Variations of Doctor Who Tattoos

There are many symbols and quotes in this show that have been tattooed on the bodies of Doctor Who fans. Below you find some examples of different images that have been captured in ink. Of all the Doctor Who tattoos we have seen, these are some of the more popular choices when it comes to immortalizing Doctor Who on the body.

TARDIS Tattoo

The TARDIS is probably the most recognized image in the whole Doctor Who series outside of the Time Lord himself. It looks like an old British police box, but it is an entirely different thing than the eye sees. The TARDIS is dimensionally transcendental and that means it can travel to other dimensions. It is a space and time machine from Doctor Who’s home planet of Gallifrey. On the inside of the TARDIS is a different animal in that it exists in a relative, yet different, dimension. Therefore, when you step inside, you are looking at a whole control center in which all the calculations and traveling decisions are made. TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension in Space.
