  Interesting Facts lion tattoos that might interest You.....

             Something's that no one ever tells those living in the western world about lions. If you look at all the coat of arms of the western nations, those coming from Britain, America, Australia, new Zealand and south Africa as well as amongst other western European nations like the Dutch, you will find that there is a lion in all of these nations coat of arms, every single Caucasian nation that have Germanic or Celtic lineage has this lion symbol or lion tattoo design as their coat of arms somewhere.                                                          

             Now what is really remarkable is that these coat of arms have been with these nations dating back to over 1,000 years in Europe but there has yet to be a lion dug up in Holland or any other country in western Europe, the only other animals that were fierce in these western European countries were the bear and dragon according to legend.

  Some say it could go back to Rome when the roman's bought lions to fight the gladiators in their arenas but historians say that even before this they had these symbols, some historians have gone as far as to say they (the British) Germanic nations are from the lost ten tribes of Israel and that part of the tribe of Judah was taken into captivity with the Assyrian's and eventually crossed the caucuses mountain range (Modern Day Russia), later to be called Caucasians, hence they are called Caucasians and hence they still carry the symbol of Judah along with them.

 After all it is a fact (a historical fact that queen Elizabeth) can trace her ancestry back to king David, who was from the tribe of Judah but don't confuse the birthright of Hebrew's and Israelites to Judaism that is religion like Christianity

Why The Lion Is Often Referred To As The King Of The Jungle And The King Of Tattoos

                 One take on it is that there is a theory that all the kings and queens of western Europe are related and if you follow their blood lines, you will find that they are related to king David of the bible, who is from the tribe of Judah (not to be confused with the religion of the modern day Jews) whose coat of arms was the lion.

              A talented tattoo artist can replicate the image of a lion in a realistic and beautiful way and it’s your choice whether you choose to have it looking serene or rather more ferocious looking bearing its teeth in a thunderous roar. The male lion is easy to recognize by its distinctive mane which replicated the crown and hence forth was known as the king of the jungle.

Lion Tattoos Roar With Magic When Done Well

People sometimes go for a tattoo of the lions head while others prefer the whole lion ranging from a small tattoo to however large you dare to go, like maybe covering the whole of your back, the size is personal to you.

           If you stick to mainly one color lion tattoos can look good if done well, however it can look very effective with the use of different colors for the likes of the eyes, mane, nose, mouth etc…

                                                                        It is worth considering a background of maybe its native African plains or jungle landscape to add depth and color it can really look impressive and stand out.

  Like with any tattoo you decide to have done the price will be determined by size, amount of color used and the complexity of the image, so if you go for an intricate design of a lion in its natural habitat in the background be prepared to pay for it, but believe me its worth saving for if its what you really want and it’ll be worth it.

The beautiful yet dangerous lion is something not to be messed with! Projecting an image of power and strength, if this is what you’re after then a lion could be just your thing.
