The roar of a lion is an amazing sound and is without doubt loud and frightening, and is able to transmit the images of strength, courage and power. The lion has been held in high regard for these exact qualities for thousands of years, representing these attributes in almost every culture throughout the ages. The symbol of royalty it is also considered royalty among the animal kingdom, "The King of Beasts".
When choosing a lion tattoo most people tend to select a realistic looking lion image. You can have a calm, perhaps regal looking lion or maybe one baring its teeth, in a thunderous roar. The talent of the tattoo artist will decide just how beautiful or realistic the lion image appears on your skin.
A tattoo can be created to almost any size within reason, and lion tattoos are no different, you can have just the head of the lion or you could have the whole lion inked into your skin. You can have a lion tattoo that is only a few inches across or one that takes up the back or front of your torso entirely and of course anything in between. The design and size of the tattoo is entirely up to you too.
There is also the option to have a tattoo with more intricately drawn detail if you have the animal portrayed in a natural environment; the African plains or a partial jungle scene can be used to create an imaginative and artistic background lending definition and life to your lion tattoo. Selecting a more complex tattoo design such as this will make the lion stand out even more by the use of a more colourful background.
Lion tattoos are a fantastic way of projecting an image of strength and power because they are graceful yet fierce creatures. Provided you select the right design and have it applied by a skilled tattoo artist you can proudly display a symbol of strength and power on your skin. You can enjoy being in the company of royalty and many others who have used the image of the lion to symbolize power, authority and the highest of standards.
