Love San Fran? Get a San Francisco Tattoo, Duh.

Nothing says “I love you” quite like getting someone’s name permanently inked on your body. In the case of many a proud Californian, it’s not a name, but a place: good old San Francisco. In our search for some of the coolest tattoos that pay homage to the city, we found more than one decidedly San Francisco tattoo. Check out a few below.

The Black-and-Gray California Bear, And Then Some

There’s a lot going on inside the iconic California bear that graces the state’s flag. The Golden Gate Bridge; homages to the San Francisco Giants, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Golden State Warriors (technically Oakland, but whatever); and of course, palm trees (not actually native to California, but Californian no less).

This colorful iteration of the California Bear (joined by one of the stars that also graces the flag!) features a photo-real sunset in contrast against the iconic lines of the Golden Gate.
