Tribal tiger tattoos
Tiger tattoo designs
In Asia tattoos hold significance other than for appearances. Tattoos are said to be the link between the physical and spiritual bodies of a human being. Most people believe tattoos are an outward manifestation of the inner being; therefore the tiger is representative of a forceful nature equal only to the dragon. There are 5 tigers that rule the cosmic forces in Chinese lore.
Tiger tattoo
* The RED tiger is the symbol of the south, of summer and fire.
* The BLACK tiger is the symbol of the north, of winter and water.
* The BLUE tiger is the symbol of the east, of spring and vegetation.
* The WHITE tiger is the symbol of the west, of fall and all metals.
* The YELLOW tiger, the greatest of the 5 is the ruler of the Earth and everything on it.
There are also 5 different sub-species.
* BENGAL
* SUMATRAN
* SIBERIAN
* INDOCHINESE
* SOUTH CHINA
These could easily be incorporated into a very distinct, one of a kind tattoo steeped in symbolism.
One of the twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac is the tiger. Those born in the year of the tiger are said to be colorful, unpredictable, powerful and passionate. The zodiac symbol done in tribal tattoo style would make for an eye - catching conversation piece. This tattoo could practically be as small or large as you wish it to be as the zodiac symbol can be made smaller without losing too much picture quality.
To create the tribal tiger tattoos one could begin by marrying traditional tribal work with traditional Japanese (In Asia, the tiger is the master of all big cats.), this would be a very colorful and detailed piece to show the best of both styles. The traditional Japanese work is done in vivid color and detail, while traditional tribal is single color; (typically dark, as the original tribal work was done with whatever suitable pigment could be found.) with varying degrees of detailed patterns.
These tattoos work very well with the cats natural black stripe pattern, making them re-creatable to an almost life-like degree. The amber/golden, almost molten color of the tiger-eye would be striking against an all black tribal piece. Putting a little extra effort and thought will give you a showpiece to enjoy and show off to others for a lifetime.

The tribal lion tattoo is chosen by people who have placed a lot of time and thought into the design of their tattoo. With it being the king of beasts, it can and does represent many character traits. Some of them being:
· WISDOM · AUTHORITY · COURAGE · JUSTICE
· POWER · CUNNING · NOBILITY · ROYALTY
Tattoo lion Leo
This is one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. He is the Leo, the sign of the sun (26th July – 23rd Aug.). The astral symbols are very popular in tribal tattoo so it should be easy to combine these styles into some stunning tribal tattoos. While the typical colors for tribal work are dark, any colors can be chosen to add to the uniqueness of your piece.
This design also has a great religious significance, with Jesus being called “the Lion of Judah” and the tribe of Judah being symbolized by a lion. Even today the lion of Judah is on the emblem of Jerusalem. So it is not uncommon for people to express their spirituality through a combination of lions and tribal tattoo.
These tattoos can be single design with its mane being entirely tribal or multiple lions with their limbs or manes being the tribal design. Armbands Tattoo and sleeves tattoo or partial sleeves tattoo are the most popular locations for tribal work, with backs tattoo, calves and thighs coming close.
A tribal lion tattoo can also be designed as a memorial for a loved one. Especially if your loved one was born under the sign of Leo or if this person had the same qualities attributed to the great beast. These can be practically as small or large as you want them, however with smaller patterns there is some distortion of animals and tribal work.
Lion Tattoo are also seen as dream symbols as they were nocturnal hunters and walkers of the night. One idea to meld the tribal style with a lion would be to place a lion inside a dream catcher. With the right color choices this could be a very eye-catching design.
A little research will take you a long way towards getting the tattoo that is just what you are looking for. Don’t get discouraged on your search; every truly unique tattoo was born in a process from life event to application of the tattoo that immortalizes it. These can become permanent tributes to the major events of your life much like the tribes of old told the story of their lives on their skin.

Tattoos for girls Ultimate Tattoo Collection
For the first half century after tattooing became commonplace there were few tattoos for girls. In fact, except for the small handful of rebellious women, many girls got tattooed at all.
But, all of that changed about twenty five years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so the girl tattoo became more common and acceptable. Nowadays you see a whole genre of tattoos for girls. I would say the list of the top tattoos for girls would have to include butterflies tattoo, fairies tattoo, stars tattoo, hearts tattoo, flowers tattoo, dolphins tattoo and fish tattoo. But other popular tattoos for girls are tribal tattoo, Celtic tattoo and Zodiac tattoo designs. And the prime location for these tattoos would be the wrist tattoo, leg tattoo, lower back tattoo and even the breast tattoo. The tattoo in the picture is a perfect example of a tattoo for girls. It features a butterfly tattoo that is done with plenty of color and shading. It’s placed on this women’s breast in just the perfect position to highlight both the design and the natural curvature of her breast. I bet if you put your mind into it you could also find a design that fits your style and body shape.

Tribal Butterfly Tattoo Ideas
When choosing the tribal tattoo you require, you may decide that the bold line designs are basically not for you. it is commonplace; every young woman is doing it. they are all wearing those tribal tattoos with lines that are taken from symbols of the Maori, Aztec and Eskimo cultures. there's lots of other types of designs that these cultures incorporated in to their works of art. lots of of these represented animals and of those showed the beauty and development of certain creatures. This is where the idea came from for tribal butterfly tattoo designs. These images of beauty have been used by tattoo artists to encourage self expression while making each butterfly a symbol of love, growth and alter.
four of the things about the tribal butterfly tattoo designs is that they represent symmetry shape. they are not merely lines drawn. they are delicate and elegant, showing those who wear them, those who are admiring them, that they are making a significant statement. This is why the choice of where to put this tattoo is equally as important. lots of women pick to put it in their lower backs. that is considered a sexy place to have a tattoo. Others prefer on the thigh, back of the neck or even the upper arm. The important thing is to put it where you are sure you can enjoy it for years to come.

Why Do YOU Tattoo?
People representing all walks of life choose to tattoo, but like snowflakes, no two tattooing “stories” are the same.
For instance, many individuals decide to tattoo as a result of a major life event. They get divorced, get married, have a child, start a relationship, graduate from college, or lose a precious loved one. As an outward depiction of their inner emotions (which may be either positive or negative), they add a new dimension to their bodies in the form of tattoo designs.
However, not all tattoos are the culmination of a tragedy or exciting experience. Some are simply a fun reminder of a “what the heck” moment. On vacation, a couple is walking by a tattoo parlor and they spot fun tattoo designs displayed in the window. Eyebrows raised and smiling slyly, they look at one another… and walk into the tattoo shop to do something “outrageous” and utterly spontaneous. In an hour, they come out; grinning from ear-to-ear and sporting twin tattoos… something they might never have done had they been at home.
Another common reason for tattoos is the influence of alcoholic beverages. It’s no secret that many tattoos are the result of a night visiting bars or partying with friends. Usually, the person who awakens with a headache and a beautiful tattoo design is bewildered at first (and perhaps a little angry with him- or herself), but the tattoo usually becomes a great conversation starter.
Finally, there are numerous people of both genders who tattoo to make a statement about themselves and the world around them. They tattoo in unusual places – their faces, their upper necks, and their genitalia. Or they pick tattoo designs that are political or emotional in nature, intended to “shock” the folks who see them. For these guys and gals, tattoos are much more than decorations.
So… why do YOU tattoo?
