20 Flawless Cheetah Print Tattoos

Some people consider cheetah print tattoos tasteless and meaningless, so if you have one – make sure you know its meaning and can educate people around you telling about this mighty and precious animal. Negative attitude might have risen from wearing animal print clothes in a tasteless manner, but cheetah prints inked on one’s body can be truly elegant and look stunning.

Cheetah has some gorgeous characteristics and qualities that are related to tattoos of this animal or its prints. Firstly, we are talking now about the fastest animal on earth that can develop as fast speed as 100 km per hour in just a few seconds. While other animals are hiding, patiently waiting and attacking in the least expected moment to catch their kills, cheetahs simply run their kills being fast and highly focused all the way to the success. These wild animals have been companions for shamans and also have been highly valuated by royalty. Even deities like Greek god Dionysus have been depicted accompanied by cheetah, but for aristocracy cheetahs were kept as pets and trained as their hunters.  Unfortunately the nature is changing, their living-space becomes less suitable and people have been in love with these animals and their printed coats so much that cheetahs nowadays are almost extinct and can be found only in some parts of Africa and remote areas of Iran. From all this information you can figure out the meaning of cheetah print tattoos: firstly they symbolize speed and high focus, secondly they are related to aristocracy and shamanism and the newest meaning added to this symbol nowadays is extinction -being appreciated and beautiful but rare.

Looking for cheetah print tattoo ideas think of the place on your body where you would like to get this tattoo. Some people choose to get these tattoos as half arm sleeves, for others it looks gorgeous on ribcage or around backbone, it’s flirty to get it small behind your ear and brave to get a pretty big part of your body covered with cheetah prints on your shoulder or in a line all the way down from your hip to ankle.  Cheetah prints can be also combined with other symbols and different forms, for example you can fill a star with cheetah coat prints, decorate wings of a fairy with this print or get a tattoo that would “uncover” cheetah prints under your human skin pointing out that the qualities of this animal are within you. If you get this kind of a tattoo, be ready to prove that is a truly meaningful, deep and deliberative decision.
