Tattoo on the side - meanings and designs for girls and men


Since ancient times, drawings on the body carried a certain meaning. To date, the fashion for tattoos has reached a new level.

Typical male drawings

Initially, the sides were not considered as places for tattoos at all. The exception was when a drawing from the back was so voluminous that it crawled from one or both sides to the ribs or stomach. Later women discovered for themselves and the world such a thing as a tattoo on the side, because it looks spectacular and stylish.

Men most often choose for themselves serious and large-scale drawings that carry a certain meaning. Thus, the most popular are:

  • wild cats (tigers, leopards, panthers);
  • Birds of prey (hawk, eagle);
  • Forest animals (bear, wolf);
  • compositions (sailing boats on the waves, churches);
  • sea creatures (shark, dolphin, whale, killer whale).
