If you’re the kind of person who prefers a quiet night in with your cats to a wild night out, if you consider your cat one of your best friends, or if you simply can’t get enough cat videos in your life, you need one of our cat tattoos.
Do you love your cat? Do you go gaga when she purrs at you, or purr right back when he curls up in your lap? If you’re the kind of person who prefers a quiet night in with your cats to a wild night out, if you consider your cat one of your best friends, or if you simply can’t get enough cat videos in your life, you need one of our cat tattoos. Consider inking yourself with the following to express your love for the felines in your life:
1) Azrael
If your cat is a lovable mischief-maker, this may be the tattoo for you. Some people believe that their cats’ behavior changes with the moon’s cycle. Science may back this up: according to a study by Dr. Raegan Wells, DVM, emergency room visits for cats increased by 23% during the 3 days of a full moon. One theory explaining why is that the moon’s peak brightness encourages cats to exhibit playful behavior that results in injuries. If your cat fits the bill, choose this tattoo to honor his or her temperament.
Azrael | 1.5 inches | $19
2) Salem
This tattoo is named for Salem, the black cat on the hit show Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Black cats have long been associated with witches, and the name Salem refers to the Salem Witch Trials that plagued Massachusetts in the 1690s. Centuries ago, some believed that black cats were witches in disguise or witches’ helpers. Even today, black cats are often interpreted as spooky, making them a popular Halloween icon. If you’re interested in the occult—or simply like black cats—ink yourself with this prancing feline.
Salem | 1.0 x 1.0 inches | $19

This cute tattoo is perfect for a cat-lover who wants adorable, minimalist ink. Who could resist those whiskers? Great for wrists, ankles, or the nape of the neck.
Las Tablas | 1.0 x 0.75 inches | $19

This curvy, script tattoo is perfect for anyone’s who’s the cat’s meow. Slightly cheeky, this tattoo is a good fit for anyone who loves cats or wants a flirty dose of body art.
Meow Meow | 1.5 x 0.25 inches | $19

This simple black cat tattoo is small in stature, but striking in profile. Ink it on your back, neck, or ankle for a small serving of black magic.
