65 Trendy Zebra Tattoos, Ideas, & Meaning

Since the movie Madagascar got a lot of attention, zebra tattoos have become increasingly popular. If you are looking for an exotic animal tattoo, then you should consider getting a zebra tattoo.

Zebras are one of the most distinguished and striking animals and undeniably the best-dressed animal in Africa. Zebras have shortened stature compared to most horses. They are stronger than they look but capable of biting and kicking to defend themselves. They are nomadic and migratory species.

Zebras are closely related to horses, and they are black with white stripes, despite what our eyes tell us. It’s a common thought that these stripes help them camouflage against predators, but in reality, they make them highly visible to predators in the daylight on the African savannas.

One of the darker aspects of Zebras is not their stripes but rather their social structure. A dominant male may have as many as six females in his group. Younger males with no mare often form bachelor herds and fight for females. However, once he chooses his partners, a stallion remains devoted to his females.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As zebras are known for their unique look and personality, it’s no surprise that zebra tattoos are trendy. Even though Zebra tattoos are not the most popular animal tattoos, they have special meanings. In this article, we will discuss Zebra tattoo meaning and designs that you can use to create your unique Zebra tattoo.

Zebra Tattoo Meaning

Zebra tattoos allow you to express your strength. Many people are unaware of the power of the zebra because they are not aggressive animals. But their kicks are as strong as horses’ kicks. A person who uses an animal tattoo to symbolize strength is very proud of their physical or emotional strength.

 

Although Zebras roam in packs, they only live together to survive. Because of this, they are unique compared to other pack animals. As a result of this, zebra tattoos are excellent symbols of individuality and independence.

Over the years, people tried to domesticate Zebras but failed. They simply love to be in the wild. That is why zebra tattoos represent freedom to their wearers.

Colorful Zebra Tattoos

Just because zebras are black and white doesn’t mean you cannot have fun adding colors to your zebra tattoo. You can either use watercolor style or paint the stipes in rainbow colors for that vibrant look.

Black & Grey

The best thing about the zebra tattoo is that you can get the tattoo in black and grey ink without changing the look of the animal. In fact, many people opt to exclude the white parts of the zebra since white doesn’t look great on the skin. Black and grey also give the tattoo a more realistic look.
