The collective “awwwww” heard when puffins are involved is palpable. Who can’t love a puffin?

I decided to do a google search on puffin tattoos and voila! I found some. They are cute enough to be inked permanent by some. This first tattoo is ratherĀ  complex. There are two views of the same tattoo. ((We at Puffinpalooza.com do not recommend nor condemn getting tattoos but suggest you think a long time before getting one if you are thinking about it.))

The puffins are a central focus of this tattoo, aren’t they? Oh what a story they may tell. I wonder if we could get an interview with this person and ask. I will check it out and see what they say. The worst they can do is say no, right?

The last of three photos we found was on a woman’s arm.

It was faded but cute. It almost looks like the Puffin cereal puffin, doesn’t it? The stars around it and the circle. Its cute. The puffin king!

Whether elaborate or simple—puffins are just cute and apparently these people felt they worth the permanency of a tattoo. Puffins move people, they touch people. People can relate to puffins, adore them, fawn all over them. Adorn themselves with them.

Puffin tattoos are just one way these two people shared their appreciation for the clown of the sea.

If you have a puffin tattoo or find another—please let us know. We’d love to add to this post or make a new one.

INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
