Followers of the first and seminal cryptocurrency, Bitcoin tattoos have been around for almost a decade while influential Bitcoiners were quick to ink themselves. Didi Taihuttu, a Bitcoin showman and father of the Bitcoin Family, was an early adopter of Bitcoin ink in 2017. His tattoo represents “freedom and no longer being part of the system.”
Anita Posch, a Bitcoin author and podcaster, has a lightning bolt tattooed on her forearm. She explained in a German language Bitcoin documentary called “Human B” that to people that don’t know, the tattoo “represents energy.” A recipient of a recent Human Rights Foundation grant distributed in Satoshis, Posch is a passionate advocate for the lightning network.
While Dogecoin is deep outside the top five cryptocurrencies, it remains the second most popular cryptocurrency tattoo search with 700 average monthly searches. However, the Dogecoin hype of 2021 is clearly on the wane.
A huge peak in searches for Doge tattoo in early 2021 has since dropped off, (in red) despite Doge’ biggest fan, Elon Musk, continuing to popularize the currency.
Plus, some of the Dogecoin tattoos on Instagram are a stretch from the logo of the original Shiba Inu dog.
As for cryptocurrency tattoos, Ethereum’s logo of an octahedron, a diamond-shaped geometric figure is less inked with only 6 instagram posts. However, NFT tattoos–which were popularised on the Ethereum blockchain have been gaining in popularity.

In March 2021, as the floor price for the Lazy Lions grinds down to 1.5 ETH, the ink remains permanent.
