The intention behind National Donut Day is to celebrate the doughnut as a delicious, versatile treat that can be enjoyed any time of day—dunked in coffee or paired with fruit for breakfast; enjoyed as dessert.
Some people might think that donuts are just for breakfast, but when it comes to National Donut Day, these tasty treats can be enjoyed all day long. So whether you’re craving a warm and gooey cinnamon twist or a fresh-out-of-the-box apple fritter, we’ve got you covered. Check out our roundup of some of the best tattoos celebrating the holiday below!
The donut has been a symbol of the American culture for many years and it’s not hard to see why. They are round, sweet and delicious. But what about the donut tattoos?
It is a pretty new trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years. After all, who doesn’t want to have a yummy donut on their skin?
Raptor tattoos are popular because the Eoraptor is considered the ancestor of all dinosaur species.
Are you also fan of Dromaeosauridaes aka Raptors? When it comes to dinosaur tattoos, nothing makes a bolder statement than a raptor. Raptors are the most iconic dinosaurs, usually depicted as fierce and dangerous predators that ruled their prehistoric world specially the Cretaceous period.
Jurassic Park movies introduced us to the T-rex sub-species of Raptors and ever since then, people want to try unique and symbolic raptor tattoos.
Raptor Tattoo Ideas
On average we find a new dinosaur species every fourth week. Most of these species belong to the Raptor genus. If we follow this average then you will probably never run out of raptor tattoo ideas. However, we have listed here some of our favorites:
1. The classic: Try a traditional design that features a ferocious-looking raptor in profile, with its claws reaching out threateningly from its body. A great option for someone who loves old-school style designs.
2. Minimalist design: For those who prefer simpler tattoos, a minimalist design featuring just the outline of a raptor might be a perfect choice. A great way to show you love dinosaurs without going over the top.
3. Prehistoric landscape: Go for a design that features a detailed landscape, complete with rolling hills, trees, and rivers – all populated by a flock of raptors. This a great option for those who love big and bold tattoos that tell a story.
4. Raptor silhouette: For something minimalist and simple, try one tattoo featuring just the outline of a raptor in flight. Ask the artist to use stark black lines will make it stand out while still giving off an air of mystery.
5. Tribal raptor: I strongly advise opting for a tribal version – A stunning tattoo that combines traditional tribal patterns with the iconic shape of a dinosaur’s skeleton to create something novel and eye-catching.
6. Watercolor raptor: If you are a fan of bright colors, try a design featuring a brilliant blue raptor with red and yellow accents. This tattoo makes certain to knock some people’s socks off.
7. Jurassic Park: Fans of the classic movie “Jurassic Park” will love such a tattoo featuring the iconic logo from the film. The perfect way to show your love for dinosaurs and movies alike.
8. Hunting raptors: If you want something that looks like it came straight out of prehistory, opt for a tattoo featuring a pack of raptors hunting their prey.
9. Up close and personal: A Raptor close-up tattoo might not be everyone’s cup of tea but again if you want to try something unique then this might be the best idea from the list. Ask your artist to make it look as realistic as possible.
10. Realistic raptor: And since we are talking about realistic designs why not try a full-size T-Rex? There are several raptor sub-species and among them, T-rex is the most popular. The apex predator should be your choice for a realistic version.
11. Disney raptor: Disney has made many movies (and TV shows) on dinosaurs. You will find many raptor species from that media. You can base your tattoo designs on any of your favorite cartoon dinosaurs from Disney.
12. Winged raptor: I bet the flying dinosaur was the scariest animal that ever existed on our planet. Our scientists have simulated various scenarios to understand power balance in the prehistoric era and it turned out Flying Raptors were the deadliest animals. This symbolism makes it a perfect choice for a tattoo design.
13. A realistic depiction of a Velociraptor. This fierce creature (or should I say apex predator)was famously featured in the Jurassic Park films and is sure to make an impactful statement if included in a tattoo design.
14. How about a beautiful portrayal of a Deinonychus, showcasing its distinctive “sickle claw” on each foot? This would be an excellent centerpiece for a tattoo design. The Sickle claw would represent fearlessness and a ruthless attitude.
15. Imagine a breathtaking depiction of the Cretaceous period, complete with a diverse array of dinosaurs and even a few pterodactyls. This tattoo piece would be truly awe-inspiring and could be extended beautifully across multiple parts of the body.
16. Create a tattoo utilizing two separate species of dinosaurs in the same scene, such as the Allosaurus or Utahraptor paired up with another fearsome predator.
17. Include other creatures in the mix, such as dilophosaurus or Archaeopteryx, to create an ancient ecosystem on your body. We find a new dinosaur species every other month. You can add the newest species as a motif in your tattoo design.
Raptor Tattoos Meanings and Symbolisms
