Warrior

(UNISEX FIT, IF YOU’RE CAUGHT BETWEEN SIZES GO WITH THE LARGER VARIANT)

The Warrior’s Dance Tee draws on one of the most striking themes in American traditional tattooing: the Native dancer locked in eternal struggle with a serpent-like dragon. These designs became popular in the mid-20th century as tattooers borrowed from both Native American warrior imagery and Eastern dragon symbolism, fusing them into flash that represented resilience, survival, and the fight between chaos and order.

The dancer, often shown mid-motion, embodies strength, spirit, and heritage. The dagger — a staple of American traditional flash — adds intensity and finality, while the dragon/serpent represents danger, the unknown, and a worthy opponent. Together, the imagery tells a story of courage, conflict, and triumph, the kind of timeless narrative sailors, soldiers, and outsiders carried on their skin.

Like every Queens Head piece, the Warrior’s Dance Tee is screen printed to last, keeping the bold lines and saturated colors alive through years of wear. Cut from our signature 60/40 poly-cotton blend, it’s soft, breathable, and tough enough for everyday use.

Available in black. Unisex fit, this design carries the history and symbolism of traditional tattoo culture into modern streetwear.
