Who said florals are only for feminine designs and themes? Contradicting the common belief, black lion tattoo designed in the floral rounded design are very masculine and popular. As you can see above, the design is absolutely magical, with its beautiful petals encapsulating the strong lion face at the centre. We love this design and the symmetry of it and the hand-sketched touch of the detailing on the petals. Creative, to say the least, this design sure stands out from the rest. It also symbolizes the meaning of wisdom, love, beauty and elegance.

• Best for: With the lion face as the main theme, this one’s again male-centred. However, women can also opt for this beauty and tweak the design to be centred around a lioness’s face instead.
• Preferable ink: Go with the monochrome theme and shaded look. Use black contrasting shades to ink the impact the design deserves.
• Where: The lower leg or the upper arm is ideal for this design. If you’re keen on a lion neck tattoo only, a smaller variant of it could also work on the neck area.
• Size: It would look best in medium to small sizes.
• Skin tone: Fair, Wheatish and brown skin tones would be suitable.

Additional Tips for Lion Tattoos:

• Remember that getting inked is no child’s play. The design you choose remains with you mostly throughout your life. So do your research and pick a design thoughtfully. Be patient and don’t take brisk decisions about the design.
• Choose a design that resonates with an important aspect of you as a person, your existence, your family or life in general. This could be a personality trait (e.g., lion-like qualities explored above), name or symbol of your spouse, child, mom etc., your sun-sign, an ancestry symbol and the like. Something that means immensely to you now is more likely to stay relevant even in the future.
• Please pick a reputed and experienced tattoo artist and studio. Talk to him clearly about what you want and let him guide you with what he/she can do best in the respect.
