What do Native American tattoos look like?

Although Native American tattoos vary in appearance, many of them include the faces of animals, such as bulls, horses and wolves. Many of them also include feathers, flowers or other decorative items representative of Native American culture.

Individuals wishing to get a tattoo that honors their Native American ancestors should do extensive research before choosing a design, as symbols differ between tribes.

Tattoo Johnny provides approximately 1,200 images of Native American tattoos through its website, as of September 2015. Dreamcatchers are one of the most common themes the website depicts. Some of the tattoos are black and white, while others are more vibrant in color.
