We all know that cats are the cutest, the most mischievous and quirky animals ever, but did you know, that in ancient Egypt, they were associated with the goddesses Isis and Ba’at, often depicted in various drawings and even mummified? Or that later, in the Middle Ages, cats were killed en masse since people have associated them with witchcraft? Luckily, the feline genocide has ended with a medieval king of Wales Hyvel Dda who made killing or harming cats illegal.
With this much of ours and cats history overlapping, it is only natural, that our feline companions have gathered many symbolic meanings to them. While a black cat might be seen as an omen of bad luck, cats, in general, are seen as symbols for independence, rebellion, and intelligence. Now, if you are in the process of choosing a new body art design, a cat tattoo might seem like a great idea, as it embodies many desirable qualities.
Below, we have compiled various tattoo ideas regarding our beloved pets – from subtle small tattoos and simple cat tattoos to realistic drawing ideas, we’ve tried to include as many as we could find for every cat person out there. (H/T)
