Pugilist Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have been really digging kitsune (Japanese foxes/mythical foxes with up to nine tails that shapeshift and make mischief) lately. I am thinking of getting one myself and in general think they are a beautiful subject for tattoos, but I am having trouble finding great examples of them! (Warning: if you google "kitsune" you get a lot of weird furry shit. I do not recommend it.) I know they must be out there, so please post awesome examples of kitsune tattoos and art that you have come across here. Thus far I really love, of course, the backpiece that Shige did on Uncle Allan: Source Source reverend1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2544-kitsune/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ask @hgiles to show you the one Brian Bruno blasted on his ribs. You will be impressed.

max thomas Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My left sleeve is a Kitsune done by Grime.

Avery Taylor Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think I remember reading that Valerie Vargas has one of these on her back done by Alex Reinke. I maybe completely wrong about this since I can't find where I read it.

Colored Guy Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Very cool, like something you see on silk prints or those screen panels. Probably have to hit some real art books as reference.

Cork Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Anytime you want to find anything Japanese, add "woodblock" to the search. Also, I get a ton of my information from this site: Oinari, Fox Spirit, God of Japan, Photo Dictionary of Japanese Buddhist & Shinto Deities Kitsune as a priest The 9 tailed fox in psuedo human form.

hgiles Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Ask @hgiles to show you the one Brian Bruno blasted on his ribs. You will be impressed. Unfortunately, I don't have a good picture of it. It's a hard area to photograph myself. Jeff Cribb did some mums around it -- maybe that pic is out there somewhere...

jubilantfawn Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for the kind words, here's an updated pic, finished it off yesterday. It was an absolute pleasure to be tattooed by Claudia, and Jolie Rouge is a great shop full of the most awesome people. Hope to return for some more work from her at some point in the future.
