Life-size replications of a gecko, studied in a scientific, realistic manner showcase your personal admiration for this intriguing creature. You can perch the guy where he might naturally rest on your body, and utilize highly detailed work and coloring, with intricate shading to replicate the spotting and its trademark eyes.
Tribal tattoos pay homage to our distant ancestors and the symbolism they held true to their beliefs. The look is dark and bold, in a simplified abstract version of the original form. The edges are sharp and angular, and often repeat in a pattern that circles around a bicep, forearm or is placed symmetrically on either side of the chest or back as a mirrored reflection. This tattoo would be best for those looking for heavy black ink and are into the symbolic interpretation of the gecko.
A pair of small gecko tattoos separately created on the top of each foot is a perfect idea for women. This is a great choice if you are looking to be discreet with your tattoo presence. Your little gecko buddies will follow you with every step, and you can pose your feet in different ways to bring them closer together, or further apart. The best part is, you can view them whenever you like, without looking in a mirror. Consider creating them in a yin and yang position, curling up in opposing directions, so when your feet are placed side by side, they create that popular design.
If color and fantasy is the look you are going for in a tattoo, you can't find anything more colorful than a bright red gecko perched atop a tropical orange and yellow flower. Exaggerate the size and color of his eyes, give him a pitchfork tail, dragon-like claws, or a seemingly endless tongue with a symbolic penny on the end, symbolizing good fortune. Perhaps he can have fantastical wings and appear slowly rising up your back with a sun at the top, creating a glowing effect. You can assign your gecko with all the personality and scenarios you can dream up. After all, he is a symbol of dreams.
