Of all the beasts in the animal kingdom, bear tattoos probably have the richest and broadest symbolism across time and cultures. bears are a part of every kid’s childhood at some point or the other. Some have imaginary friends, while some love to talk to their teddy bears thinking they are real.

Ancient Greeks associated the bear with Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Native Americans associated bears with immortality because bears hibernate through the winter and come back to life in the spring. Of course, some people like the idea of having a teddy bear tattoo because they’re fond of how cute these tattoos can be.
