hi
I´ve seen some photos of people having a tattoo of a tiger and cobra figthing eachother.
Was wondering if anyone know if this motive have some meaning, just like the phoenix birds and koi fish stands for something.
Havent found any info about this myself but might aswell ask here and hope for some answers 🙂

It usually means strength to fight guile or treachery.

The tiger symbolises strength. The cobra represents speed, cunning, or treachery depending on the motive behind the tattoo.

Varies from culture to culture.

oh that was really interesting.
First time ever anyone could actually tell what it means.
Any idea if there is a webpage with the different meanings in different cultures?

Hi

No there is not on singular website that I have found it was a number of reference books that I had on various far eastern and indian cultures.

Like all art it means whatever you want it to mean – whether others perceive it there way is something you have no control over.

Many just feel it is a bad ass tattoo with no meaning some take their tattoos to a spiritual level.
