This lifestyle piece
This just looks cool. “Calilife” sprawled out along the surface of the state with an engraved font and a deep drop shadow. (Photo: American Iron)
This state collage
So much cali here. (Photo: Deann Wardin)
Living the dream
A unique font choice but that sunset is something special. Black silhouetted palm trees set against a sunset always screams Cali. (Photo: Anthony McMullen)
These California roots
I can’t imagine this Colorado tattoo shop does many State of California tattoos. But when your roots are in Cali, sometimes you just gotta ask for what the heart wants no matter what the locale.
California love
One of my favorite tattoos on the list. The phrase “California love” made world famous by the late Tupac Shakur hits a deeper note for those who call California home. (Photo: Pinterest)
This black & white bear
Go bears. California bears that is. (Photo: Twisted)
California hibiscus
Here we have a lightly shaded State of California flanked by three beautiful hibiscus flowers. At least I think they’re hibiscus flowers. If anyone with more botanical knowledge than me can either confirm or deny this it would be greatly appreciated. (Photo: unknown)
This fantastical furry fellow
From the adorable subject matter to the delicate font, this piece truly is in a league of it’s own. Props to Erik Jacobsen for a job well done.
