Lion designs

The lion has been featured prominently in many cultures. The great sphinx in Egypt is a wonderful depiction of the lion and translates incredibly well into the tattoo art form. The Tibetans have a pair of snow lions on their flag. These lions are beautiful when tattooed with a Tibetan design. A very popular tattoo is the Fu dog from China. These protect the humans from evil spirits in the Chinese culture. The Fu dog can be seen in many designs and they almost always have a representation of the earth under their right paw. Though almost endangered now, the once common Asiatic lion could be found throughout India. They are considered sacred by all Hindus. The emblem of India is three lions and would make an interesting piece of work.
