Cat tattoos

A quiet love letter to cats, in tattoo form 🐾

There's something deeply poetic about the way a cat moves — elegant, aloof, yet strangely affectionate. If felines have captured your imagination as they have ours, you're in good company. Our handpicked collection of cat tattoos is for those who feel a connection to the quiet strength, mystery and playfulness of these untamed companions. And best of all, they’re temporary — so you can flirt with your feline side without the lifelong ink commitment.

Crafted with skin-loving, vegan-friendly ingredients, each design is as expressive as it is easy to apply. Whether you’re into soft minimal lines or lush, enchanted scenes — there’s a purrfect pick waiting for you.

Felines through the ages — more than just pets

Cats have long held a place in mythology and emotion — from sacred symbols in ancient Egypt to pop culture royalty. In tattoos, they often embody grace, defiance or a quiet rebellion. Maybe you see your independent streak in their poised walk. Or maybe you’ve always seen a black cat as lucky, not cursed. However you interpret them, cats make striking visual muses — especially when curled behind your ear or dancing down your forearm.

Our most-loved designs of the moment

While some prefer a dainty outline, others lean into detailed stories. Here’s a peek into what people are loving:

• Shadowed silhouettes – Whisper-thin outlines for a subtle nod to your spirit animal.
• Wide-eyed kittens – Playfulness incarnate. Utterly sweet on ankles or tucked inside the wrist.
• Magical cats – Think moons, flowers, stars woven around feline forms. Whimsical and rich in spirit.
• Geometric dreamscapes – Clean lines meet conceptual motion. These modern takes work stunningly on shoulders or the outer thigh.

Each motif has a story to tell — some flirty, others meditative. Feel free to match them with pieces from fox tattoos or pair them with a subtle charm from our paw collection if you fancy a silent walk with the wolf pack too.

Where should your cat tattoo live?

Placement is more than aesthetic — it’s part of the message. A wraparound wrist cat gives the sense of movement, a feline on your chest? Vulnerability and closeness. Other popular spots include:

• Behind the ear – A whisper of mystery. Especially fitting for smaller, abstract forms.
• Forearm or calf – Perfect canvases for scenic or storybook-style tattoos.
• Back, thigh or upper arm – Let the artwork breathe and evolve over larger surfaces.

Don’t be afraid to mix creatures — a cat paired with a lion from our lion tattoo collection speaks of wild grace and soft strength. Or explore hybrid constellations with pieces from tiger tattoos for a bold contrast.

The feline meets kawaii: for the light-hearted dreamer

Not every cat tattoo needs to growl. 😽 Our kawaii-inspired designs are packed with charm — wide-eyed characters, floating bubbles and pastel cat motifs that tick every box for softness and surreal joy. Ideal if you want to wear whimsy on your sleeve (literally).

They also pair beautifully with designs from our cute tattoo range — for a playful, cohesive vibe that makes your style instantly more expressive.

Good for your skin, gentle on the planet

All our temporary tattoos are made with natural, cruelty-free dyes. Safe for most skin types, free from nasties and easy to apply or remove in minutes — no drama. And they last up to three weeks, through showers, workouts and dance floors.

That means you can switch between a dreamy cat and a loyal hound from our dog tattoo collection, all without the permanence. Freedom never looked so good.

Your next story starts here
