North American B-25 Mitchell Tattoo WWII Airplane Tattoos In Flight Phillip Spearman SmallArtist 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!

Please click the link below for a larger shot of the tattoo.

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Tattoo WWII Airplane Tattoos In Flight Eric Rignall Small 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.