Raptor tattoos featuring dinosaurs can hold a significant personal meaning for the wearer. They can represent strength, resilience, and power for some, while for others, they may symbolize ferocity and courage. Either way, they make for a powerful and meaningful tattoo design.
They can also serve to remind us of our place in nature or simply act as an homage to our favorite dinosaur species.
Some people even choose to get multiple raptor tattoos representing different species to pay tribute to the diversity of prehistoric life.
Regardless of the interpretation, one thing is certain – dinosaur raptor tattoos will always captivate onlookers with their grandiose ferocity and sheer beauty.
Whether it’s a fierce Velociraptor or a gentle Triceratops, these majestic creatures have left an indelible mark on the human imagination and heart. We will let the designs talk for themselves. So just dive right into our photo gallery and see for yourself how beautiful these designs are:
Raptor tattoos are a great way to express your inner strength and power, show veneration for the natural world, or just revel in your obsessions. So whether you are an amateur paleontologist or an adventurous spirit looking to stand out, let dinosaur raptor tattoos be the perfect addition to your body art collection.
I got my first tattoo when I was sixteen. It was a Bible verse tattooed on my chest. I swore to my parents that I wouldn’t regret it. Since it was scripture, I figured I could talk them into letting me get it, and since I was only sixteen I needed their consent to get a tattoo.
Although I never really regretted that tattoo, my plan changed as I discovered more and more about what was possible in the world of skin art.
When I got that first tattoo I had no idea that I would someday cover most of my body with tattoos. I’ve since had over 600 hours under the needle, and have learned some tough lessons along the way.
Beginning a tattoo collection can be overwhelming at first when there are so many possible directions that you can go. It can be difficult deciding what theme you want to go with (if you want one at all), which artist(s) to select, the imagery, their placement, the size etc. It can be easy to become hasty and make decisions you may later look back on and kick yourself about.
Although I’m at a place now where I’m very happy with my collection, there are still plenty of things I wish I could hit the rewind button on. I am someone who believes that it’s good to learn from your own mistakes, but it’s even better when you can learn from the mistakes others have made… especially when those mistakes involve pain, money, and a lot of headaches.
My back after a brutal laser session last year.
Here are some of the hard lessons I’ve learned along the way. (including lasering off this large color tattoo of Ted Mosby from “How I Met Your Mother.” Don’t ask…)
1.) Choose Your Tattoo Artist Wisely
This is probably the single most important lesson I’ve learned.
Choosing the right artist for your tattoo is something you don’t want to rush. You’d be wise to research, ask questions, find someone whose style best matches what you are going for, and who is someone you can trust.
Social media has changed the industry of tattooing a lot. What you see obviously isn’t necessarily what you’ll get. If you base your decision solely on what artists photos look like on Instagram, you are setting yourself up for a potential fiasco. This is important to understand.
I came to the realization a few years back that often times top notch, legendary artists who are highly respected inside the industry don’t even necessarily have a lot of followers. There are tattooers out there with 5,000 – 10,000 followers who in my personal opinion are creating just as amazing tattoos as plenty of artists with hundreds of thousands of followers.
And sometimes artists with hundreds of thousands of followers may not be accurately representing the quality of their work, which can clearly be misleading.
This may be the case because in my opinion many of the truest and most authenticartists only care about putting out the best work they possibly can, and aren’t all too concerned with their social media other than the business aspect of it. You should never make the decision of who you go to simply based on the number of followers they have on social media, because this is often times a very irrelevant measurement when it comes to the quality of work you’re receiving.
Do your research, study their work carefully without looking at the number of likes or followers, and try to make sure you like about 80% or more of the work on their page before you decide if you want to get tattooed by them.
2. Don’t base your desisions on the advice and opinions of people that don’t have to live with the results.
Tattoo collectors often get excited about upcoming pieces and projects and want to share the news/plans with peers, friends, and family.I’ve been there.
One thing I’ve learned is that everyone has an opinion, especially on tattoos. Don’t base your decisions on the advice and potentially uneducated thoughts of people that don’t have to live with the results.
While it can be great to get feedback from someone you really trust on a specific subject, make sure you are doing your own homework, using your own discretion, and making your own tattoo decisions because at the end of the day it’s you that will be living with the art on your skin potentially forever.

