100 Unique Gorilla Tattoos You’ll Need to See

So, you are thinking about getting a gorilla tattoo? If you are looking for gorilla tattoo ideas and inspiration, then you have come to the right page. In this blog post, we will talk about gorilla tattoos and their meanings. We have also collected over 100 images of Gorilla tattoos to give you inspiration for your next tattoo.

Gorillas always fascinate men, probably because of their close resemblance to us constantly reminding us of our primeval origins. Gorillas are astonishingly human-looking, and their gene matches 95-99% to ours. They are the closest living links to humans besides chimpanzees. Which also makes them very intelligent.

Movies like King Kong or Konga portrays gorilla as a giant, bloodthirsty, aggressive, and violent creature. But in real life, gorillas are extremely shy and peaceful. They live in the dense undergrowth of the jungle in a group hidden from everyone. Their appearance can be extremely intimidating with a large head, short neck, and heavily built body. Aggressiveness is not their true nature, and they only demonstrate aggressive behavior like charging and beating their chests when they feel threatened.

Gorillas are very social animals like us. They take care of the young and the old in their group.

Meanings of Gorilla Tattoos?

A gorilla tattoo can hold many meanings. As I mentioned earlier, the gorillas are also known as friendly and peaceful animals. But when two gorilla groups meet the two Silverbacks (the leader of the groups), sometimes engage in a fight to the death to defend their honor. So a gorilla tattoo can symbolize courage, strength, loyalty, and power.

The meaning of gorilla tattoos can also depend on the style of the drawing and the design. How you portray the gorilla in your design can dictate the meaning of your gorilla tattoo.

End of the day, your tattoo represents what you want it to represent, but in general, the meanings of gorilla tattoos are:

  • Family
  • Loyalty
  • Strength
  • Aggression
  • Intelligence
  • Masculinity

Placement

There are not that many small gorilla tattoos. Gorilla tattoos are very masculine, but women often get them too. Gorilla tattoos are not one of those tattoos that you want to hide, and they are usually pretty big. The most common placements for gorilla tattoos are:

  • Arm
  • Forearm
  • Calf
  • Sleeve
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Hand

Types of Gorilla Tattoos

There are varieties of Gorilla tattoo designs. Some look realistic while others designed as a cartoon. Most designs portray only the head of the gorilla. The facial expression of the gorilla is very important. They can change the meaning of the tattoo. For example, a clam face can symbolize strength, while an angry face symbolizes aggression. You can also get the entire gorilla in your tattoo design instead of the head. People often incorporate meaningful symbols and elements with their gorilla tattoos. You may even add a landscape or background to the design.
