Provenance
3 resolvediNKPPL Tattoo Magazine
Tattoo magazine meaning article. Verbatim: "At its most basic level, a bear represents strength." and "A bear tattoo is never just a bear tattoo." - the second is cited because it is the source stating, in its own words, that the motif is not reducible to one meaning.

Tattoo magazine meaning article. Verbatim: "This noble predator represents strength, power, courage, protection, and leadership". It also ties meaning to depiction: "A lion with a crown represents absolute power, superiority, and leadership." and "A roaring lion symbolizes active protection, fearlessness".

ARTIST-SCOPED, and the scope matters: the source attributes this to one artist's body of work, not to the motif in general - “Sailor Jerry's iconic anchor tattoos are a symbol of strength and stability, and are often seen as a reminder of a sailor's connection to the sea.”
