Tiger tattoo designs: tiger head, walking tiger, tiger and bamboo

Tiger tattoo designs, worn for courage and strength, from a head on the forearm to a full back piece. The nine sheets show a tiger's head with its mouth open in a snarl, a tiger walking with one paw lifted, and a Japanese tiger crouched in bamboo. Each is drawn as traditional flash, hatching and dotwork. Type a different big cat or twist, such as a white tiger, and the same styles can be asked for.

• a back piece with a Japanese tiger in bamboo
• a walking tiger for the calf or thigh
• a printed sheet to compare three styles

Frequently asked questions

What is on the page?

Nine tiger designs: a tiger's head, a walking tiger and a tiger in bamboo, each in three styles.

Is this a design on skin?

No. Each design is a drawing on white paper, for taking to a studio or printing.

Can I ask for a white tiger or a panther?

Yes. Type a different big cat or twist; the result is a new drawing, not a guaranteed match.

What is the difference between the styles?

Traditional flash has bold outlines and a few flat colours. Hatching builds the shadows from parallel lines. Dotwork builds them from dots.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
