Depending on how deep and well thought out the tattoo was it could mean several things, the best thing to do would be to ask the person whom got it what It means to them, because if it has a native American Association then the paw print could be of the persons totem animal or spirit guide. or it could be based in Celtic(Druid) beliefs. Or perhaps it is just pretty and that is why they got it.

The bear-paw tattoo is typical in a subset of gay culture. In gay society, a bear is a man who is typically larger and hairy, although it's not necessary that he be larger, as much as it is that he be hairy.

A younger bear in gay culture is, as in the animal world, called a cub.

The bear-paw tattoo is symbolic of one's pride in being a "bear" or a "cub" in gay culture.

A paw print tattoo, especially when it has a name with it, is a tribute to a beloved pet cat or dog. People often get this sort of tattoo as a memorial when the pet has passed away. In the native culture the bear means strength... so im getting bear paw tattoos to represent my kids... the meaning for my tattoo is my kids are my strength without them i wouldn't really have much to fight for or to be a better person . so that is my meaning of the bear paw

A paw print tattoo can symbolize love and connection with animals, loyalty, strength, and protection. It may also represent a special bond with a specific pet or a reminder of a beloved animal companion that has passed away.
