![]() If we go back even further to the Egyptians, the Mayans, the Toltec's and many other ancient societies you will find many many relics about how they worshiped animals. To such an extent that in Egypt they wore masks and clothing of those animals. If we go back to the mighty Mayan empire you will find that the condor played a significant role in their society. some shaman's even say the reason they built the pyramids in south America was to be closer to the flying birds and actually fed the bodies that they sacrificed to the birds namely vultures at the tops of the pyramids, many of these animals were used on their bodies in the form of animal tattoo designs. Have a look at every empire dating back to the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Greeks you name it and animals have been used extensively throughout their history! You doubt me i hear? ok pull up any emblem, calendar or anything relating to stars in the sky and you will find animals play a significant role On every coat of arms for example there is a animal, through out times animals have been used to describe people or tribes. The tribes of Israel were even described using animals.
So as ive pointed out animals have played and continue to play a role in society! perhaps its because we are the only beings on this planet and that animals are really different and alien to everything around us! There is something intriguing about all living things on this planet, im sure you have thought of how the world might appear to an ant or what can dogs see that we cant when you find them barking for no reason. Take for example in India today, the largest population of both Hindus and second most populous country in the world. Hindus pray to cows, cows are vary sacred in India! It is quite amusing to be walking down the road, seeing cows walk in between cars and rickshaws of the busiest roads. Though westerners might find it strange, they think westerners are sinners for eating these sacred animals. When you go about choosing these animal tattoo designs, make sure you have decided where exactly you would like to have this tattoo, what size of the tattoo and most importantly ask yourself what about this animal is inspiring or special? What makes it more unique than any other animal out there? Now don't forget we are not limiting us to merely animal tattoos. But you can also use insects and weird looking bugs like dragon flies In the past i have seen some really good looking spider tattoo designs and tarantula tattoos! They look great i particularly like spider tattoos while i have also seen some really good looking praying mantis tattoos. You are only limited by your imagination with this! You will need to check and verify that your tattoo artist can and has done good looking animal tattoo designs in the past. As you don't want a wolf tattoo coming out looking like lassie nor a dolphin tattoo coming out looking like a koi fish or gold fish tattoo.
