All about the puma tattoo

The image of a cougar is often captured on body images. You can find out below what this image means, what message it carries in itself and who suits it best.

Puma is a wild animal that belongs to the feline family. She leads a solitary life, has a wayward character, gracefulness, plasticity and dangerous beauty. Since ancient times, this wild animal has caused both admiration and fear in humans. Despite this, cougars attacked people extremely rarely, for the most part their main delicacy was livestock.

The interpretation of the image of a cougar, which is quite often found on tattoos for both girls and men, is mostly positive.

So, the image of this wild cat means the ability to adapt, to become "your own" in a new company and find a way out of even the most difficult situations. This interpretation is due to the fact that the adaptation of the cougar to new conditions does not take much time.

Another interpretation of this image is independence and self-sufficiency. Cougars, as a rule, live alone, unlike the same lions. The male and the female, of course, can be combined in a pair, but this happens only during the mating season. The rest of the time, each of these predators has its own territory, which he jealously guards, trying to prevent the appearance of strangers on it. A person who has a tattoo depicting a cougar is usually also self-sufficient and independent of other people, he is comfortable alone, he does not need someone else's attention for successful functioning.

In addition, the image of a cougar symbolizes strength and power, because these are quite brave animals that are good hunters. Few animals are capable of competing with them in this regard.

It is worth saying that the cougar tattoo is universal. It suits both women and men. However, most often such a body pattern is made by the fair sex, because the image of a cougar only emphasizes their femininity, natural beauty and grace. Men, for the most part, prefer tattoos that depict the image of a lion or a tiger.

A cougar tattoo can be done in different styles. Among them, the most effective style is realism. Such images are usually very detailed and look quite naturalistic and natural. For the most part, when depicting drawings in this style, great attention is paid to the eyes of the cougar, which are distinguished by their depth. However, the drawing itself in such a style solution is quite difficult to complete, and therefore not every tattoo artist undertakes such work.

Of course, realism is not the only style that is very popular. Such an image, made in the styles, looks quite original:

• watercolor;
• new school or old school;
• graphics;
• geometry;
• dotwork.

If we talk about the plot component of the tattoo, then there is plenty to choose from.

• Drawings where the puma is depicted in full growth are very popular. As a rule, this wild cat is in dynamics: it either sneaks, or makes a jump, or moves in any direction. All this is due to the increased activity of this predatory animal in real life. Puma, who is in a relaxed state and resting, is rarely depicted on tattoos.

• No less popular is the image in which only the head of the animal is present. It can be drawn in detail and clearly or only in outline - it only depends on the preferences of the owner.

• In addition, the mood of the beast plays a special role in such images. Most often, the puma is depicted creeping somewhere, while her gaze is directed forward. This image symbolizes strength, power, the desire to move towards your goal, despite possible difficulties.

• The image of a cougar with a grin looks spectacular. Such a drawing means independence, courage, the ability to defend oneself, if required.

• In addition, the image of a cougar can be supplemented with various elements: flowers and various vegetation, natural landscape, inscriptions - all this depends only on the preferences of a person.

When choosing the location of the tattoo, people are usually guided by its shape and size.

So, if the image looks oblong, then it is better to place it in the area of ​​the arm or shoulder, leg or ribs. Drawings made in the style of minimalism will look spectacular on the neck, chest or collarbone.

If the image is large, then in this case it should be placed either on the back or on the chest.
