They heyday of the panther was during the ‘50s and ‘60s, when soldiers and greasers alike got tattoos of the apex predator in the wake of the boom in body art during World War II. It’s likely that so many of them choose the design because of its see-it-a-mile-away, tough-guy aesthetic, but some people think it’s because the dense shading of the design made a perfect cover-up. Thus it was used to mask regrettable stick and pokes gotten while in the pen or pinups after they were forbidden by the military. Whatever the true reason is, the black panther spread so quickly throughout the American scene that it was canonized almost immediately, becoming a pitch-black example of traditional tattoos at their fiercest.
