When you're sayin' patriotic, reckon you can't go past the Indigenous art styles too. Maybe some Indigenous-inspired patterns surroundin' them animals would make your sleeve dope as.

I'm an artist myself albeit paint not ink, but if you're chasing that authentic Aussie look, don't forget the landscape! The red sands, the bush – let the background tell the Outback story too, eh?

Not sure about famous pieces, but I saw this amazing thylacine tattoo on Insta the other day. Looked so lifelike! Lamenting I didn't save it, sorry mate! Good luck with your search.

Mate, throw in a Southern Cross in there somewhere, coz nothing screams Aussie pride like that! Also, consider Timmy B, a sick artist who has done some fabulous detailed work on Aussie animals.

Love the idea of wildlife tatts! I got a sleeve with various endangered species from Down Under to raise awareness. Artists like Lauren Winzer have done some neat Australian-themed pieces - worth checking out!

For a proper patriotic sleeve go for native flowers too! I've got a mix of waratahs and kangaroo paws in mine, looks ace between the fauna. Check out some local tattoo expos for inspiration.

Hey! Check out the work by Chris Jones at Victims of Ink in Melbourne if ya can. His realism work is mental, got a cockatoo on me arm from him and it's a showstopper!

Lol might as well tattoo a jar of Vegemite and a can of VB to complete the bogan look mate.
