Sometimes the best tattoos are the simplest, just take a look at the old school designs popular in the earlier days of Western tattooing. Thick lines, bold contrast and simple designs… the building blocks of good tattoos.
Some may think airplane designs are the same way, simple equals better. Well… in some ways. For the sake of pure whimsy, early biplanes can’t be beat. Tough as nails, simple construction and more fun than should be legally allowed.
And that’s what this tattoo represents — the simple, fun biplane done in the simple and fun old school style. It was created by Virginia Elwood currently tattooing at NY Adorned in New York City, NY.
