Among the many considerations to ponder upon, when thinking of getting a tattoo is where to place it. It is always a problem where to place a tattoo whether you're inking it for the first or the nth time. There are of course several tattoo placement ideas you can look into to alleviate the problem.

Small tattoo ideas that incorporate regal eagles in their design may symbolize a source of power. This is also the way that the native American people see this animal and its feathers. In many Eastern European countries as well as Mexico, India, Egypt, Armenia and the U.S.A., eagles are used as national symbols. Because the lioness is renowned for her aggressive and protective attributes, lions were used as war deities by the ancient Egyptians.

In Japan, shrines are dedicated to wolves, known as okamis or great gods to them. The Japanese seek the protection of their crops by these wolves from boars and deer. Protection may be the primary meaning wolf designs take when they are included in meaningful tattoo ideas.

Tattoo visibility is another consideration when picking which of the many tattoo placement ideas to implement. Much thought must be given to this tattooing aspect because of the permanency of the tattoo. Next on your list of decisions to make in choosing a body area among the varied tattoo placement ideas out there is whether you want your tattoo to be inked upside down or right side up. Tattooists are in unison in their beliefs that a tattoo should be more visible, to its viewers other than yourself.

To cut the discussion short, if you want to enjoy your tattoo on a daily basis, you have to place it in an area where you can do so. Butterflies when incorporated into meaningful tattoo ideas symbolize metamorphosis, change, rebirth and of course, beauty. Everyone knows the metamorphosis a butterfly undergoes. Before emerging as a vibrant winged insect, it starts as a colourless caterpillar encaged inside a cocoon.

Designs of meaningful tattoo ideas may include a tiger or two. A tiger is one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac while a white tiger is one of the 4 symbols in the Chinese constellation. The tiger is a representation of fearlessness and royalty for the Chinese and is at par to the Chinese Dragon in symbolic importance. A symbol of anger for the Buddhists, the tiger is one of their three senseless creatures. Meanwhile, South Korea, Malaysia, Bangladesh and India consider the tiger as their national animal.
