lion tattoo on his back

You like the sound of a lion roaring? They tend to be both loud and fearful. The lion has a traditional reputation for its strength, courage, and power. And these attributes can be found in most cultures all over the world.

The lion has also been a symbol of royalty for thousands of years. The reason is that the lion is "The King of Beasts." The royalty of the animal kingdom.

People who choose to have a lion tattoo usually go for a realistic looking animal. Do you want a calm lion or a lion that's bearing its teeth in a thunderous roar? Any good tattoo artist can create a realistic looking lion on some part of your skin.

The choice of a size for a lion tattoo ranges far and wide. You may just have the lion's head represented. Or you can have the entire animal inked into your skin. Any size you choose, the size is up to you. Want a lion that's just a few inches big or one that covers your entire back or front? Or something in between?

A lion tattoo need not be complicated. Even a single color lion tattoo can look dramatic. Though the best looking tattoos use more than one color. Different colors can be used for the eyes, the mouth, the mane, etc.

One of the things you can do is to have your lion pictured in a natural habitat for lions. Either a jungle or an African plane setting may be used. The colorful background can make the lion stand out even more.

The cost of a lion tattoo, like the cost of any other kind of tattoo, is based on size and intricacy of design. The more the colors, the higher the cost. If you want a large lion with a natural habitat in the background, be prepared to pay for it.

In any case, if you are interested in projecting an image of strength and power, you can't go wrong with a lion tattoo. If the tattoo artist doing the work for you is a good one, you can really have a powerful symbol inked into your skin and displayed on your body. Having such a tattoo also puts you in the company of royal power and authority, because the lion is a symbol of these things.
