FAQs
What does a lion tattoo mean?
Strength, courage, leadership, that’s the short version. King of the jungle, in the way people usually mean it: confidence, protection, pride. It’s a solid pick if you want something that says power without needing to explain itself.
How much does a lion tattoo cost in Auckland?
Comes down to size and detail mostly. Smaller designs typically start from a few hundred dollars, though we’ll always run you through a free consultation to nail down an accurate quote for what you’re actually after.
Where do lion tattoos look best?
Chest and back suit the bigger, more detailed pieces. Arm and forearm work well for something mid-sized. Shoulder, calf, or thigh hold up fine too if you’re after something smaller; really, it just depends on the look you’re going for.
Can I see examples of your lion tattoos?
Yes, have a browse through our gallery, or come by the studio and see more in person.
How long does a lion tattoo take to complete?
A simple design might be done in one sitting. Anything more involved, a full realistic portrait, a larger back piece, usually needs more than one session. We’ll talk through timing properly once we’ve seen your design at the consultation.
