A little change of scenery for a Monday morning — a tattoo of a dogfight involving the feared Messerschmitt BF-109 and a group of Supermarine Spitfires. The scene, perhaps taken right from the Battle of Britain, was tattooed by Tim Dunne of Trader Tim’s Tattoo in Alderley, Brisbane Australia.

Over the past few months we’ve come across various styles of tattoo art depicting aircraft and aviation themes, but this is one of the few that I have seen with a certain “propaganda poster” feel to it — very bold artwork and colors featuring the Supermarine Spitfire, one of the most famous RAF fighters of WWII.
Artist Stephanie Tamez of New York Adorned in New York, NY is really showing a unique side of tattoo art with this piece!

This fantastic black and gray tattoo of Amelia Earhart and her Lockheed 10A Electra was sent to us this week by the wearer, a licensed pilot in Washington who chose the powerful design after searching for artwork to use in an aviation-themed piece. The tattoo was done by artist Collin Delgado of Baraka Naga Art Company in Seattle, WA. The tattoo took ten hours over three sessions to complete.

Allie from Mesa, AZ sent us this great shot of her P-51 Mustang dogfight tattoo on the side of her ribs and stomach. She had it done at Compass Rose Studios in Fallbrook, CA by artist and friend Bluez.
Being very patriotic, Allie says she got the tattoo to honor the military and intends for her future tattoo work to do the same. She also said she was named after the Allison engine, the first engine on the P-51, so it was even more fitting!
