Elephant tattoo designs  are popular not only for the beauty of the animals but for their meaning for Indian cultures. They also have a good deal of symbolism to back them up; wisdom, nobility, and of course, strength are some most obvious characteristic; however, elephants are also seen to be a charm for luck and good fortune.

Being the largest land animal, elephants have a special place in the animal kingdom. Sadly, they were almost hunted to extinction for the ivory in their tusks, and now only two species – the Asian and the African elephant – remain.
