There are a number of reasons to get a lion tattoo. Symbolically they represent pride, strength, and kingdom over one’s domain. Those who follow astrology and are born in the period between July 23 and August 23 may also choose to get a lion tattoo to signify their sign (Leo). Alternatively you may simply adore the large feline. Whatever the case may be, you are on the prowl for lion tattoo ideas regarding design and placement.

Examples of Lion Tattoo Designs Done at Adrenaline Studios to Inspire Your Own
Rosey Twist on Androcles and the Lion
This is a unique take on the Androcles and the Lion fable which teaches us that gratitude and compassion are the signs of a noble soul. The lion with a thorn in its paw is a little too literal, but the rose infers the tale and provides for a more beautiful aesthetic. This one works well on the forearm or back of the calve muscle.

Lion Armor
As a tattoo, armor symbolizes nobility, readiness to stand up and fight for one’s beliefs, honor, and valor. When the armor is adorned with a lion it represents the highest ideal of all of these things. 3 dimensional lions heads decorated armor back in the 15th century at the onset of the Renaissance period, and remain to be statement making pieces today. Since you can’t walk around in a suit of lion armor without drawing suspicion from authorities (it’s also a pain to use the restroom) you may as well get it tattooed. A chest-plate which connects to the shoulder guard is an undeniably cool concept.

Blended Concepts
Lion tattoo designs are generally either realistic renditions of the beast, or a statue of the beast. While settle for just one? Instead, create a whole sleeve to feature both concepts.

Voluminous Mane
The highlighting feature of a male lion is its unmistakable mane. Go big, bold, beautiful, and voluminous as if the King of the Jungle just got back from a blowout treatment at the salon. Choose a part of your body with significant canvas, such as the shoulder, thigh, or chest.
