About Animals Tattoos
Animal tattoos are among the most popular and meaningful subjects in tattooing, spanning the whole animal kingdom and every style. People choose a creature whose qualities resonate — or simply one they love.
- Rich symbolism: lion (courage), wolf (loyalty), elephant (memory), butterfly (rebirth)
- Works in every style — traditional, color realism, fine-line, geometric, Japanese
- Match the artist to the look — a photoreal lion and a fine-line hummingbird differ
- Fur, feathers and the life in the eyes separate great animal work from flat work
- Scales from a small wrist piece to a full back; flows well on limbs and torso
