Opossums could be described as the not-so-attractive distant marsupial cousin of native Australian possums. Often appearing scruffy and bearing their sharp teeth, opossums don’t receive nearly the same levels of animal appreciation as other species from the Americas. These tattoos are certainly doing their part in changing perceptions about opossums. The black and white furry, nocturnal and nomadic critters appear nothing but endearing and absolutely adorable in this selection of 30 tattoos.

Imperial Guard, Imperial Royal Guard, or Emperor’s Royal Guard – whatever you want to call them, here’s some tattoo inspiration for you. It’s all about the tattoo artists’ use of highlight in these pieces. Along with the addition of shading and hints of white, these tattoos have the dimension they need to avoid them looking like a big red blob of ink on their client’s skin. Not a fan of colour tattoos? No problem. The robe and armour of the guards is what they’re recognised for; a blackwork or black and grey tattoo will still look just as great as a neo trad or colour realism piece.

When you want to remember more than just the name of Goldust, you get a Goldust tattoo, right? Dustin Rhodes has been known by many names throughout his 30-plus year wrestling career, however, the one which remains iconic (despite some past controversy) has to be Goldust. The character was intended to be a parody of the Oscar statue and the film industry. The elaborate costuming in various shades of gold has evolved over time, with more black being introduced to the face paint and wrestling attire. In the late 90s Goldust would change up his face paint and look entirely, even taking inspiration from other wrestlers and entertainers, and changing…

Did you know: there are 17 species of hedgehog, but only certain species can be kept as pets in some areas of the world. Hedgehogs are native to only Asia, Africa and Europe, but were introduced to New Zealand where they are now (sadly) considered a pest. Spiky like porcupines and echidnas, hedgehogs are not related to either animal. Hedgehog is the title character in Beatrix Potter’s book The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. If you love Beatrix Potter then you could get a tattoo inspired by the book’s illustrations or have a subtle nod to them included in the design. If it’s just the animal that you’re interested in, have…
