So what you are looking for, is a notorious Pretendian tattoo, that will immediately out you as cultureless and spiritually bankrupt, otherwise you wouldn't need to vulture from peoples you are not a part of, right?
Native American.....a lump term for 565 different Tribes, each with their own ideas concerning feathers.
Culture Vulture...a person who takes ideas, concepts and imagery from a culture they have no connection to, for their own selfish usage, because they think it looks "cool".
asking for ideas for "native American tattoos" is as ridiculous as asking for ideas for "Caucasian tattoos".
We aren't a single culture, we are 565 entirely different ones. But in all of them, eagle feathers have a sacred meaning, and are awarded. Wearing eagle feathers you haven't earned is as culturally disrespectful as wearing military medals you haven't earned, just because you happen to think they look cool.
Getting a tattoo with symbols from a culture you aren't a part of is insensitive, disrespectful, and is a cultural misappropriation, that will forever mark you as an outsider, a cultural thief, and a poser.
Get an original design from your OWN culture, one that will have meaning for YOU.

Oh, and please don't bother telling me that it's ok for you, because you are just honoring your great-great grandma, who was a full-blooded Cherokee princess. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...
Here are some GREAT native American tattoo ideas!

I was watching the Bones PPV a few weeks ago and I think it was a commercial or preview but one of the UFC fighters I saw had a cool tattoo. He had a half sleeve on his left arm (can't remember what of) and it continued to his back. But on his back, it was just like, a few feathers connect by a string. It looked really nice and I'm trying to get Native American ideas for tattoos and that would be perfect.
I tried Googling it but no luck. If you know who he is or find it on your travels, please let me know!
Cheers