3. Have a plan.
This is something that I’ve had to learn the somewhat hard way. I have gone into some parts of my tattoo journey without an overall plan, and in restrospect I could have saved myself a lot of trouble had I planned things better.
I personally believe it can be a bad idea to start a project (arm-sleeve, leg-sleeve, back piece) without planning that entire section of your body out before you and the artist begin.
Some people like to allow the project to grow more organically as life ebbs and flows, and that can work well too, but for me personally I think having an overall plan can render an overall better end result of the tattoo project.
Like I mentioned before, it can be overwhelming deciding which artist(s) to work with, because there are tens of thousands of amazing tattooers, and it can be very fun to collect different styles from artists who specialize in different things.
In my personal opinion though, I believe it looks best aesthetically when you select a specific artist (or maybe a few) for each project (I.e. a leg-sleeve, arm-sleeve, back-piece) and collect tattoos that fit the body part properly and that the anatomy of them makes sense.
You most likely don’t want just a bunch of random tattoos floating around on your body awkwardly that you have to try to somehow connect together later down the road. I understand some people might like that approach but I assume those people probably aren’t reading this.

4. Communication is Key
Since a tattoo is something you will likely have for your entire life, honest, clear and precise communication between you and your artist is critical. This is one key thing that I’ve had to learn over the years.
I paid the price a few times for not communicating clearly with an artist. There were times that very talented artists and I weren’t on the same page, and I feel one reason why was because I did not communicate as clearly as I should have.
Learning to ask the right questions, clearly communicate your vision, and also utilizing the specific expertise of the artist will go a long way.
Some things to consider:
Where do you want your tattoo?
What size do you want your tattoo to be?
Do you want black and grey or color?
What do you want your tattoo to look like? Have references, ideas in words, and any photos you can find to help further the inspiration for the piece. (But never ask your artist to copy someone else’s work)
What is the budget for your tattoo? Is it best to start the project now or should we wait until my financial situation is more in order?
What is the time frame?
As long as you prepare as much as possible on your end, and clearly communicate with your artist, you are most likely going to be happy with the result.
If you’re someone that is spontaneous and has an artist that you have total trust in, you might consider a “free-reign” piece. I personally love the concept of free-reign work, which means that you allow the artist to choose the direction of the piece and create their vision and original artwork. This takes a tremendous amount of trust, and certainly isn’t something I would reccomend to everyone especially if you’re picky and indecisive.
Even with free-reign work, in my opinion it can still be important to communicate some things in advance such as your overall goal for the aesthetic of your collection, as well as if there is any subject matter that’s off limits. That way, you don’t show up on the day of and disagree completely on what you and the artist each envisioned the tattoo to be.
I was lucky enough to collect these beautiful free-reign hand pieces from Jak Connolly.
5. Just because you can’t afford the whole project at the moment, doesn’t mean you should cut corners and rush things.
I have done this multiple times.
I couldn’t afford the whole project at the time, so instead of planning the whole thing out and taking baby-steps in the right direction, I rushed and pushed to begin the project without a real plan, hoping things would somehow work out in the end.
Because I was hasty, I wasn’t happy with the work and ended up laser removing certain tattoos. So in the long run, I ended up spending more money and having to endure the pain and hassle of laser removal.
Again, if you want an overall large scale bodysuit aesthetic, I believe it’s in most people’s best interest to go slow. That way, you are able to make sure everything you collect is quality work and cohesive.

