Over the centuries, as the bubonic plague ravaged Europe, doctors and self-appointed healers wore gruesome uniforms designed to protect them from the deadly miasma.

Clad in long, dark robes and high hats or heavy hoods, plague doctors wore beak-like masks stuffed with pleasant-smelling herbs, spices, perfumes, and dried flowers that “filtered” and warded off the stench of disease.

With the development of surgical and medical knowledge, such a costume was considered impractical and downright grotesque.

The image of the plague doctor abounds in Gothic folklore, being a symbol of crude times and fatal lack of knowledge, as well as a decadent figure of the most nightmarish scenarios. So it was only a matter of time before the tattoo world willingly transferred the plague doctor to a portrait in ink and flesh, resulting in gorgeous macabre drawings.

The plague doctor can be depicted in a variety of styles, but the signature “beak” remains intact. Dramatically rendered with a plague doctor tattoo in deep shadows and dark ink or in rich medieval tones, this figure is sure to send a delightful chill down the spine of those who catch a glimpse of what many once thought was death itself.
