Animal Tattoos and their Meanings

Of all these cultures, Native American animism tends to be one of the most popular. Totems, according to Native American beliefs, are spiritual beings or sacred objects and symbols of an individual or their tribe, and each person is said to have nine different animal spirits that act as guides throughout their life. Similar forms of animism can be seen in ancient cultures around the world, such as the Mun religion of the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India.

Each animal has a meaning, which means that it can be difficult to find the one that is right for you or that truly represents you. To make things easier, we asked animal meaning expert Gladys to tell us what more than 40 animals represent.
