Jaguar Tattoo Photo #10278

In Mesoamerican cultures the jaguar was considered a bridge between the living world and the spirit realm - shamans believed they could transform into the animal to access hidden knowledge. That combination of physical strength and mystical significance makes the jaguar one of the most compelling big-cat tattoo subjects.

Geometric tattoos use precise lines, angles, and repeated shapes to form structured compositions. Symmetry and mathematical patterns give these designs a modern, architectural quality.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
