The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is considered by some to be the ultimate fighter created during WWII. The sleek, twin-engine, twin-boom fighter that came from Lockheed in Burbank, CA was immortalized for many years during and following the war in media ranging from film (like 1943’s “A Guy Named Joe“) all the way down to the doodles penned by countless students in composition books as they day-dreamed about the ultimate fighter plane.
Somewhere in the middle lies the tattooed image of the P-38, like the tattoo we are featuring today. This particular tattoo was created by Tony Honaker of Sacred Body Art in Amelia, OH.
