Animal Tattoo Designs are estimated to account for 25% of all tattoos. They are one of the most popular group of tattoos as they can range from a small individual butterfly to a tiger in a jungle scene taking up a large area of skin. More often animal tattoo designs are chosen more for the colorful images and not what they symbolize.
For individuals choosing an animal tattoo design they may either feel connected to or identify themselves to that animal because of its qualities or personality. Some may even feel that by having that animal's tattoo on their body that the animals qualities will be transferred to them.
