Bull tattoos can have a wide array of different meanings depending on the culture that the tattoo originated from. In some cultures, the bull is a symbol for power, and with good reason. Bulls are mighty creatures that do not shy away from confrontation when they are challenged. They are strong, stubborn and fast. They also commonly symbolize strength. Bull tattoos are most common in countries where bullfighting is practiced or in religions where the bull plays an important part in the sacred stories of the religion. The bull also commonly is known to represent masculinity and fertility. While the two may not seem to be directly connected, the power and strength of the bull helps to solidify the bull as a solid representation of both masculinity and fertility. The bull is strong and masculine in itself, as it is the male counterpart to the female cow.
