Looking for some cool Lorax tattoo ideas? We got you covered. We have collected the best tattoos out there from the popular book and movie we all love!
‘The Lorax’ is one of the most popular books written by Dr. Seuss and is an extremely loved movie for kids.
The plot of ‘The Lorax’ revolves around environmental damage caused by the cutting of trees and the greed that fuels this destruction. Lorax is the titular character in the movie and is extremely popular as a tattoo among fans of the book or the movie.
Lorax speaks for the environment and the trees of the valley where the plot is centred around, thus, helping children learn the importance of nature and trees. The specific tree in question is the Truffula, a fictional tree that helps in producing ‘Thneed’, an extremely versatile garment. This final product is acquired by cutting down the Truffulas and using their silky foliage in order to knit these special garments. The book takes readers through the experience of a young boy who finds this out from the Once-ler, who himself was responsible for the destruction of the Truffulas. Dr. Seuss tattoos are extremely popular and so are tattoos that feature various characters from his books. Lorax experiences a similar level of popularity, if not more than other characters. Thus, it is a great idea to get ‘Lorax’-themed tattoos or tattoos of Lorax, the fictional being. The book was initially published in 1971, followed by many adaptations and reworks. The movie based on the book came out in 2012 and absolutely cemented this unforgettable story of the Lorax in the hearts of millions of children and even adults. The Lorax is representative of the trees and the entire point of the novel is to put out a strong message that we must protect our environment and especially our trees. This is one of the most important reasons why many environmentalists and tree-lovers choose to get a tattoo from this beautiful work of fiction.
‘The Lorax’ ‘Unless’ Tattoo Designs
‘Unless’ has a deeper meaning that relates to the main focus of the book and the movie.

This is a great tattoo to have and Doctor Seuss fans will definitely recognise this while others will definitely have a lot of questions about the meaning of the tattoo as they do not know what comes before or after ‘Unless’.
