Significance of Tiger Tattoos and Tattoo designs

Literally speaking there is no end to ideas for tattoo art because of the love for people for diversified tattoos. From flowers, letters to animals and birds almost all things find significance in tattoo design and arts. And that is the reason the tattoo art is the most flexible and most profoundly overflowing art form for body art. And hence are the Tiger Tattoos.

In Asia the tiger is associated with might of kings and power which is a position similar to Lion tattoos and designs that are accepted in European Countries and Middle East. Though it is a symbol of predator but the tiger has some greater significance than being simply a predator. For instance in Indian Culture the Tiger is often seen as savior of good from the evil, a destroyer of bad as the Hindu Goddess rides on it to kill the Evil Power and save the world and heaven from the Rakshasas. It is also seen as power of god Shiva as he rides on tiger or sits on tiger skin.

In Korean culture Tiger is considered the King of all animals and hence they find greater significance in this culture. Many Korean tattoos and designs are with the tiger showed in different positions. The tiger cubs also find importance with the tiger tattoos. Though it is usually seen as a power of strength, destruction and violence, yet the tiger can be a symbol of continuity of life, the law of nature where it makes a balance of ecosystem and a part of it.

Its destructive power is seen against the evil powers. In Chinese culture the tiger images are used as symbols of charms because it is believed that such charms would ward off evil from the home or other places. That's why you find stone tiger images often used outside home as protective guards to ward off the evil omens and spirits. It is believed that during the rule of Chou dynasty, the images of tigers were hung in the room of the pregnant lady to protect the unborn baby from evil spirits. They are thought as punisher of sinners in the name of a supreme being.

It is also believed that the Na-hsi tribe of Tibet has been descendants of tigers and that's why the Na-hsi tigers are gifted to new born children as well as those who are newly married. Such is the significance of the tigers in tattoo art and culture.

The best accessory a man can have is probably a tattoo. Tattoos have long been associated with masculinity and strength. When it comes to getting a tattoo, most of the work done is in choosing a design. Your tattoo will become a representation of who you are so you better find a design that you definitely resonate with.

Arm

When it comes to arm tats, the old school designs that are often linked with sailors are on a comeback. Think about nautical stars and anchors. The only difference with sailor designs then and now is that you can have these symbols look 3-D. But the classic male ruggedness is still there.

Tribal designs are also popular as arm tattoos. These ink arts look mysterious but at the same time the monotonous use of black ink make them look amazingly sleek. The best tribal designs to draw inspiration from are from the Maori and the Samoa tribes.

Chest

The chest is a perfect canvass for getting a tattoo. The reason for this is because there is more flesh to work with so the artist is free to recreate the design that you want without having to worry about not having enough space. With a chest tattoo, men are allowed to be more sensitive when it comes to the design since it is rarely seen by people (unless you're a lifeguard by profession).

Symbols like the heart or the cross are chosen for their significance. Putting a crown of thorns around the heart can depict a man who does not want to be bothered by love, or a stone heart can mean an avowed bachelor. For guys who aren't scared to let their feelings show, having the name of a wife or a girlfriend is a great way to show one's affection.

Animals are ancient symbols of strength. The scorpion is one of those animals. Ancient mythology narrates that scorpions are feared by mortals and gods alike, and that its image is supposed to bring protection.

Sleeves

Sleeve tattoos are not for the faint-hearted. Basically, the whole upper arm is the canvass for such kind of tattoo. Because of the size and visibility of the tat that you will be getting, a great deal of thought should go into the design. Japanese designs are the most popular. A dragon wrapped around one's upper arm will not only accentuate well-defined biceps and triceps but also exude strength and wisdom.

The tattoo industry is no longer dominated by men. These days, many women and teenage girls are interested in body art as well. A contributing factor to this is the number of female celebs who are getting tattoos. Other women feel inspired to get them as well. Tattooing is more mainstream than it's ever been, and more men and women get designs inked into their skin every day. There are some famous tattoo designs that many women really love, such as fairies, flowers, Kanji characters, dolphins, butterflies, and so forth.

If you are a woman who is considering a tattoo, you are probably wondering what the best choices are. You probably have a few ideas, but aren't for sure whether they are really for you. It's important to choose something that you not only like, but something that represents your personality. Many people choose designs that have special meaning to them.

If you need some inspiration, here are some famous tattoo choices for women.

Butterflies: These are probably the most popular choice among girls. Butterflies can be very pretty. They look lovely no matter what color their wings are, so you have a lot to choose from.

Flowers: Obviously, flowers are popular with women because they are often associated with femininity. Popular choices include roses, lilies, cherry blossoms, and daisies. Flowers all have meanings, so choose one that represents you.

Tribal art: These designs are something that men and women both choose. Women usually get them on their lower backs. If you want to get one on your arm, your best bet is to go with a tribal armband design.

Celestial art: Stars and shooting stars are some of the most famous tattoo designs for women. Stars obviously convey symbolic meanings, not to mention they are very beautiful. Whether you want a simple shooting star or a bunch of small, sparkling stars, your choices are endless.

Fairies: Fairies are usually depicted as cute, tiny girls with glittery wings and wands. Tinkerbell of course is the most famous tattoo fairy, although these little creatures can be drawn in any style imaginable. Many female celebs like Britney Spears have fairy tattoos.

Hearts: This is the symbol of love and is a popular choice for women of all ages. You can get a heart by itself, inked with any color, or have it incorporated into a larger tattoo with other elements, such as a dagger, ribbon, or flower.

Dolphins: Dolphins are a beautiful creature that many humans feel a connection to. Even though they live in the sea, they are still mammals, and are thought to be highly intelligent. Some say that dolphins symbolize healing and rebirth. There are a number of famous tattoo designs featuring dolphins from which you can choose.

Dragonfly: Another creature that many women like getting as tattoos. Despite being insects, dragonflies are well liked and viewed as lovely. Some women choose to get dragonfly tattoos simply because of the way they look, and don't attach any deep meaning to them.

These are just some of the most famous tattoo choices for women! Hopefully, you can find something that conveys your personality while looking great on you!
