Sharing many aspects of symbolism with the lion, tiger tattoos are a common choice, a combination of beauty and strength. Tigers are the king of animals and a popular symbol in the Eastern world.

Tiger tattoo art can have the following symbolic meaning (besides your own):

* Power and might.
* Pride and beauty.
* Passion and sensuality.
* Cruelty and violence.
* Purity and courage.
* In Japan, the samurai used the tiger as an emblem, for obvious reasons.
* Tiger images and statues are used to ward off evil spirits and bring luck to families and businesses.
* In some cultures, tigers are believed to punish sinners.
This being said, ask yourself the question why you would want a tiger tattoo. Tiger tattoos, and especially tribal tiger tattoos, are or have been (90s) very popular, please don't get one because it's fashionable.

Does the animal have a special meaning to you? If so, tiger tattoo designs might be a good choice for you, but if not, drop the idea.

Usually a tattoo of a tiger is quite large because of the nature of the image.If you don't have a tiger in your heart, you might start regretting your tattoo some day (and let me tell you, tattoo removal is not easy, nor cheap on such a large tattoo). Think before you ink, don't go to the tattoo parlor and buy the first tattoo design you kind of like, tattoo art is supposed to stay on your body forever.
