Owl Tattoo Ideas
The owl is wisdom, mystery, and the ability to see what is hidden. It faces forward unlike most birds, which gives portrait-oriented designs an unusual directness.
Illustrative etching styles capture its feather texture beautifully. It works well as a smaller, self-contained piece on the forearm or upper arm.
Meaning
Wisdom, mystery, intuition, and seeing through darkness.
