Raccoons are referred to as trash pandas – in Australia we have bin chickens: the ibis.
The sister of the African sacred ibis (associated with the Egyptian deity, Thoth) the Australian white ibis populations have moved into urban areas where they’re often seen rummaging through garbage bins.
Ibis are long-legged wading birds with curved bills. The 28 species are (generally) found in wetlands around the world.
Aside from being put onto your body, where will your ibis be placed in your tattoo? Will you put in back in its proper natural habit, or a cityscape where you would often encounter them? These nine pieces will surely inspire your choice of style and decorative elements for your own bin chicken/ibis tattoos.
