Quite the Kirin : TattooSnob: The High End of Low-Brow

October 19th, 2011 Quite the Kirin

The image below is of a Kirin–not to be confused with a horse, dragon or unicorn. (I know, I’m just loaded with Wiki links as of late. Spread the word!)

Tattoo by: Peter Lagergren at Old Bones Tattoo in Malmö, Sweden

These quite simply are not tattooed enough.
We get SO many customers asking for Dragons and Koi and I usually try and slip the idea of a Kirin in there. So far one person has taken the bait but will have to wait to March to get it done…

On the other hand, it does make seeing a quality Kirin tattoo both a rarity and a joy. Can you imagine having to see as many poorly done Kirin’s as you do Koi?
