Coming alive during the first World War and serving as the western front’s go-to disguise, gas masks are still incredibly popular to this day. So popular that, many artists who are known for having an “intimidating” tattooing style, ink them on peoples’ bodies quite regularly. However, despite the deathly look these masks give off, they have saved many lives and protected many soldiers from things such as disease, chemicals, and of course intense heat – proving that there is a deeper and more loving meaning to most of these designs.
