This is my thylacine tattoo image, which will be my first trial tattoo...the tat I plan to get before I go major with a werewolf tat I'm working on. I hope to be able to afford to get this tat this year on Sept. 7 on the anniversary of the death of Benjamin, the supposed last thylacine which died in captivity on this date in 1936.

If you love thylacines enough to want to get this as a tat, feel free...just show me your ink once you get it done!

Poor thylacines, wiped out so brutally.
A beautiful image of a beautiful creature.

What a wonderful tribute to the Thylacine, but unfortunately it is gone thanks to the ignorance of man.

I love it! I might give this design a try I've been needing to get the tattoo machine out. I'll be sure to send you pics. I've always wanted a thylacine tattoo :)

Awesome, just beautiful. I love the shape, being round makes it a great emblem too. Tis a sad date... yet bringing new life to the thylacine to the world with your tattoo is also meaningful, so maybe that's a good thing. ^_^

Well, to be fair it was mostly the Europeans..regardless though...it was humans in general. But there is still hope. I firmly believe there are a couple small pockets of thylacines remaining yet.

Thats true, it is humans in general. I wish there were still soem alive, but I'm afraid there are none left at all, someone would have seen something.

I love thylacines and werewolves, but not for the degree to put a tattoo on my ugly skin. Any otehr choice for the date? a banner? a button? a link perhaps?

Not necessarily. There's talk about at least 5 remainder "hot spots," though not in Tasmanian per se, because it is believed that thylacines were released secretly onto the mainland of Austrailia before the supposed extinction,and there's a few other reasons too. But it's not too terribly hard to believe (or is it?) that someone hasn't captured this animal on film yet. Even people seeking gorillas in the mountains can spend months looking if they don't have a guide, and there's far more of them. There's a lot of evidence to suggest that the thylacine IS still around, but because of the government's logging industry and other reasons like farmers, nobody wants this animal to be found even if it does exsist. I read that one of the largest of Aussies exports apparently is in wood chips, so their logging industry is huge. Irregardless, the said "hot Spots" are probably so small as to say that the species, even with direct human intervention right now, is probably "functionally extinct".
