Celebrate National Black Cat Appreciation Day with 30 Purrfect Tattoos

Whether you find black cats to bring good luck or bad, they make awesome tattoos

August 17th is National Black Cat Appreciation Day, which celebrates the magic and allure of these furry felines. For centuries, black cats have been demonized in cultures around the world and up until very recently, they were disproportionately euthanized in shelters across the country. But, it’s their time to shine and what better way to pay homage than with tattoos. Take a look at 30 of our favorite black cat tattoos from talented artists around the world in the gallery below and let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section.

We would like to take a moment to express our immense and overwhelming gratitude for all of you that came out for yesterday’s flash/fashion event with our good friend @nuit.clothing.atelier .The turn out truly was beyond our wildest expectations , though we do apologize that the two of us were not able to tattoo each and everyone one of you . We will be working on other ways to accommodate many more for future flash events! Also thank you endlessly to our amazing shoppe manager @inthegraveyard ,the lovely @sstrazzere & @witching_mouth for all of your hard work in helping to bring this event and vision to life, here at the black veil. We couldn’t have done it without you guys. Stay tuned for many more upcoming events that we will be hosting here in Salem. Thanks again so much for all of your ongoing support we appreciate you all more than words can express. Stay Gloomy
