Florida Panthers Stanley Cup tattoos by CJ Ugarte: embroidery-style patch tattoos celebrating the 2024 Cup win, at Electric Street Tattoo.
At Electric Street Tattoo, we pride ourselves on being a traditional tattoo shop in Oakland Park, and this year, we’re thrilled to celebrate the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup championship win in a special way. Our talented artists have been creating some incredible Panthers tattoos, and one artist, in particular, has been making waves with his unique style. Meet CJ Ugarte, the mastermind behind our stunning embroidery-style panther patch tattoos.
Panthers and the Cup
Embroidery style tattoos, also known as patch tattoos, are a fascinating and unique niche in the tattoo world. These tattoos are designed to look like embroidered patches, giving the illusion that they are stitched onto the skin rather than inked. This style combines the traditional art of embroidery with modern tattoo techniques, creating a three-dimensional effect that makes the designs “pop” off the skin.
2024 Stanley Cup Champions
What Makes Embroidery Tattoos Unique:
Three-Dimensional Effect: Unlike most tattoos that appear flat, embroidery tattoos use shading and color layering to create a realistic, textured look. This makes them stand out as if they were actual patches sewn onto the skin.

Detailed Designs: The designs often mimic classic embroidered patches, including elements like loose threads and intricate stitching patterns. This requires a high level of skill and attention to detail from the tattoo artist.

Combining Old and New: This style bridges the gap between ancient embroidery techniques and contemporary tattoo art, making it appealing to both traditionalists and modern tattoo enthusiasts.

Panther & Tiger Tattoos: Traditional Big Cat Tattoos
Panther, tiger and lion tattoos at a traditional shop: what big cat tattoos mean, the classic flash designs, and other animal tattoos we love.
Why we love big cat tattoos
Cats get lots of love here at Electric Street Tattoo to say the least.
Panthers, tigers, cheetahs, lions and leopards…
WE LOVE THEM ALL
We believe that inside every cat is a fierce hunter.
Even your more domesticated house cat is a warrior and hunter at its core.
What big cat tattoos mean
The big cats have a long standing relationship with tattoos. Since ancient times they have been seen as protectors from evil and even thought to be guides into the afterlife! Pretty cool right?
And so it only makes sense that the world of tattooing adopted them long ago and never looked back. In American Traditional flash, the crawling panther, often clawing down the arm, and the snarling tiger head are two of the classic designs. Bert Grimm’s tiger is still tattooed today. Read about Bert Grimm.
Sure enough dogs are mans best friend and we do get requests for dog tattoos as well, mostly portrait style tattoos from dog owners who want to immortalize their four legged companions. Nothing like feline tattoos though.
Panthers, tigers and lions
Tigers in particular are ferocious, graceful and breathtaking. Or take the lion for example. We aspire to mimic its stoic nature. It’s no wonder the popularity of our furry friends continues to surge year after year.
These god like creatures have mesmerized humans since way back when we lived in caves. A deep growl in the night was cause for panic.
In modern day the closest we get to a big cat would be at the city zoo, from behind plenty of thick glass or a cushy moat. Or, if you’re like us, at the tattoo shop where you can see your favorite tattoo artist breath life into one of these beautiful felines with needle and ink.
The Egyptians thought of felines as royalty. To the extreme that mummified cats have been found alongside their human counterparts.
Cats, both big and small, are wild and sensual. They are uninhibited and sexually powerful.
They exhibit leadership qualities which make them very attractive to tattoo collectors who are self defined as leaders who are not prone to ‘following the leader’.
If any of the above resonates with you then a big cat tattoo might be what you’re looking for.
Regardless of race, religion and cultural background, the feline transcends and captures the essence and feeling of raw power and energy.
Ultimately, they make for badass tattoos.
Other animal tattoos
Animals have been part of tattooing in every culture for thousands of years. In military and prison tattooing, they stand for power and authority. Not sure what to get? Try connecting with your inner animal.
Josh’s own collection is proof: an eagle on his chest, two wolves, a tiger on his ribs, several snakes, a black panther back piece, countless swallows and sparrows, and Pharaoh’s horses on his stomach. See eagle tattoos.
