Cat Tattoos
Cat tattoos are a design that means different things to different people. Cat tattoos are often used by individuals who have a special love for this animal and have also been used by some as a symbol of good luck. The interpretation of this design is often best left to the individual, but there are some universal qualities that we can associate with it. The cat can be seen as symbol of good luck and good fortune, or as bad omen. To the ancient Egyptians the cat was a sacred animal. It was important both in ritual and in daily life.
In fact, the cat was so important that anyone who killed one was often sentenced to death. The black cat is also revered in many European countries where it is viewed as a symbol of good luck. Black cats in the United States have a completely different meaning and are generally symbolic of bad fortune. So, if your thinking of getting a black cat tattoo design you might want to think twice to avoid any misconceptions about this tattoo. Many people choose to get a cat tattoo merely because they consider themselves to be cat people. These individuals often have their favorite breed inked into their skin and may even ink a particular cat that they may own. |
