Paw Print Tattoo

Most seasoned tattoo getters know that, when one decides to get themselves inked, they don't necessarily need to stick to one design as one has the option to experiment with a number of tattoo designs. The most primary concern of the person getting inked, aside from the design, should be what the design means, as many times, tattoo designs have hidden second meanings.

Meaning

Paw tattoos are not only look pretty but also are rustic enough to be worn by men. Although like I said, sometimes there is a second meaning behind the design but this doesn't mean all paw print designs have an ulterior meaning. Only certain paw designs have hidden meanings, and unless you want to convey the meaning, I suggest you look into the different paw print designs and meanings. The best thing about this tattoo is that you can design it in your own way. Tattoos mean different things to different people, so while one person may get a paw tattoo just because he/she likes the design, another may get it as a totem or as a tribute to his/her pet. Some people, on the other hand, really read into tattoo meanings. For instance, some people consider a bear paw tattoo to represent a person's sexual orientation. A paw tattoo of a bear cub is taken to mean that the person is new to being gay, but then again these are all individual notions.

Different Designs

In case one is not sure of a design, it is best to get temporary tattoos that look real. Eventually you will find a tattoo that 'speaks to you.' Like most tattoo designs, paw tattoos can be inked anywhere on the body, depending on how visible you want it to be and the pain factor (yes, there are some areas that hurt a lot!)

Tattoo on the Chest
Tattoos on the chest are a favorite among many celebrities. The famous female rapper, Eve, in fact has two very strategically placed paw tattoos. Rib cage tattoos for girls are a rage among young girls these days, and a paw design in the chest area, not only has an erotic appeal but is also simple and discrete. When it comes to chest tattoos, men often get heart tattoos with names with a paw print incorporated in the design.

Tattoo on the Shoulder
If you want to get a tattoo in one of the least painful places, then the shoulder is just the perfect place. Shoulder tattoos for women can beautifully incorporate paw prints along with any other design. Tiger tattoos are popular among men, especially designs with intricate paw designs which are supposed to signify masculinity.

Tattoo on the Wrist
If someone just wants a simple paw tattoo inked, then a wrist tattoo is a good choice for it. Often, wrist tattoos are conversation starters, and the best thing about these tattoos, is that both men and women can sport this tattoo, without risking a too masculine or feminine look.

Tattoo on the Thigh
Tattoos on the thigh are the best option for people who want to have the option of hiding the tattoo whenever they want. Usually such tattoos are common among women. Wing tattoo designs can also incorporate a paw print, and these usually are worn as a remembrance to a recently deceased pet.

Tattoo on the Hip
Many women get hip tattoos with paw designs interwoven into other designs and these tattoos are often suggestive. Paw tattoos of lions and tigers often imply the wearers sexual prowess, though many hardcore animal lovers consider paw tattoos on hip offensive.

Tattoo on the Foot
Of the many tattoo ideas for girls, the most sought after are ankle tattoos for women and many women choose these, as just a small paw on the ankle can look amazing. Many different kinds of foot tattoos for women can incorporate paw print tattoos in them.

In the end, no matter what design you choose or where you decide to place it, always follow the basic tattoo care to ensure that your tattoo will always look fabulous!
