50 Cow Tattoos: Best Designs & Meanings

Cows have always represented the female spirit. They feed not only their calves, but also people. This is probably why the first people considered them sacred. Some ancient cultures such as Babylon, Greece and Egypt worshiped gods with bovine characteristics, and in the cultures of Northern Europe, the four Rivers of Power originate from the udder of Audumla.

In Buddhism and Hinduism, cows are revered as symbols of mercy and patience. These animals are never in a hurry or in a hurry. In many indigenous cultures, cows are a status symbol, and owning a large herd is like having the last Bugatti Veyron parked in your garage.

The meaning of a cow tattoo

Unlike bull tattoos, cow tattoos usually symbolize motherhood and fertility, but also:

• Renewal and abundance
• Food
• DEF

It is not unusual for these designs to be interchangeable with bull designs. For example, cow skull tattoos refer to bull skulls that are predominantly masculine.

Cow tattoo variations

Cow tattoos are quite rare and usually contain comic book elements. The most popular cow tattoo variations are:

1. Tattoos of Hathor

Hathor was the goddess of motherhood, fertility and joy in ancient Egypt. In many hieroglyphs, she is depicted as a woman with a cow's head and horns. Some of the drawings show a golden sun between its horns. Hathor tattoos are usually favored by women who identify with the role of caregiver.

2. Tattoo of a cow on the navel.

These tattoos are a simple expression of your rebellious and humorous side and have no real spiritual meaning. For many, navel tattoos are primarily a provocative joke, a kind of middle finger on conventions.
