The Kookaburra is considered a symbol of love. The tattoo is a basic and a miniature piece. Overall the tattoo artist has shown that minimal can be abundant. The animal is inspired by the heart of Australia where it is mostly local yet a typical Aussie symbol.
Southern Cross Sugar Glider
This is a beautiful and intricately designed tattoo of a sugar glider on the side leg region. The vibrant colours add so much radiance to the tattoo that it looks popping and is visually very appealing. The eyes especially stand out with the light reflecting on them. The detailed flower work also adds life to this breathtaking tattoo.
The placing of the tattoo is also done thoughtfully as the way the sugar glider is drawn and wraps around the leg, the angles really fit into place. The colours compliment each other and this is a beautiful piece of artwork by the tattoo artist.
May Gibbs Mushrooms
This particular tattoo portrays May Gibbs mushrooms, which are two very famous characters of an Australian illustration. This delicately detailed tattoo is placed on the sleeve region which is the perfect spot due to adequate spacing. These mushrooms almost look lifelike and real.
That’s how well the tattoo artist designed and drew it. The shadow work itself is marvellous and exquisite. The shading and expressions of the characters have been captured well.
Australian Koala tattoo
Here is a very vibrant piece of art; this tattoo shows us a beautifully portrayed koala. Koalas are a national symbol of Australia’s distinctive wildlife. This brightly coloured tattoo depicts how perfectly and lifelike the animal has been drawn on the man’s arm, it’s very realistic.
This piece of art is richly decorated and every piece is well crafted, every detail is well drawn and even the eyes of the koala are so expressive. Most of the tattoos are black and white while this one stands out of the crowd as vividly fluorescent; it is soft yet superior. This tattoo would be a perfect choice for anyone who is looking for an idyllic image. This tattoo will for sure bring out a smile to anyone who sees it.
Australian Wattle Plants
This exquisite piece of art is a tattoo of wattle plants. Placed on the inner wrist you can notice the delicate details of this particular tattoo. Blackwork makes it stand out. The shading work through dot styled patterns in particular has been done marvellously.
The way the eucalyptus leaves and the wattle flowers fit in together makes the tattoo the centre of attention.
Kangaroo Tattoo
It is a magnificent piece of a tattoo on the leg of a person above the ankle. It’s a piece sharing a warning sign of a kangaroo with an extravagant patchwork effect. The tattoo artist has maintained a perfect balance between various colours and their hues. The vertical effect of the tattoo which seems thread like gives it an astonishing look.
The messy unfinished thread look on the borders of the tattoo gives it a realistic overview of the whole tattoo. The delicate shaded ink on the thick borders gives it an amazing appeal. Overall, it is a very creative way to portray the national animal of Australia, by using it as a symbol rather than drawing the real portrait of it.
