When I started becoming interested in tattooing in the 90’s, one of the first images that connected my passion for aviation and tattooing was the one we are featuring here today. This tattoo of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh by famed tattoo artist Shotsie Gorman was featured in countless magazines and exhibitions after it was completed. We’ve found a video clip where Gorman speaks about the tattoo and the challenges it presented — click here to view it.
Shotsie Gorman has relocated to Sedona, Arizona and now practices his art from Shotsies Soul Signing in the beautiful and artistic central Arizona community.
This particular photo was taken by photographer Bill DeMichele of Proteus Press. DeMichele’s work is seen each month in International Tattoo Art magazine and this month’s 15th Anniversary issue of the magazine features a full article on DeMicheles work.
