There is a duality in the symbolism surrounding foxes. While they are known for being a spirit guide to help navigate life's obstacles, they are also seen as cunning animals capable of deception. Due to their size and shape, they are quick to respond to physical and mental stimuli. For those going through a rough patch and in need of a little guidance, a fox tattoo will remind you that there is always a clever way out of a sticky situation.
