Dolphins to the ancient Greek and Roman sailors were symbols of protection and guidance. It was thought that dolphins would guide lost sailors back to their home land and rescue any sailors that fell overboard.

Dolphins are also seen as a way to connect the world of humans, and the underwater world of the sea. This form of connectedness has led to great innovations between dolphins and humans such as dolphin interaction and therapy. Swimming with dolphins has helped children to cope with handicaps, overcome learning challenges and soothed the suffering of individuals with severe depression or mental anguish.

Our fascination and love of this amazing creature has created a huge popularity in dolphin tattoos. Many people view dolphins and dolphin tattoos as highly symbolic – a benevolent protector, or a symbol of the joy and abundance.

If you feel connected in some way to the ocean and have a love for these amazing creatures, a dolphin tattoo may be just for you.
