1. Detailed but Simple Elephant Tattoos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the most realistic or detailed-looking elephants<\/strong><\/a> make for the best kinds of tattoos. There are several in this gallery that are beautiful and impressive while capturing the elephant\u2019s notorious nobility. Much care went into the shading and fine lines.<\/p>\n\n\n

For instance, this set of elephants captures one elephant in a regal stride while the other could be running or frolicking. Regardless of the context, the detail takes the viewer\u2019s breath away. The shading, light, and composition are superb.<\/p>\n\n\n

Likewise, this dual image of elephants puts them in an almost human-like depiction. They\u2019re chilling out next to each other with their trunks in the air. They appear as though they\u2019re laughing and joking while they sit near a body of water or on a beach. It\u2019s absolutely adorable to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n

Even though not realistic, we designed our own detailed tattoo that gives this elephant a marble-like silhouette effect. You can check it out on our shop page<\/strong><\/a> along with other similar elephant tattoo designs. <\/p>\n\n\n

Simple Cartoon Elephant Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever seen the quaint children\u2019s cartoons, \u201cDumbo<\/strong><\/a>\u201d or \u201cBabar the Elephant,\u201d there are plentitudes of images that reflect the quality, feel, and appearance of these animations. While the images don\u2019t outright boast coming from these cartoons, the similarities are undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of the more precious images that scream echoes of \u201cDumbo,\u201d this depiction is simple yet profound. The teal heart at the tip of the trunk as the elephant looks up is cute beyond words.<\/p>\n\n\n

This other elephant showing a heart-shaped<\/strong><\/a> balloon also falls in line with such a theme.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are many more of these that appear to come right out of a Babar book. This one is simple, yet it looks like it belongs as part of Babar\u2019s family.<\/p>\n\n\n

Even though this next image isn\u2019t exactly Babar, the composition definitely lends itself to comparison with this beautiful floral elephant tattoo. <\/p>\n\n\n

Simple Henna-Like Elephant Tattoo Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a penchant for all things Hindu or adore the look of elephants beset in subcontinent Indian style, there are a plethora of fabulous tattoo inspirations. If you go with something like this, you could even get it done in brown ink to make it look like a henna design. No one will know the difference unless they ask.<\/p>\n\n\n

This adorable Indian-like image depicts an elephant with a headpiece complete with lotus flowers on its back and diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n

And yet, “cute” hardly describes this other elephant line drawing. It\u2019s a Hindu-like rendition but there are musical notes streaming out of the trunk from this little guy. There\u2019s a heart-pulling look in this animal\u2019s eye as it displays its beautiful markings.<\/p>\n\n\n

But, you could just get a portrait-style rendition of an elephant\u2019s head with similar decorations, like this one of an elephant holding a lotus flower delicately placed in its trunk. It\u2019s very stunning as an arm piece that shouts simple yet very elegant in its presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
