twice in the last week i have had people email me to request specific feather photos to be used for tattoos: one owl feather and this one above.  i originally posted this feather in a grouping with others from the same woodpecker (never confirmed, but red-bellied if i had to guess).  it was the second post i ever made on STILL blog: january 2, 2012. the request I received asked for “that woodpecker feather that looked more like zig-zags than polka dots.”  i knew exactly the feather he was looking for. good luck with your tattoo aivaras!
