A tiger (and subsequently a tiger tattoo) symbolizes combination of strength, courage, and fearlessness. It is regarded for its keen instincts, sharp senses, heightened awareness and intuition, all of which guide inner wisdom. Consequently, a tiger is known to command respect and admiration (and sometimes fear) from those in its presence. You can see why itβs a tattoo concept that works for those who play (or want to play) a leadership role in their life, be it professionally, athletically, socially, and/or in familial roles.
While there are many possible routes to take for a tiger tattoo (i.e. Realism style) you have an appreciation for styles of tattooing that originally brought tigers to focus in North America and around the world. As a result you are hunting for a Traditional tiger tattoo artist near you. If you live within or plan to visit the BC Lower Mainland there is only one shop to consider. Read ahead to find out why and have a look at a few examples of tattoos that just might inspire your own upcoming piece.
