Cat tattoos come in a number of popular varieties. One type of design is the "cartoonish" style of drawing. These will usually have some other kind of playful or mischievous theme - which is often shown in the eyes, or the facial expression of the cat design.
Other designs feature a "portrait" type of cat image, which will usually resemble that of a pencil drawing. Not much color is used, as the outline and shading is often black and grey. Although the eyes are often filled with a vibrant color, as this is a very distinctive aspect of cat tattoos.
A silhouette outline of a cat, often filled with black - and having white spaces for the eyes - is also a common cat tattoo to have. These can be placed on the shoulder-blade for a seductive, feminine, and mysterious looking tattoo which can create a lot of intrigue.
For a cute kitten tattoo, you may choose to have a "hello kitty" type of design, or perhaps the image of a small kitten. These cute tattoos often set a scene of a kitten chasing butterflies, which creates an opportunity for other graphics to be placed into your design.
Having a one of these tattoos is a great option if it's your first one. They also tend to look very effective even if they are small. The vast majority of them are placed on the shoulder-blade, but other popular locations include the arm, the side of the stomach, and occasionally just above the ankle. Alice Farrell
