Inked Bird Love

As you know by now, we’ve been celebrating our Bird Love month (and Lark’s blogiversary) this June, and I thought we should celebrate the art of the bird in its many forms, especially its very personal, permanent, and beautiful ink form. The following photos capture just a sliver of the wide world of bird tattoos, but what an inspiring sliver it is.

Thank you to the artists, photographers, and inked individuals mentioned below for sharing their feathered inspiration.
