The Reality Check.

Feathers are made of thousands of tiny strands.
Capturing that texture is hard.
Visual Technique:
A bad feather tattoo looks like a leaf.
A good feather tattoo shows the separation in the barbs. It looks frayed. It looks real.
Our printing uses fine-line detail to create that “soft” look.
Symbolism:
The feather represents flight.
It represents the element of air.
It represents a message from the spirit world.

The History: Chiefs & Quill Pens

Why do we value feathers?
They are gifts from the sky.

Native American Honor
In many tribes, an Eagle feather was the highest honor.
It was earned through bravery.
Wearing a feather represented a connection to the Great Spirit.
Our boho feather designs pay homage to this spiritual connection (with respect).

The Quill Pen
For centuries, we wrote history with feathers.
The quill represents communication, poetry, and truth.
A feather tattoo is often worn by writers (the “Ink & Quill”).
It symbolizes the power of words.

The Peacock
In mythology, the eyes on the Peacock’s tail represent the all-seeing stars.
It is a symbol of vision, royalty, and immortality.
It is loud. It is proud.

Styles: Peacock, Eagle, and Boho

Feathers come from different birds. Each has a vibe.

The Peacock Feather
Iridescent blue, green, and gold.
The “eye” pattern is hypnotic.
This needs Standard Ink to capture the shimmer.
It looks incredible on the ribs or the thigh.

The Eagle Feather
Black and white. Rigid. Strong.
This is a masculine feather.
It represents strength and focus.
Great for the bicep or calf.

The Boho Dreamer
A generic feather turning into birds (the flock).
Or a feather attached to a leather band or dreamcatcher.
It represents wandering.
“Not all who wander are lost.”

Sticker vs. Semi-Permanent (Feather Edition)

Option 1: Standard Ink (The Color Choice)
Pros: You get the colors.
A peacock feather without color is just a shape.
You need the teal and the gold.
Standard Ink allows for intricate color gradients.
Cons: Sits on top.
Best for: Peacock designs and watercolor feathers.

Option 2: Semi-Permanent (The Soft Choice)
Pros: Sinks into the skin.
The ink spreads slightly, which actually helps the feather look “fuzzy” and soft.
It avoids the hard sticker edge.
It looks like a charcoal sketch.
Cons: No color. Monochrome only.
Best for: Eagle feathers, quills, and writing tattoos.

Placement: Follow the Wind

Feathers should look like they are floating or resting.

The Ribs (The Float)
A large feather floating down the ribcage.
It follows the curve of the body.
It is delicate and sexy.

The Forearm (The Quill)
A quill pen running along the forearm.
It points to the hand (the writer).
It is a tool of the trade.

Behind the Ear
A tiny feather tucked behind the ear.
It represents listening to the spirits or the wind.
It is discreet.

Application: The Fray

Feathers have frayed edges.
These tiny lines can lift if applied poorly.

The Protocol:

1. Clean: Use alcohol to remove oils.
   • Oils prevent the tiny edge lines from sticking.
2. Sponge: Press the sponge firmly on the edges.
   • Don’t just soak the middle. The edges are the most important part.
3. Powder: A shiny feather looks like plastic.
   • Dust with baby powder.
   • This makes the strands look like dry keratin (real feather material).

FAQ: Feather Symbolism

Q: What does a white feather mean?
It is often seen as a sign from a guardian angel.
“Someone is watching over you.”
In our Standard Ink, we use white pigment to create this look.

Q: Can I get the “Birds flying out of feather” tattoo?
Yes.
It is called “The Flock.”
It is one of the most popular designs of the decade.
We have it in multiple sizes.

Q: Will the color rub off on my clothes?
Standard: No, once dry, the ink is sealed.
Semi-Perm: Be careful the first night while it develops. It can transfer to sheets. After that, it is locked in the skin.
