Why Would Someone Wish To Get Cat Tattoos?
April Castro
Tattoos are becoming a common art form nowadays. Many people are doing it out of artistry while some are simply for the fun of it. What used to be a distinguishing mark for barbarians and criminals in the olden days now became a symbol of enthusiasm and or emotion for many people.Cats, or parts of it, are probably one of the most sought after tattoo designs by both women and men. Many people wish to have a photo of a whole cat tattooed on their skin, while some want to make use of a specific part, like a tail, paw, whiskers or just the stripes. While the meaning and reasons why this sort of design was chosen will vary, here are a few of the probable reasons why a specific design is chosen.
Historical cat facts...
Cats have two unique historical importances. In the ancient times, specifically for the Egyptians, cats are considered gods, guardians and are a symbol of wealth as they're mostly incorporated on ancient hieroglyphics and writings on the walls, vases and other crucial ornaments on those times. In Medieval periods however, cats are associated with witchcraft, magic and bad luck. The young generation though, thinks cats as feline friends that are sweet and cuddly.
These differences put those who wish to have cats as tattoos in a quandary and question how people would react after seeing the design. This is specifically true since each person has their own interpretation about cats in general. Even so, people who're cat lovers or those that simply like the look of a cat on their skin have the power to decide.
Some people want to have the whole animal drawn on their skin. If you're a girl who wishes to have a tattoo but still wants it to look sweet, you can have a curled up cute little house cat tattoo. A black panther making a walking or striking stance on a female will truly look sexy and gives the idea of being sexy and warm. A ferocious feline on a manís arm or back will give a feeling of anger and ferocity.
For some other individuals, whiskers and paws and also tails may work perfectly if put on great locations anywhere in the body. A sleek cattail drawn from tailbone entirely up to the spine gives the impression of a cat living inside your body. A paw, regardless of size, will always appear to be a cat simply gave you a pat or a standing hug.
Whatever a person's drive and inspiration for deciding to have a photo of a cat tattooed on his/her skin, it is always vital to keep in mind that although tattoo designs can now visually and surgically removed, your skin and look will never be the same once you got a tattoo.
