Cat Tattoos – 47 Best Tattoo Artists Who Will Inspire You

Cat Tattoos – 47 Best Tattoo Artists Who Will Inspire You

Cats have been living side-by-side with people from time immemorial, and have fickle, contradictory and mysterious natures and, habits that people have not been able to understand so far. Tattoos of cats who fascinate us by their playfulness and affection usually have the meaning of:

  • grace and beauty;
  • magic;
  • evil and deceit;
  • love of freedom;
  • wildness and willfulness;
  • peace.

Back to the time of ancient Egypt, cats were considered equal  with Gods and associated with fertility, fun, and joy. The image of cats organically fitted into the design of building and  represented female beauty, grace, and attractiveness.

People with cat tattoos often demonstrate character traits such as independence, mystery, sharp mind, ability to defend their positions, and others.

The world of felines is so large and is characterised by its own message.  A black panther is associated with success, strength, calculated movement, and beauty. Most often people associate big cats with passion, strength,  power, beauty, or leadership. Smaller feline friends, in general, are symbols of independence and intelligence.

In general, you do not need to be a cat lover or cat owner to have a great feline tattoo. Tattoos of big and small cats are an amazing way to demonstrate your personality to the world.

Below you will find cat tattoos inked by the best tattoo artists from all over the world (thanks to Instagram, mainly) and there is no reason you should wait too long to celebrate your passion for big or small cats.

London Inkaholics ® Tattoo Shop
Instagram: londoninkaholics

Black and white designs inked in a London based professional studio whose owner is one of the senior artists in the studio with an impressive almost 20-years of experience in tattooing. 

If you are considering a wild cat tattoo, you definitely need to check their website or Instagram account  for more  cat tattoo ideas and inspiration.

What are the most popular cat breeds you tattoo?

Jopsy Daisy (Inkaholocs): I would say the most popular breed of cat would be large cats such as lions, tigers and leopards, but for domesticated cats it’s a large variety ranging from the fluffiest kitten to soft spynx cats.

For cat portraits the most popular style is photorealism, especially in black and grey, but I would say that is mostly because of what we focus on in the shop. Personally I love doing any style and I have recently finished a sleeve with 10 semi realistic colour portraits of various cats, something I soon will put in my portfolio.

Alex Alvarado

Alex Alvarado: “I’ve done a bit of everything really, but I guess stand outs would be Siamese, British Shorthair, Angora and Himalayan. The styles also range quite a bit but the usual ones would be watercolour and realism.”

What are the most popular cat breeds you tattoo? 

Mostly domestic cats, peoples beloved pets. I absolutely love cats, it’s amazing being able to create gorgeous cats faces into tattoos for the client to wear them forever.

What are the most popular styles in cat tattoo?

I would think traditional. The classic tiger head tattoo has always been a popular classic, the same as a panther. I use the same traditional style when tattooing cat portraits.

Jason Adelinia: I think the best way I can describe why people get tattoos of their cats is as follows… I really think pets are like family, and when it comes down to cats, people just can’t seem to get enough! Many are memorial portraits, or even actual paw prints they have managed to get. The pink watercolour cat was just an amazing lady who just LOVED CATS and loved pink.  Her request was just for any cat, as long as it was pink! She was awesome, and that’s my ideal scenario!
