Others want to memorialize a beloved pet and be able to see them wherever they go. Whatever the reason, animal and pet tattoos are a growing motif for tats. There are millions of different animals out there, but some are definitely more popular then others.Although many pitbull tattoos feature this animal in a depiction that shows the aggressive and ferocious traits that this breed is known for, many people get this style of art to show their love for this often misunderstood beast.
Many pitbull tattoos feature only the head, face and occasionally shoulders of this dog. This style can range from a cute cartoon image to a fierce creature baring its sharp teeth. It is not uncommon to see the strong features of a pitbull’s face, lined in an angry expression, with close-cropped ears and cold, savage eyes. The eyes in many pitbull tattoos often tell the most; they are frequently done in a demonic red, have fire or ice reflected in them, or show the image of a small, scared creature looking back at the dog. For a cartoon style, many people like to keep with the theme of a combative animal, and show a large eyed, large bodied, tiny eared pitbull with a spiked collar carrying an arm or leg, or shaking (with slobber and all) a person or animal.
Another example of common pitbull tattoos is the portrait style. These are used most frequently by people who have a soft spot for the breed, or the wearer may use a photo of their own pitbull. These usually show a much more docile version of this animal, and may show a bust or full body image. They are often done in color, but may also be done in monotone shades; occasionally only the barest outlines may be used for this style. This design is also frequently used as a memorial piece to a well loved pitbull.
