Majestic Lion: Nature's Strength

Create a tattoo design featuring a realistic lion's head with a flowing mane, positioned on the side of the neck. The lion should exude strength and majesty, with intricate details in its fur and fierce, expressive eyes. The mane should blend seamlessly into swirling patterns that mimic natural elements like wind or waves, enhancing the dynamic flow of the design. The artistic style should be hyper-realistic, emphasizing depth and texture, with a size that covers a significant portion of the neck, extending slightly onto the shoulder. Utilize a rich color palette of deep golds, browns, and subtle hints of green to evoke a sense of vitality, while maintaining the option for a striking black and white version. Incorporate subtle tribal motifs within the mane to symbolize courage and leadership, creating an overall aesthetic that is bold, empowering, and deeply connected to nature.
