Best Owl Tattoo Designs – Our Top 10

1 The demure owl tattoo

This owl while representing wisdom like all other owls also symbolizes modesty. Its expression is demure and somewhat coy. Cute to look at, it generally adorns the skin of females but can be seen on a selected few males too.

2Totem owl

The owl is associated with a number of cultures. It is commonly called the ‘angel of death’. Many myths mention instances of owls being able to communicate with the departed. Due to this many cultures believed that the owl was the guardian and our only link with the dead. The totem owl was thus used on charms and protective bracelets. Totem owl tattoos look really cool and are extremely popular!

3 Punk owl tattoo

Often skilled designers, instead of making a simple owl structure modify it into something really cool. They add props like bowler hats, cigarettes, smoke etc to give the owl a better look, making it seem as if it has walked right out of a fable story! These tattoo designs are made by very skilled designers and look really good.

4Coloured owl with a background

The owl is mostly a side tattoo. Often it is made with an entire background of the midnight sky and the pale bright moon, all with tree branches and leaves. These tattoos are generally coloured rather than black and white. They are cute and more homely than funky.

5Cute owl girl

Oftentimes designers instead of making a realistic owl sketch, make a caricature of an owl with garments and makeup and other stuff. These owls are cute and look more like a cartoon. These tattoos are again preferred more by females.

6Large eyed owl

The most striking part of an owl is its large eyes! These tattoos depict that as the centre of attraction.

7Owl face tattoo

Sometimes people prefer getting only the face of the owl with its large yellow eyes tattooed instead of its entire body. These faces look really cool or cute depending on the manner in which your designer chooses to make it.

8Full length owl tattoo

There are people who get the entire body of the owl from its yellow eyes to its sharp claws tattooed along the whole length of their arm. If made properly these can make you look really ferocious because while owl is a symbol for wisdom, it is also one of the best hunting birds and the look of its claws and beak is intimidating enough.
