These Fennec Fox Tattoos Are Fecking Cute

Known for their large ears and beyond fecking cute faces, the fennec fox is a nocturnal desert dwelling mammal found in regions of Northern Africa. These omnivorous animals build their dens by burrowing into the sand to avoid the searing heat, some which have anywhere from one and up to 15 entrances.

Like swans, beavers, and penguins, fennec foxes mate for life. They can live up to 10 years in the wild and up to 14 years in captivity.

After searching through a rather small number of fennec fox tattoos (compared to other animals like lions or tigers) on Instagram, it’s surprising, albeit refreshing, to see how artists and clients have collaborated to produce truly unique tattoos of the same animal. A selection of animal tattoos doesn’t get any more varied than these fennec fox pieces.

Below you will find just about every tattoo and art style you can imagine; pieces with traditional elements like an animal head atop a woman’s head, or the animal paired with a flower, and then there’s crazy, colourful abstract pieces. The fennec fox’s sandy coloured fur, large ears and adorable face looks aesthetically pleasing in any style.

Use these images as a reminder of the endless artistic choices when it comes to animal tattoos.
