World Wide Tattoo Designs

World Wide Tattoo Designs is an exciting new project created by a group of artists in Portland, OR, USA. Our mission is to bring together original tattoo art from all over the world and make it accessible to all.

We charge a nominal fee for downloading our tattoo images, which contributes to the development and maintenance of the project. A percentage of that amount goes back to the artist who created the design. In this way, we can help support the artist community and encourage development of new designs.

Our artists currently include tattoo artists, comic book artists and other graphic artists.

We are proud also to offer vintage designs from several old-school artists. We are currently featuring the late legendary Bert Grimm, whose shop was located on the Pike in Long Beach, CA. Bert tattooed many of the celebrated tattoo customers of the day, including Bonnie and Clyde, Buffalo Bill and Pretty Boy Floyd. See the vintage galleries here.

The original Bert Grimm flash resides at our home base, the oldest shop in Portland:

Sea Tramp Tattoo Co.
