How much more Texas can you get than the official state mammal (small) nestled in the state plant? The vibrant colors of this bold tattoo blend together just right, making you want to crawl right up next to that armadillo, thorns be damned. Both state icons symbolize the rough exterior of this rugged state, yet still hint at its softer side too.
Barbed Wire Halo

The symbolism of this tattoo is captivating, just like the thousands of miles of barbed wire keeping cattle in and coyotes out. Plus, nothing really makes you a true Texan like cutting up a pair of jeans crossing over a barbed wire fence, no matter what the reason. Fitting that the outline of our beloved state is almost halo-like in its quiet yet bold tribute to our state.
Of all the ways loyal Texans pay tribute to this great state, a tattoo is one that will stand the test of time. Should you have a Texas-inspired tattoo, or know someone who does, please share it with us. Let’s show the rest of the world our Texas pride!
