the paw of a raptor. the only problem is getting a genuine raptor paw, luckily here is your guide: find a dig site, find a good team to help, get a billionaire to fund your dig, find the raptor claw, keep the raptor claw, and connect it to a fancy rope, boom done. Or you can skip all that and get an amazing raptor foot tattoo like the one below.

When dinosaur fossils were found in medieval times, they were thought to be the remains of the dragons of myth. and their bones still fascinate us today, which is why a t-rex skull tattoo is an amazing idea for a dinosaur tattoo.

#4: triceratops dinosaur tattoo
Triceratops are big, dinosaurs in general are big, except compsognathus, they’re small, but big by today’s lizard standards, unless you compare them to komodo dragons, you know what… to be. The point is that a good way to get a dinosaur tattoo is to get the bust, just like the triceratops tattoo below. Not only that, but framed bust tattoos like the one below make the dinosaur look very distinguished, like a philosopher or professor. calling the dino doctor!

step aside dr. jones, this is the crystal skull archaeologists really want to get their hands on. The double miracle of nature in this dinosaur tattoo, this preserved t-rex skull has developed bright and colorful crystals like a crown fit for the king of dinosaurs.

#1: velociraptor dinosaur tattoo
They weren’t the biggest, they weren’t the fastest, but they were the smartest. if they hadn’t been destroyed 65 million years ago, they might be at the top of the food chain today. We can only speculate, but what is not up for debate is how amazing this velociraptor tattoo looks. when you look into his eyes, you can almost see him looking at you… plotting.
