Tattoo "Lion" for girls

The "Lion" tattoo for girls, designed by real masters, refutes the widespread misconception that this image belongs exclusively to the male sex. This applies not only to the non-trivial interpretation of the sketch, which depicts jewelry, a mane with braids or flowers. In the broadest sense of this tattoo, a proud animal indicates undoubted leadership qualities, the presence of the owner of strength and will. The tattoo can have other meanings, which are determined by the state of the animal, the details of the picture and the place of its placement on the body.

The prevailing stereotypes in the skill of tattooing are destroyed over time, and the division of images into male and female is gradually becoming a thing of the past. In choosing a suitable sketch, versatility is increasingly important, the ability to post information about personal qualities and preferences, life position, prejudices and fears from which amulets are required on the body.

The image of animals, real or mystical, has long meant the existence in the population of a cult, totem or fetish associated with an animal, however, the meaning of the picture may be opposite to the original meaning. Let's look at a few examples:

• in early Christianity, Jesus Christ is often depicted in the form of a lion, and in the Bible the predator has already become a companion of the Apostle Mark;
• in Judaism, the lion symbolizes power and cruelty, the dual unity of earth and air, is often depicted with wings;
• among Buddhists, it is the protector of the law and the Buddha.

Tattoo "Lion" for girls can be performed in the Egyptian tradition: in the image of the lioness goddess Sekhmet, symbolizing the inevitable retribution for the evil inflicted.Another lion is stuffed in the form of a two-headed animal, two pairs of eyes of which look in different directions. Such an image symbolizes the line between day and night (sunset and dawn) or indicates that a woman is well aware of her location between the past and the future, on a thin line of objectively existing reality.

The dualism of the image can be traced clearly: lioness Sekhmet - justice and cruelty, among African tribes, a lion means creation and destruction, a two-headed predator looking to the sides - sunset and dawn, future and past.

The peculiarity of the image lies in its polyvariety, the ability to give the necessary meaning, choosing a good or evil expression, full or partial, schematic or realistically drawn... Increasingly, you can find a multicolored symbolic image, equipped with unconventional accessories such as a baseball cap, glasses, with flowers and braids instead of the previous growling grins and disheveled mane.

Choosing a sketch for a woman, you can, focusing on the symbolism, suggest lion in the crown, which means simply the embodiment of self-confidence and spiritual strength, despite the widespread tendency to interpret it as an indication of the inherent egocentrism of a person, a tendency to self-admiration.

Crowned lion - just an associative allusion to his royal position in the animal kingdom. Do not forget the fact that there is such a sign in the zodiacal circle, and the right to such an image naturally appears for everyone who was born under this sign.

Traditionally, a big beast is stuffed by representatives of the stronger sex, and this is regarded as a tendency to proclaim a leadership position, a desire to dominate others. Small tattoos are recommended for women, but there are excellent options that can be used in large format images as well.

• Lion with flowers are regarded as a desire to demonstrate the girl's inherent elegance, grace, beauty. Floral details pacify the image, leaving only beauty and passion, removing cruelty and aggressiveness.

• If the lion is depicted with flowers and a crown, then the woman declares about the harmony existing in her between passion and strength. Although such a tattoo can be regarded ambiguously, for example, as a statement of the desire to dominate a man, emotions, and the world around him. It is also a desire to maintain a stable balance between the emotional and physical spheres.

• A lioness for a woman, especially one depicted with cubs, Is a challenge, positioning the role of the defender of the interests and rights of the weaker sex. A man pricks a lioness with lion cubs as a symbol of a dominant woman who reigned in his life for a long time.

• Interesting solution - couple tattoo with lion and lioness, which is appropriate if there is a strong relationship with a loved one in life.

• Miniature tattoos can be on the fingers, forearms... If a woman opted for a large image, it is generally accepted tradition to choose a non-aggressive image. This is how you can position your inner strength, calmness, beauty and a tendency towards harmony.

• Non-trivial solutions like a lion with glasses, a baseball cap, with a mane braided in braids, - this is nothing more than a striving for shocking and originality. Although now this is also seen as dualism: a combination of feminine strength and weakness, a hint at the same time of spirituality and materiality, inaccessibility and emotional strength.

No one can prevent a person from making an informed choice and using his own body to convey information or proclaim a life credo.Girls who have chosen the image of a lion for this purpose are given only a couple of recommendations: not to use aggressive options, and also not to give preference to a tattoo where the lion is depicted with a mythological character, for example, a dragon. Calmness and regality of a mighty beast is a distinctive feature of a woman's tattoo. It is even better if it is a lioness, protector mother, patroness.

In the modern art of tattooing, as in any other art, there are different styles from which you can choose the simplest or the most complex. The only thing that matters is the woman's desire for the beauty of the image. Its priorities are taken into account: black and white or color version, sketchiness or careful drawing of details. Several current styles can be highlighted.

• old school will always be in trend because of its inherent uniqueness.

• Egyptian... The most peaceful and expressive. The lioness here is a symbol of motherhood, and the lion is the predator and pet of the pharaoh.

• Greek... Has interesting compositional solutions and high-quality rendering of details.

• Geometric... His "strong point" is schematic tattoos made in the manner of a sketch.

• Cartoon... This tattoo depicts a popular cartoon character, recognizable and charming, not necessarily with other characters, although this option is not excluded.

The choice of style can be dictated by the location of the image, its accessibility to prying eyes, size and symbolism. The study of sketches and your own desires must be combined with the recommendations of the master, who has repeatedly seen the result obtained and correlates it with the parameters of the new field for applying the image.

The fantasy of the future owner of a gorgeous image has no limits, there are no special taboos.

• Sleeve with a three-dimensional pattern in the style of old school is a man's privilege, but a lion in an Egyptian or cartoon style is appropriate on a woman's hand, and a small elegant tattoo looks beautiful on a finger. If you place a small tattoo on your wrist, it will look great in clothes with short and long sleeves.

• Lion tattoos are especially popular. on the hipwhere they are almost inaccessible to prying eyes and are designed only for a partner. The same applies to a tattoo on the lower back, but it can be shown by wearing a top or a T-shirt.

• Large image looks good on the back. For him, a black and white version in the Egyptian style is suitable. A half-profile can be placed on the shoulder blade, and a pair of lion and lioness can be placed on the two protruding parts.

• On the shoulder traditionally, non-standard tattoos with peace-loving attributes are placed, on the forearm - a small geometric or watercolor tattoo.

• Tattoos look spectacular on the foot: here the girl's choice is limited only by the size. On the ankle, a small picture will be appropriate, on the calf - a large and well-drawn tattoo, you can multi-figure.

• Size and position of the figure on belly do not matter: it is spacious enough here. A lion or lioness can be placed on its side, closer to the intimate area or on the ribs, partially on the chest or under the breast.

• For application on the neck, this is not the most common choice, as well as on the head, unless the girl shaves her head or removes part of her hair with a typewriter. But on the collarbone, a tattoo will be appropriate, and if you place the drawing thoughtfully, you can beat it by putting on things with a triangle neckline or with one open shoulder.

The indisputable advantages of modern tattoo art are its democracy, the absence of gender barriers. Girls who have been given such an opportunity relatively recently have found freedom of choice and can apply images that were considered a primordially masculine privilege, only slightly adapting them to their own needs.
