Tiger and dragon tattoo design |
In Japanese tattoos, the tiger is sometimes partnered with a dragon to symbolize heaven and earth: yin and yang. To the right here is a great example of that combination. This tattoo design was very remarkably done by the artist and obviously is very symbolic and meaningful to this young lady.
In China the tiger is considered the king of all beasts (not the lion) and represents powerful energy. In certain areas of China the tiger is considered the God of Wealth.

Angelina Jolie getting her tiger tattoo inked by hand |
Angelina Jolie had this 12-inch long, 8-inch wide Bengal tiger tattoo on her lower back done in Bangkok in 2004, during a 2 hour session by tattoo artist Sompong Kanhphai who also blessed it by chanting an ancient hymn.
It took two hours to complete the tattoo because Angelina opted for a traditional Thai tattooing style. Purely by hand, the tattoo artist maneuvered a long needle that glides inside a hollow tube, delicately inking the skin manually.
This tiger tattoo accompanies an iroquois design, a tribal dragon design, as well as a window design which she covered up the by tiger's tail.

The tattoo here is another example of the tiger being paired with the dragon tattoo design, symbolizing heaven and earth. This artwork was also very craftily inked by a very talented artist.

Combining menace, danger, power, strength and beauty into a single symbol, tigers can represent many different things to different people and have a rich history in many cultures in India, China and South East Asia that connects them to religions, myths and even historical figures.
