What are warrior tattoos?

Warrior tattoos are tattoos that depict warrior figures, often dressed for battle or preparing to fight. The type of warrior a person chooses for a tattoo can vary greatly, but it almost always represents honor, courage or fierceness, according to TattooEasily. It can also stand for heroism, heart or authority.

Some of the more popular warrior tattoo designs are those of Samurais, Romans, Celtics, Native Americans, Vikings, Persians, Spartans and, more recently, female warriors. The images chosen are typically personal and powerful, and the warriors are often depicted as carrying some kind of weapon or shield as proof of their bravery.
