Oh Deer!

Take a look at some seriously delightful deer tattoos.

Growing up in Vermont, deer were all over the place and it was common to see at least three or four crossing the road on a drive home at night. In fact, deer are so prevalent that my family had one as a pet. About fifty years ago, my great grandmother found a baby deer in her backyard. She waited a few hours for the mom to come back, but she never did and the fawn was abandoned with a broken leg. My great grandmother took the fawn to the vet and then kept the fawn as a pet in her home, naming him Bambo. She kept the fawn until he was old and strong enough to go out on his own. Once he’d matured, she let him go back to the woods and for a few months, she believed this was the last she’d ever see of Bambo. However, once winter came, the fawn came back with sprouting antlers and every year after that, they allowed Bambo to come visit during the winter.

It may be pretty uncommon to have a pet deer, but many of us feel connected to the deer we grew up with in media. Growing up, millions of people from around the world saw Disney’s “Bambi” as a child and fell in love with the clumsy fawn, as well as his friends Thumper and Flower. Then, in January of 2020, it was announced at “Bambi” would be adapted into a live action feature film. According to Disney, this film will be a “companion piece” to other CGI wildlife films in their library, notably 2016’s “The Jungle Book” and 2019’s “The Lion King.” In honor of the upcoming “Bambi” live action film, take a look at some of our favorite deer tattoos from talented tattoo artists around the world.

Hello the first Instagram post since…a month! Thank you Sophie ☀️I am always happy when people come back to me for another tattoo, even if I sometimes don’t recognize them behind their mask at first ☀️☀️☀️ It’s been quiet here in the last few weeks, I’m going through a phase of change and have to sort out a few personal issues. so far I actually thought that I could handle the pandemic situation quite well. But the last few weeks have started a chain reaction of thought processes, and now I am in a valley of overwhelm. I want to change a few things in my life, but also the way I work and of course the process of making appointments (which under the current circumstances just doesn’t work as well as it did before). Change is a very slow process. In the end, I’m like a cat, a creature of habit and it takes me a long time to get used to new circumstances. I also know that many people wait a long time for an e-mail reply, but I just can’t do it better right now, because it’s just too much for me in my current situation. I think about how I can improve that, but I also know that I just have less energy for it right now, I try to find somebody to help me with that. Strange times, these days… ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ #tattoonürnberg #tattooartist #germantattoooers #gostenhof #blackworktattoo #blackworkersubmission #dotwork #dotworktattoo #abstract #abstracttattoo #surreal #surrealtattoo #illustration #tattrx #blackworknow #blackworkersubmission #tattoonürnberg #nürnbergtattoo #deer #deertattoo

“We are all going to die” • I’m so honored I got to do ANOTHER @foreversoftcore design! After I seeing the last one I did, Maria reach out with the hopes of gettin this fawn design. I reached out to Lindsay again to make sure she was ok with me recreating another her design as a tattoo. I was just tickled when she gave me the go-ahead! • Thank you so much @foreversoftcore you’re amazing! • • #fawn #fawntattoo #weareallgoingtodie #doomandgloom #debbiedowner #deer #ohdeer #ohdear #tattoo #cute #adorable #artistssupportingartists #colaboration #foreversoftcore
