The Painted Lady Tee fuses two of the most iconic symbols in American traditional tattoo culture: the pin-up girl and the tiger. Pin-ups have been a cornerstone of tattoo flash since the early 20th century, a symbol of beauty, temptation, and independence that sailors and soldiers carried with them as reminders of home, love, or desire. Tattooers often gave them bold stances, alluring eyes, and sometimes their own tattoos — making them muses and rebels in equal measure.

The tiger, on the other hand, has long represented strength, ferocity, and raw instinct. In traditional flash, tigers embodied courage and survival, often snarling with teeth bared, unafraid of anything in their path. By placing the tattooed pin-up above the tiger’s head, this design creates a layered meaning: beauty commanding strength, danger paired with desire, tradition balanced with rebellion.

Printed with durable screen printing to lock in the bold lines and rich colors, the design sits on our 60/40 poly-cotton blend tee. The fabric balances softness and toughness — cotton for breathability and comfort, polyester for shape and longevity.

Available in black. Unisex fit, the Painted Lady Tee is a bold statement of classic tattoo culture reimagined as streetwear.
