The king of the jungle is the lion and he runs things. From watching documentaries on National Geographic to watching Disney’s, The Lion King, we all know who runs the show in the animal kingdom. However, behind every good man is a good woman and, in this case, we are talking about the lioness. Most would even argue the lioness is really running the show behind the scenes. She is the one who takes care of the cubs. She is the one who does the hunting. The lion would be nothing without the lioness and we are going to talk about why.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. The people that do understand this are the same people that would get the lioness tattoo instead of the lion. They know the lioness is the one that runs the show. But the lioness just stays in the background taking care of business. Her symbol in this world is a very strong one and it’s no wonder people love to get the tattoo of the lioness.

In this article we are going to talk about what makes the lioness such a badass and talk about why she is different than the lion. We’ll also go over the meaning of the lioness tattoo and what it means to the people that wear it. In addition, we will go through some of the different variations of the lioness tattoo and talk about what those symbolize as well. By the end of this post we hope you feel more informed about the matter and maybe get a few more ideas for your lioness tattoo.
