Gem Carter’s Cat Lady Tattoos Will Leave You Purring for More

When you’re a cat lady, but not yet a crazy one, then a tattoo from Gem Carter could be the right fit for you.

Gem Carter works at Modern Classic Tattoo in London, England where she creates bold and badass traditional style tattoos with a modern feel. A quick glance at her Instagram feed and you’ll see animals aplenty, along with the more traditional imagery of panthers, dragons and mermaids, in either black and grey or colour.

What I especially love are Gem’s cat lady tattoos as (aside from being covered head to toe in tattoos) that’s pretty much my aim in life. Sure, there’s plenty of dog tattoos out there – even in Gem’s portfolio – but I don’t see anyone getting dog lady (or dude) tattoos. The cats win this battle.

Styled with earrings, jewellery, spikes, chains or even a ball gag, there’s plenty of smaller decorative elements which you can include to add even more personality to a cat lady tattoo from Gem Carter.

If the sound and look of these tattoos is sparking your imagination, will you take a walk on the wild side with a big cat like a cheetah, leopard or tiger, or are you inspired by the breed of your own domesticated pet cat?

I’ve selected eight cat lady tattoos to spotlight here – I’m sure they’ll leave you purring for more.
