A fighter, also called a fighter plane, It is a small, very fast and highly maneuverable aircraft, specially designed for combat against other aircraft., unlike bombers, which are designed for air-to-ground combat.

The first fighters emerged during World War I, when a smaller, more maneuverable aircraft was needed that could fight other planes and airships. The first fighters were especially biplanes equipped with small arms and light weapons. Currently there are a lot of different ones, depending on the propulsion or its function (if they are designed to fly at night, for example).

Usually hunting tattoos are especially loved by those who have been in military service, especially in the air force. For them, a tattoo of this type of aircraft (as opposed to commercial aircraft, which tend to have meanings related to travel) usually symbolizes their work, as well as an especially memorable or tough campaign, or even to honor a fallen comrade.

Hunting tattoos can be very impressive or be a very discreet design. It's up to you! Today we give you a few ideas, to see which one you like the most:

Realistic hunting tattoo

One of the most popular styles when it comes to getting hunting tattoos is opting for realism. Whether based on a newer or older fighter aircraft model, realism, especially black and white, can reflect the strength and beauty of these machines, making it ideal if you're looking for a solemn design.

And if you don't want the plane to be left alone, you can always accompany it with its pilot, also in a realistic style. Especially in black and white, the trick to these tattoos is not only that you find a specialist tattoo artist, but also that you inform yourself well about the types of uniform and plane that you want to show in the tattoo. Don't forget to contextualize the scene, either, whether it's a frantic battle or a leisurely stroll through the sky.

Hunting in traditional style

The other great style for hunting tattoos is the traditional one. The reason is obvious: today's army pilots are first cousins ​​to the rugged sailors who plied the oceans a couple of hundred years ago. That's why the traditional style looks great, especially if you're going to choose a design based on an old plane. In addition, it can be in black and white, although in color they are impressive.

Simple hunting tattoos

Hunting tattoos can also be small

These tattoos are not only nourished by realism and the traditional style: a simple style also works very well, especially if you are looking for a design that is especially discreet. Some places where you can tattoo this type of designs include the fingers, the wrist, the arm, the neck, behind the ear… In this case, the crux of the matter is to choose an aircraft that has a nice profile and is recognizable.

Fighter Pilot Profile

Fighter pilots go a long way and don't just look good in a realistic style. For the most daring, it is possible to combine a traditional style, with thick lines and bright colors, with a scene inside the profile of the pilot's head, as in the photo. A design that can be very cool if you find the right tattoo artist.

Tattoo with giant and very colorful hunting

Color gives life and emotion to these tattoos

If you want a very large design that attracts a lot of attention, opt for a piece as gigantic as possible. Take advantage of places like the back or the chest to integrate it, in addition, it will look great because it will give you a little mobility (not literally, of course, we are talking about an optical effect). Color is also key for the tattoo to make sense and stand out even more: take advantage of the craziest designs of the oldest fighters to achieve a spectacular design.

And we end with another idea that can be very cool if you know how to take advantage of it and find the perfect tattoo artist. A scene with realistic-style fighters and colors is especially difficult to achieve, since the air battles are very chaotic and on top of that there are no reference points, so the design, poorly managed, can be a bit flat.

However, do not limit yourself to the typical realistic battle for hunting tattoos: if you opt for a simple style, traditional or even cartoon the design can be very surprising and original and, on the rebound, look very good.
