Sloths are arboreal mammals noted for slowness of movement and for spending most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America.

These animals derive from a very primitive group that may also include extinct relatives such as Paleoparadoxia.
sloth tattoos can mean :
–Fitting in, being accepted by the people around you even if it’s not something to be proud of.
–Chameleon-like personality, adjusting to your environment and fitting in.
–lazy and easy going, taking life one step at a time
Sloth tattoo designs are very unique tattoos that represent various things for different people depending on what they feel these animals mean or how they want them displayed. Some sloth tattoos have a three-toed sloth with text embedded within the image which is always fun to look at because it lets you know there is some sort of meaning behind the tattoo design. Sloths usually hold some sort of symbolic meaning for those looking into getting one as a tattoo design such as: laziness (hence the name), living life care free, taking things slowly, repeating mistakes or bad habits.
There are so many variations of sloth tattoos out there that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what these creatures mean which is why I think they make for wonderful tattoo designs. They can be traditional tattoos but also very modern and colorful which allows them to fit in with almost any style of tattoos that people choose to get on their skin.
You will find some sloths that look playful, cute and cuddly just chilling out while others might appear more serious meaning you’re looking at a symbol of doing nothing with your life.
The list goes on and on! Regardless of the way the artist decides to create their own version of a sloth you can always expect these animals to have a happy-go-lucky kind of vibe to them and always be doing something. Their laid back personalities along with their cuteness really makes everyone love sloths even more than they already do! They are definitely one of those animals you can watch all day long as they go about their business in the trees high above the ground, completely unaware of anything going on around them.

Sloth tattoos can be done realistically or they can also be highly original and creative which is another thing that makes these creatures so popular amongst tattoo lovers. You never know what to expect when looking at a sloth tattoo design but you will most certainly find various color schemes at play and each design is usually very clean and crisp looking for added appeal.
There isn’t much negative things I can say about these animals so if I had to choose something it would be how slow they are sometimes. They can also get a bit lazy and chubby which is still fine with me as long as they keep doing what they do best.
