One interesting point to note is that although bulls can also be designed under this tattoo theme, but, as there is difference between the natures of these two animals, there is a difference between the expressions of the two different tattoos as well. While cow tattoos are always designed in a humorous manner, whereas bulls are depicted in some fierce manner, usually on the wild side.

Humorous Cow Tattoo
Most of the cow tattoos portray long lashed, trusting eyes of the cow that show their gentleness. This gentleness only is the epitome of what a cow is considered in the mind of someone acquiring one for meat. A trust factor is also shown by the funny way of standing out the ears at one side.
Then comes the choice of colour of the cow. You can choose any colour, depending upon your imagination what you think of a traditional cow in your mind. Also, the way of drawing the cow is such that the cow is facing out directly, making it appear as if you are standing right in front of it and looking into its eyes.

Most people who love cow as a pet or have very loving memories with it, choose this tattoo design to show their love for it. This unique tattoo design has vibrant colours and very lively look. The head of the cow is the centre of the tattoo and acts as the main focus of the tattoo. The quality depiction of the head with bright colours, gives a very interesting appearance to the tattoo.
The cow head is showcased very well by the scrolling moving up the horns and behind the lotus. This tattoo design can be well depicted in one word, which is ‘cute’.

Awesome Bull Tattoo
The most interesting factor about this tattoo design which attracts everybody, is that one can get confused in judging whether it is a cow tattoo or a bull tattoo.

One can find an out of the box perspective to look at the tattoo with such a high quality which doesn’t allow you to overlook this tattoo design. The most fabulous part is the detailed work of the tattoo that includes the magnificently done musculature of the beast. The sinewy muscle of the powerful animal is also revealed very well.
