P-40 Tattoo Up Close and Personal

Posted on December 11, 2008

Another colorful tattoo of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk — continuing the trend we’ve been seeing over the past few weeks of the P-40 being the icon of the aviation tattoo. I must admit that I even had the temptation of getting a Warhawk tattoo when I first started my tattoo project — but now am heading in the direction of a WWI aircraft sleeve (no one seems to do much with the First World War planes!). This tattoo brought back memories for me as the position of the plane is very similar to one of my first air-to-air photos with a New York-based P-40 as the subject. Good times.

Artist Pat B. of Green Man Tattoo in West Hartford, CT must have had a good time with this tattoo! His attention to detail shows it!