6. There’s no rush.
When I found out about the realism genre and became a true collector of this art form, things got very exciting and I became a man on a mission wanting beautiful art on nearly every square inch of my body.
While I’m extremely happy with the majority of my collection, it can be bittersweet running out of room, and sometimes wonder if I did a few things differently.
It’s a marathon not a sprint. The quality of tattoo art is only getting better as the years go on so take your time, plan things out, and enjoy the ride.

7. Consider The Cohesion of Your Aesthetic
If a cohesive aesthetic is the goal for your collection, focus on large projects rather than just the amount of artists you want to collect from.
I currently have collected work from over 30 different people, and take great pride in the fact that my bodysuit consists of work from so many talented artists.
One of my personal goals with my collection though, is for it to resemble a museum on the human body. It’s fun to see all of the different distinct styles of each artists on us collectors bodysuits.
However, complications may arise when wanting to collect work from a plethora of artists, rather than focusing on each of your projects specifically. Potential problems may include interruption of flow and cohesion between different artists, lack of an overall cohesive theme, as well as the general potential possibility of having different pieces look like they don’t fit in well with your other tatttoos.
Take a look at this back piece done entirely by Robert Pho. It’s a great example of how cohesive the work looks when done by one artist. Something to consider when you plan your projects.

With all that being said, the last thing to really keep in mind is that there are no official rules when it comes to tattoo collecting, which is half of the beauty if you ask me.
While I can sit here and tell you about lessons I’ve learned, and things I’ve observed through my personal experience, at the end of the day each person has their own story to tell and their own vision for what they want their collection to look like. It’s a journey of our own, and no two tattoo journeys are ever the same.

Amanda Bynes new tattoo has finally become the talk of the media. After ending the conservatory in February 2022, Amanda said the heart tattoo on her face had been removed. Tattoo removal is still ongoing because it can’t go away all at once. The statement was written on his Instagram account on Wednesday, March 9.
Vanity Fair notes that Amanda has shared a few updates to her Instagram, announcing that she’s saying goodbye to the heart tattoo inked on her cheek. On March 9, he posted a video on his Instagram account and shared an update on his facial tattoo with the caption “Tattoo removal process,”
In the video, we can see she zooms in on the heart design. He’s wearing transparent square glasses that cover most of the tattoos, and when she removes them, we can see that the design has faded a bit. Looks like it might just come out of a laser session. Amanda removed the heart tattoo because the color had faded. At that time he was wearing a black vest, bright red lipstick, and a ring on his nose.

Amanda Bynes declare that her conservatory ends in February 2022. She is now healthy mentally fit, and cares for her well-being. She turns to the new look too with new color hair to black.

Amanda Bynes celebrates a major victory over the end of her 9-year conservatory for mental health issues and drug abuse. And Lynn Bynes as conservator of her daughter. In 2013, he was placed under a temporary conservatory when he was 27 years old. after a series of mental health and substance abuse problems.
Amanda’s mother admires the positive changes that have occurred in her daughter’s life. Lynn said she supports the end of the conservatory which has made many positive changes for Amanda. Tamar Arminak said: “Lynn is very proud of the progress Amanda has made over the past few years and is very excited about the next chapter in her life.

That’s why Amanda Bynes new tattoo is dedicated to Paul.
Amanda Bynes new tattoo is like announcing her engagement to Paul. The couple had broken off their engagement. But, in the end in September 2020 they reconciled. The two were seen together in January 2021. Paul posted a photo of the two of them on his Instagram account with an interesting caption on it, “At baes.”
Amanda Bynes new tattoo on her wrist, bearing the name “PAUL” makes her more self-confident come out. She chooses the new ink PAUL is in gothic style. In addition, there is a red rose tattoo on his arm and a small tattoo that says d**k. Well, I have to hide the alphabet on the spelling of it anyway.

I will continue to prioritize well-being and am excited about future endeavors.
