s/o Flags - State Flag tattoos/clothing

[pixy0stix]

Are state flag tattoos/clothing popular where you live (if you live in the US)?

Cause they're everywhere in CO.

I'm just including this as an example, because narwhale:

[mrshandy]

No, the VA flag is not that interesting.

[Scout'sHonor]

Lol, I don't think I'd get the narwhal, but yes, I already admitted to you I want the CO flag. We're a prideful bunch, ok?

[pixy0stix]

Also, I found this while searching.

Last time I was home in Maryland, I caught a guy wearing these:



But it's not a huge thing in MD.

I don't even know what Ohio's flag looks like, and I've lived here 6 years.

ETA:  People here are much more likely to have Ohio State or buckeye related tattoos than the Ohio flag.

[sparrowsong]

I love our Colorado flag. I think it helps that our flag has a nice design.

[josieposy]

Not that I've seen.

[swsaradee]

They're huge in Texas-tattoos, jewelry, clothing, home décor, etc.

CA's is plastered all over everything

Wisconsin: nailed it.

[tacosforlife]

Also, while searching for an image of the Wisconsin state flag, I found that the official government website explaining the flag is in...wait for it...wait for it....COMIC SANS!

this is neat if you are tracking where you have been.

but, while the violet is IL's state flower, its not our flag. maybe our flag was too detailed to shrink down?

ETA: is that CA's flag? i thought it was a bear?

No, that's our flower too. Golden poppy, king of all poppies.

Shirts and whatnot, but IDK that I've ever seen a tattoo of it. Google pulled up a mess, but I've never seen one in the wild. I mostly see skyline or 415 or 510 tattoos.

I knew a guy in Fresno in HS who got a 209 tattoo. The following year their area code was changed to 559. lol

[ijack]

The freaking CO flag is on everything these days!

[mbcdefg]

I've seen a few New Jersey tattoos. If I was a tattoo fan I'd probably get one myself.

I have these shirts:




MH handmade the NJ "Home" sign for our wedding anniversary a couple months ago.

MD people love their flag. I see people wearing flag nonsense all the time, because it's kind of a cool graphic. I also kinda blame/credit UA.

I've never noticed a MD flag tattoo irl, but google image search pops up quite a few relevant examples.




Unlike searching for PA flag tattoos, which gets you a whole lotta nothing because who wants a tattoo of this?

[2curlydogs]

I'm howling at the interpretation of the WI flag in that tattoo. Hahahha.

But then I googled "WI flag tattoo" and found this. And now I'm back to horrified.

ETA: Goddamn, I don't want to click the link to get the image. it's here

I've seen tats ... the bear w the red stripe

Area code tats ESPECIALLY in CA where we change area codes like we change our hair color are just a BAD idea

[pixy0stix]

PA flag looks like Cinderella.

[laurenpetro]

not that i've seen in NY or NJ.

[Deleted]

I've also noticed in CO a lot of 303 tattoos. The WY state flag is not as popular but Steamboat (the bucking horse) is. My brother has a Steamboat tattoo.  Not my brother:

[CallingAllAngels]

The SC flag is everywhere. That's one reason I don't get our fixation with the confederate flag. If you're not a racist a-hole, we have a perfectly nice flag you can fly to represent your southern heritage.

It's the only state flag not in the shape of a rectangle

[sunterp]

This is where I will show some Arizona Pride because that flag is awesome. I will not be getting it on my body but it is pretty.

I think 415 if you live in SF is a safe bet. MAYBE 510 if you live in Oakland. Outside of that...

[KateAggie]

I live in Texas. Do I even need to answer?

I think there's too much fine detail on ours to make a good tattoo, unless you were getting a huge tat.
