Certainly a unique tattoo flying at us today! Pictured here is a colorful half sleeve highlighting the job of the crop duster — one of the riskier flying jobs out there, but a necessity in agriculture. The particular aircraft featured here is an Air Tractor AT-400. The tattoo is presumably in honor of a loved one who was a crop dusting pilot.
The tattoo comes our way from Manakin Tattoo Studio, Pismo Beach, CA.

Hey that’s my tattoo!! Ha…that is in memory of my father, Doug Gilbert. He was a crop duster, and passed away 10 years ago when he crashed fighting fires in Idaho as a volunteer fireman. Josh at Manakin did an amazing job, and I love the fact that I can look at my arm anytime and look at a beautiful picture of what my father truly loved doing.
