The Vought F4U Corsair is one of the most frequently tattooed warbirds out there, but seeing an example painted as a Royal Canadian Navy version is fairly rare. This tattoo was accomplished by Vincent Meyer at www.tattoosbyvincent.com.

Artist Phillip Spearman of Inkworks Tattoo in Artesia, CA completed this detailed North American B-25J Mitchell tattoo recently on a client. The difficult location of the tattoo, on the arm, makes the straight lines of the bomber hard to photograph, so excuse the bent lines… but otherwise the detail is great!

The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most popular aviation tattoo themes out there and this B-17 black & gray tattoo by Eric Rignall of Inkstop Tattoo in New York City is more proof of it! Eric says this piece has been added to since the photo was taken, with buildings and a landscape to the background. Either way, it’s a fantastic piece and well executed no matter how you look at it.

An interesting mix of WWII technology and the workhorse of the Vietnam war is featured today… making us think that the client has a family connection to both perhaps. This black and gray piece was completed by artist Mez at Total Eclipse Tattoo in Fort Collins, CO.

We’ve got a few B-17 Flying Fortress tattoos to showcase in the coming few days starting with this great ribpiece by Mike Devries of Mike Devries Tattoos in Encino, CA.
The piece is still in progress, awaiting one more run through and background, but it still looks great and the placement is very unique and works well for the massive bomber.

Here’s one you don’t see everyday… a B-26 Marauder. This nearly photorealistic black and grey tattoo was completed by artist Pows One at Starlight Tattoo in New Jersey. I was even amazed with this one!
