Horse Tattoos gallop in my heart. These pics and descriptions of horse tattoo art blew my mind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone who loves to be inspired. Ever heard of “horsepower”? It’s literally a measurement unit and that’s no coincidence! Horses are majestic and elegant animals that have quite a lot of symbolism for different cultures. That’s why a lot of people choose horse tattoos as a way to express themselves as a free, powerful and passionate person.
Horses are also ridiculously beautiful animals with eyes that gaze into your soul and melt your heart, make your ovaries explode and instantly make you wanna protect them. Tony Soporano became obsessed with a horse for obvious reasons, and he’s pretty badass, panic attacks and everything.
Horses’ history with humankind goes way back. They have been here for us since the beginning of time and have always been helpful and loyal companions. They’ve been there when we have come, seen and conquered. No wonder why they are a symbol of victory and freedom!
Horses also symbolize honor, loyalty, fertility and sexual drive, obviously. There are literally brands of sex related products that choose horses as their trademark and poster species for their marketing campaigns.
Horse tattoos are a good fit for those reasons and more. If you want a tattoo that has a meaningful interpretation, this is a good place to start. Horses and their courageous gallop symbolize a yearning for freedom, and isn’t that what we all try to do through tattoos?
