I would like to give you some ideas for your cat tattoo design, and tell you some of the myths and legends surrounding the cat, fascinating stuff , please read

A cat tattoo design is very popular with a lot
of people, because like its big cat cousins, the sheer beauty of the cat is undeniable. Match this with
hunting skills like no others, and you have the duality of beauty and the
beast.
 
The best cat tattoo designs can be seen in
simple arm or shoulder designs, or in the more elaborate full arm tattoo designs, combined with butterflies
or fairies for example.
Cats have been human pets since
the time of ancient Egypt, and still today the Egyptian themed cat tattoo design is one of the best tattoo
designs. In ancient Egypt the cat was revered, and killing a cat resulted in your own
death.
There are many early religions that believed cats were
glorious souls, friend and guide for humans, and that they had great wisdom, but were not allowed to share
this wisdom, but remained silent so they would not sway the decisions made by us
humans.
 
The 9 lives folklore is attributed to their amazing
survival capacity and disregard for self-preservation, and their ability to survive falls from great heights
that would otherwise kill other creatures.
Big cats, such as lions and tigers, are often seen as
symbols of power and war, life and death.
The domestic cat, on the other hand, has often been
represented as symbols of warmth and home, fertility, devoted motherhood and promiscuity. They were also seen
as guardians of the home, protecting the home from unwanted pests.
It hasn’t always been clean sailing for the cat as they
were killed alongside their owners if the owner was thought to be a witch, and superstition still exists
around bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.
In religion, the cat has also played a part. A Christian belief was
that the “M” marking on the head of cats is where Mary touched and blessed a cat that calmed the baby Jesus,
perhaps a good idea for a cat tattoo design?
Cats have been associated with mythology and folklore
for a long time. There was Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty, who had a chariot pulled by 2 large
gray cats, and possibly, another good idea for a cat tattoo design.
Or the Egyptian Sun god Ra, who transformed into a large
cat to battle a serpent. What about the Siamese god kings who believed their souls passed into a cat where it
remained until the cat died and then the soul would be released to enter paradise.
In Malaysia, the cat was revered as a god who eased
their afterlife journey from Hell to paradise.
