This tattoo of an owl in flight shows David Hale’s signature illustrative style. He has used the red and black color scheme that was so popular in tribal tattoos, as well as retaining the typical pose used for birds in tribal tattoos; with its wings outspread and claws poised ready to strike. Owls are a symbol of darkness and the underworld and are said to be messengers between the land of the living and the realm of the dead.
