Another classic Indian tattoo design comes in the form of the teepee. The teepee tattoo has a bunch of nice meanings, but the main one is family. You can get this tattoo to remember family members who have passed or to show that your family means more to you than anything else in the world. Some people even get their family members’ initials on the teepee to make that meaning a bit clearer, but that’s definitely not necessary.

As you probably know, there are many animals that have been revered by Native Americans for centuries. If you want to get a Native American tat with an animal in it, then you will also want to check the meanings that come with that animal. Many people will opt to get an extra Native American symbol along with their animals to make it clearer that they have an Indian tattoo.

Those who want to get a larger piece might opt to get two or more of these Indian tattoo designs, or even get a classic Native American story tattooed on your back or chest. For example, a classic battle might mean a lot to you, in which case you can get a tattoo of a scene from that battle.

Placement of Indian tattoos is sometimes just as important as the designs themselves. In fact, some people opt to get specific designs simply because they fit in the areas of their bodies that they want to get their tattoos. There are some designs that can fit on most parts of your body, but there are others that might look better as a sleeve or, if they’re larger, as arm, back, or chest tattoos.

When you are going over all of your Indian tattoo options, it would be a good idea to think about they would look on different parts of your body. Would your design work well as a chest tattoo? Or maybe it has a wrapping effect and would look better as a wrist or ankle tattoo. This is the type of thing you’ll want to talk to an artist and/or your tattooist about. They can put the image on your skin in different places so you can see where you think it looks best.
