Tattoo Vibe
So, you’ve decided that you want to get inked. Now you need to filter through the array of tattoo motifs you’ve been saving for years and years, and you’re overwhelmed with the sheer number of animal tattoos you decided to hold onto. Whether it’s your first time or fifteenth, you truly can’t go wrong with a lynx tattoo.
Lynx tattoos can represent a myriad of meanings, but they’re typically seen as symbols of awareness, change, ability, and confidence. Lynx cats are believed to possess supernatural eyesight, and that’s why they’re oftentimes seen as symbols of psychic power, clairvoyance, and the ability to unravel hidden truths, too. We’ve rounded up some of the most impressive lynx tattoo ideas on Instagram for your liking.
1. A detailed lynx tattoo on the forearm
Starting with a delicate and detailed lynx tattoo on the forearm, this tattoo features everything you need and more to attract attention and stand out from the rest of the crowd. Sure, a lynx cat doesn’t need additional elements, but there’s something about the beautiful mountain scenery that makes our hearts flutter.
2. A soft and subtle lynx tattoo
With a soft and subtle lynx tattoo, the focus of your ink can be on the incredibly cute cat rather than the scenery. Whether you’re a modern minimalist or someone who appreciates the smaller, simpler tattoos, you might want to get a fine-line tattoo of a lynx cat.
3. A tattoo of a lynx surrounded by flowers on the thigh
What about a tattoo of a lynx cat surrounded by flowers? Whether you go with your birth month flowers or flowers that work well with the rest of the tattoo, you can create a true work of art – without going all out or spending too much time, effort, and energy on your tattoo.
4. A lynx tattoo on the leg
When picking the perfect placement for your tattoo, don’t overlook the beauty of leg tattoos. While they are hidden away for the most part, they’re also elegant, effortless, and easy to reveal when necessary. What do you think?
5. A full-sleeve lynx tattoo
We’re obsessed with themed sleeve tattoos! Whether you opt for a tattoo sleeve that focuses on the lynx only or something a little looser (complete with flowers, foliage, and similar elements), you’re guaranteed to walk out of the tattoo parlor with a smile on your face.
6. A colorful lynx tattoo on the upper arm
We salute your desire to add some color to your life, too! While black ink tattoos are effortless and elegant, there’s nothing wrong with colorful tattoos that make your body look a lot more vibrant and whimsical. A colorful tattoo of a lynx can be a great way for you to express your creativity and push your limits.
7. A colorful lynx tattoo on the thigh
Why not opt for a colorful lynx tattoo on the thigh? With a thigh tattoo, you’re free to “go big or go home” because you’re provided with plenty of space to work with. A thigh tattoo can be as big or as small as you please, and that’s up to you and your tattoo artist to decide.
8. A sketch-style lynx tattoo on the upper arm
We can’t forget about sketch-style tattoos! With rough lines, ink splatters, and unfinished designs, sketch-style tattoos are the perfect pick for people who are attracted to modern tattoo styles. A sketch-style tattoo of a lynx might not be at the top of your bucket list, but that needs to change ASAP.
9. A watercolor lynx tattoo
What about a watercolor lynx tattoo? Watercolor tattoos are bright, vivid, and whimsical, and they’re meant to look like little works of art on your body. With a watercolor tattoo of a lynx cat somewhere on your body, you can attract attention everywhere you go.
10. A brushstroke-style lynx tattoo
Brushstroke tattoos are bold and beautiful, too! Brushstroke calligraphy is a unique art form that combines the elements of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Brushstroke tattoos do the same thing, only with more elements that don’t necessarily need to belong to the same culture.
11. A lynx tattoo on the neck
What do you think of neck tattoos? Neck tattoos might not be for the faint of heart, but they’re a great tattoo placement to consider when you’re on the hunt for something unique and unexpected. A neck tattoo of a lynx cat can be complete with flowers, leaves, and similar elements, too.

13. A tattoo of a lynx surrounded by flowers on the hip

14. A lynx tattoo on the inside of the arm
We’re obsessed with how delicate and detailed this tattoo is! This tattoo features a cute and cuddly lynx cat surrounded by intricate leaves and foliage that add to the overall vibe of the tattoo. This is a great example of a dotwork tattoo that uses tiny dots to create the desired image.
15. A realistic lynx tattoo on the elbow
