While considering to get inked, most women opt for subtle designs. However, this trend is fast changing as more and more women are choosing the bold and beautiful lion designs. There are several reasons for the rise in popularity of this design among women. One of the reason is that these majestic animals have been a part of the religion, mythology, and art of various cultures. However, the main reason for this graceful animal to have become popular with women is that there are a variety of designs to choose from, each one loaded with various meanings.
Designs
You can choose a lion body art design according to your taste and preferences. Your body art can be a big one or a small one. While there are many people who like to have the whole lion on their body, there are others who think that just the face of this animal looks grand and magnificent. One among the many designs is the picture of a lion with its habitat in the background. You can have a large, full-bodied lion tattoo with a lush Savannah or jungle in its background. Apart from this, you also have the option to go for a design that is colorful (where all its facial features are highlighted with the help of different colors) or that which has a monotone. Here are some lion body art designs for girls that have become a craze in the recent times.
Leo, the Astrological Sign:
Girls who are born under this astrological sign, i.e., between July 23 and August 22, prefer to have a lion inked on their body, as it represents the qualities that are attributed to their zodiac sign. This animal represents the Sun and is said to have its exact characteristics. People born under the Leo sign are said to be strong, fearless, and willful.Religious Lion Tattoos:
These body art designs are also quite popular amongst women. The religious manifestation of the lion can be seen in the Bible's Book of Genesis, where it is referred to as the Lion of Judah. This is a full-bodied lion design, wearing a crown and holding a flag. In Christianity, the Lion of Judah represents Jesus Christ; whereas in Ethiopia, it is believed to be the symbol of the Emperor of Ethiopia.Lion Portraits:
Lion Cubs:
It has been observed that the majority of women prefer the adorable lion cubs as body art designs. Lion cubs have spots on their body, and are very playful as well as cheerful. One of the most popular lion cub design is that of Simba, the character from the animated movie The Lion King.
Meanings
Lion body art is commonly made on the arms, shoulders, or on the back of the neck. However, these tattoos also look good on the thighs, legs, and back as well. Before you choose a design, make sure that it completely represents your attitude and personality. Also, make sure you go only to a professional and experienced tattoo artist who can do justice to the wonderful design that you have chosen for yourself.
