Ethan Dolan is one of the twins of the famous Dolan Brothers. Ethan is 20 minutes older than Grayson. Both the brothers gained popularity via ‘The Dolan Twins’ which continued for over five years. Ethan has got a huge number of tattoos on his body and many of them are common between him and his twin brother, Grayson. Let us explore his tattoos and their meanings.

1. Left Ankle Tattoos

Tattoo: On his left ankle, Ethan has got tiny tattoos of the word ‘Animal’, an image of a Camera, and a Lightning Bolt.

Meaning: The lightning bolt represents being powerful and quick whereas the camera represents Ethan’s work of recording the videos of twin brothers. As per Ethan, every species is equally important be it, animals, humans, etc.

“Humans, as a species have come up with all of these rules, like the way you have to be, certain things that you have to do so you can be socially accepted and all when, at the end of the day, we’re really just animals…so if you think about it, people shouldn’t be telling you what to do.”

Ethan said the lightning bolt means, “quick, at the moment, powerful” and the camera is because Ethan always does the film work for the twins’ videos.

2. Roman Numerals Tattoo

Tattoo: We can see some roman numerals tattooed on Ethan’s body as XII – XVI – MCMXCIX and inside the roman numerals, we can see a tiny cross tattoo.

Meaning: Roman numerals here represent the birthdate of Ethan and his twin brother Grayson’s birthdate as 16 December 1999. This is the first tattoo which Ethan got when he was just 15 years old. The cross is his dedication of love for his grandfather.

3. ‘Magnifying Glass’ Tattoo

Tattoo: Towards the left side of his roman numerals tattoo, then has got a tiny magnifying glass inked. Also, within the glass, we can see a tiny word, ‘NOW’ inked.

Meaning: The tattoo was Grayson’s idea but, Ethan decided to get it. The tattoo reminds Ethan to focus on ‘NOW’ and the present times rather than worrying about the future.
