Portrait

• One option for a zebra tattoo is to get a straight forward, realistic portrait of a zebra. It could be just a head shot, or the whole zebra, either standing or running. Where you get your tattoo on your body is your choice, but if you're having an entire zebra tattooed on you, a large area, such as your back, would allow you to fit it in comfortably. Make sure you go to an artist who is confident in inking animal portraits.
  
  

Cartoon

• If you want a more lighthearted design, get a cartoon-style zebra tattoo. For instance, you could have a cutesy, Disney-style zebra or a tough punk zebra. If you have an idea, but you can't draw it out, your tattoo artist will draw the design to your specification as part of the cost of the tattoo itself.
  
  

Tribal

• A tribal style zebra would be an interesting take on a zebra tattoo. Tribal tattoos are made up of solid black lines that taper at the end, much like the stripe of a zebra. Therefore, the zebra lends itself well to being turned into a tribal style design. Another tribal style idea would be to have a normal tribal-shaped tattoo, but to fill the design with zebra print rather than with solid black.
  
  

Zebra Print

• Instead of having an actual zebra tattooed on you, you could choose to have an area of zebra print inked on your skin. Choose a patch or band of zebra print, either small or large, such as an entire zebra print sleeve or half sleeve. Alternatively, you could have a simple geometric shape, such as a heart or a star, but instead of having it colored in solidly, it would be filled with zebra print.
