The tiger is an animal present in Asian culture and protagonist of many indigenous cultures. This animal is a symbol of strength, power, passion, speed and sensuality.
In the East, the tiger is associated with the power of the kings, similar meaning as the lion has in Europe. At Hinduism, King Shiva is represented in a suit with tiger skin. In ChinaTigers are also symbols that protect from evil and are used as amulets to protect the home. It is not strange to see in some homes the heads of a tiger when entering the houses.
If you choose to tattoo the body of this fierce animal in full, the best part of your body to do it is the back, for its breadth. If, on the contrary, you prefer only the animal's head, the legs are a perfect place for it.
You choose the place and design, here we give you a guide and we show you some aspects and curiosities that you might not know about tattoos, but we also want to give you advice so that the process of performing a tattoo is satisfactory and you do not regret of it.
Go to a place that is conditioned for that purpose, that has a license, that uses disposable materials. Once done, you must follow a series of instructions to take care of it during the first few days. Your tattoo artist will advise you the cream and the care you should follow. It's not about making a tattoo and forgetting about it, you should take care of your skin. Research your city and look for a good tattoo artist. We do not talk only about hygiene measures, it is about the person being professional and knowing how to do their job perfectly. It is not easy to tattoo and not all the results are perfect, what is certain is that they will be forever. Do not play it and check out these tattoos whose main motif is the tiger!
This design has designs of various types. On the one hand we can see sea water and on the other hand an enraged tiger with several flowers of different colors at the bottom. Everyone knows the meaning of tattooing one of these beasts.
Tiger breeding. The previous tiger in the previous photo is much more real. This looks like a stuffed animal. It has the eyes of a color that I would like to have them to me. There is nothing else to highlight about this design.
Design of a tiger's head on this boy's arm. If you pay a little attention to the tattoo, you realize that it is very real. It is the first one we see in this gallery but I am sure that not everyone is as real as this. If you are looking for it to seem real, this is a perfect example.
A tiger lurking among branches tattooed on the back. A tattoo of a feline that includes nature. On the back it also has another design with a phrase but I don't recognize what language it belongs to.
Very original this design of the footprint of an animal filled with the face of a tiger. This tattoo tattooed in the center of the back has a medium difficulty since it has to make it look as real as possible. In this case, the tattoo artist has achieved it although nothing compared to the one we saw earlier.
Triangular design of the head of a tiger. I don't have much knowledge about math and I think this triangle has some relationship with it. If any user of this blog knows anything about it, write a comment and I will modify this article. This feline is not as real as the previous ones.
Tattoo of a fierce tiger showing its claws. An angry furious tattooed on the arm of a boy. So far we have not seen too many women with these tattoos.
Great design of a tiger with its back tattooed across the chest. Again another furious tiger resting on several stones. It starts in the chest and ends in the belly, a little lower than the navel. This man also has other designs on the right arm. The left cannot say that he has more, although normally the person who becomes one always becomes many. Thanks to Luis for sending us this photo!
Excellently made this design of a tiger that looks real. Magnificent use of orange, black and white inks. There are other colors but the most important are those. It is the first we see in the forearm but I think it will not be the last we see in this part of the body.
This tattoo of a tiger resting between branches, some of them not yet colored, is not yet finished. We believe that it is not ending yet although it may happen that the tattoo is just like that.
Excellent and fierce design of the head of a tiger. We do not know that it is the blue line that surrounds the upper part of the tattoo. We can see the teeth of this animal as in most of these drawings.
Tribal style design. Made with fire. The meaning of this tattoo is the mixture of the meaning of fire and tiger. Fire is worship and the tiger is power among other things. Despite this we have already said many times in this blog that the meaning depends on each person. Perhaps for me, fire symbolizes love and for my friend just the opposite.
This design occupies the shoulder and back and shows a great design of the head of a very realistic tiger. We can see many details in this tattoo. The nose, the fangs, the rest of the teeth and the eyes among others.

Nice image of a tiger with a beautiful landscape in the background. Mountains, a landscape of nature and some waterfalls and all this mixed with some Japanese letters. A very complete tattoo, perhaps the most complete and with more diverse drawings so far.
Nice design of a tiger that comes out of this boy's shoulder. In my opinion the color is not suitable for tattooing a feline. It is a color too dark and does not correspond to the tigers of the jungle.
Funny tattoo of a tiger with a childlike look and even lively with big blue eyes. This image has been the one we have chosen in the main article. A good design if you are a woman.

This tiger, who has wanted to give light and power in his eyes, looks more like a cat.
The tiger we see on the screen is a female with a metal plate hanging from her neck from those used in the army for soldiers. The tattoo is too giant, in my opinion.
Two large designs on both sides of the chest and each occupying one arm. On one side we see a tiger with large claws surrounded by green leaves and a blue background tone.
I am not sure about it but I think this same motif has already appeared in this gallery before.
This very original image shows the contour of a butterfly filled with the face of a tiger surrounded by pink flowers.
The tiger in this image seems to tear the skin and leave it.
We cannot say that this angry tiger's face looks very real.
A Maori or Mayan design with a tiger is not a good mix. In my opinion it is too large and the color mix is ​​not correct.

Again, simple black lines create a beautiful tattoo of a tiger.
We can include this tattoo in the Japanese style since the motifs that appear in this photograph are very common within that style. They are usually reasons that occupy a fairly large area of ​​the body.

Summary
Most tattooed body areas | Parts where it is allowed to have a large tattoo. We highlight the arm, shoulder, back and chest. |
Most used colors or inks | The colors of the tigers are the most common but also the black ink as almost always. |
More men or more women? Is it a female or male tattoo? | It is a very masculine tattoo and most people who tattoo a tiger are men although there are some women than others. |
What is their size? Are they usually large, small or medium? | Medium and large. |
Symbolism or meaning of these motives | Depending on the culture, it symbolizes one thing or another. In China it symbolizes power and energy among other things. In others, honor or divinity. |
Medium difficulty of designs | Medium difficulty, nothing complicated since they are large except for those who have sought to obtain a certain similarity with the reality that they do have enough difficulty and not any tattoo artist can do them. |
What does a girl think about these designs?
Perhaps with the tigers something similar to what happens with the lions happens, that the reason that leads people to choose them is more for meaning than for aesthetics, even though they are both beautiful animal designs and that look good as tattoos. I like tigers tattoos for us, on the back or why not on the legs?
