The lucky lizard! More than 200 totally original, unpublished designs featuring geckos for your next tattoo. The gecko is a small lizard that has become hugely popular in the tattoo world. Perhaps because this undeniably cute character can be kept as a pet or possibly because it is one of the most common subjects in the tribal tattoos of Polynesia. But maybe it is simply because wherever you go the gecko is considered a good luck symbol.
