Think aloud
Whether you want to commemorate your pet pig with a permanent place on your body or simply want to showcase your obsession with all things bacon, you might want to get a pig tattoo. Pig tattoos might be a strange motif to start your tattoo collection with, but they’re cute, cuddly, and packed with meaning.
Pig tattoos can carry many meanings, but they’re typically seen as symbols of fearlessness, adaptability, greediness, and even gluttony which might be the reason why tattoos of pigs stuffing their faces with food are super popular, too. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite pig tattoos down below.
1. A simple pig tattoo on the wrist
When picking the perfect design for your pig tattoo, you might think that you need to go all out – but you don’t. A simple and subtle outline of a pig’s nose and ears will make everyone do a double take and wonder whether you’re sporting a pig tattoo on your wrist.
2. A linework pig tattoo on the forearm
We can say the same thing about a linework tattoo! If you consider yourself a lover of minimalism, you might be interested in getting a linework tattoo of a pig on your arm, leg, or even back. It’s a tattoo made with a single lining needle and, oftentimes, a single line. It’s awesome!
3. A realistic pig tattoo on the upper arm
We do understand that you might be more of a realism lover, and that’s okay. Realistic animal tattoos are all the rage these days, especially when you embellish them with symbols and elements that make them more in tune with your personal style.
4. A tattoo of a flying pig on the thigh
We do need to mention that flying pig tattoos are even more popular than “regular” pig tattoos. While the two carry similar meanings, flying pig tattoos are also associated with reaching new heights and achieving success. We love the way this tattoo plays with its placement, too.
5. A tiny pig tattoo on the ankle
Argh, there’s something about tiny tattoos that seems to have the entire world in a chokehold.
