Chinese Zodiac - Year of the Tiger by Stephanie Smith
The Tiger is one of the 12 Animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac. In the background is the Chinese character for the Tiger.
Tiger people are said to charismatic, dynamic, and passionate. You are probably a Tiger if you were born in 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, 1938, or 1926, but double-check the exact dates if your birthday is in mid-January to mid-February because the Lunar New Year is on a different date each year. Wikipedia’s Chinese Zodiac page is a good starting point for more information about all of the signs and their meanings.
This image is also available in black-and-white and on a T-shirt.
