This little weirdo was photographed in Malaysia.

One of my favorites, due to his unique look. So haunting and eerie, yet so amazing at the same time.

That's the radest owl I've ever seen. I want a tattoo of one of these

It might be their "I see you" face, some owls do that.

These guys seem to almost distort with any movement they make. I've read they sit abnormally upright for an owl, which makes me wonder if they have different bone or muscular structure in any way. I haven't found anything on that yet though.

I've never been one to encourage someone to rush into a spur of the moment tattoo, but I will make an exception.... DO IT! 👹

Thanks for the encouragment!

The truth is I wanted some owl tattoo for a longer time but I've never seen species that's so unique and steal my heart just from one picture.

And all those typical "ask random preson to imagine an owl" owls are kinda boring and ...corny? Not to insult anyone, every owl is cool but that's just how I feel about tattoos 😅

It makes sense. I'm not a tattoo person (I change what I like or not too much!) but my brother is. I know he likes his later tattoos that he had a lot more input over it one his daughter drew then his early ones that were more of the "draw me a cool - " whatever.
