For example, you must have heard the name of Dwayne Johnson; he has done well for himself in the world of WWE and then Hollywood. You must see a tattoo of a bull done on his shoulder, and if you see his stature, you will realize that the bull tattoo suits him so much.
Similarly, people do for a tiger tattoo; it stands for raw power and strength. Some even see the tiger as the symbol of freedom and independence. Here we will look at the ways in which you can get a tiger tattoo on your back.
