I hate to keep going on about this, but the Aztecs wore feathered bonnets. So did the Incans. Not exactly like this, but it's still not out of the realm of possibility that it's a fictionalization of her native heritage. It seems like everyone's attacking this girl without knowing the first thing about the story behind this tattoo. Instead, let's pick on all the frat boys who get Chinese character tattoos without having any idea what they mean. Or people who get Pacific Islander tribal tattoos.

It does not look like an Aztec headdress. It could possibly be Incan, but stylistically, it looks like a warbonnet from a plains tribe. According to the girl’s sister, the girl’s grandmother is Native American. However, it seems to me that if you were aware of that culture and were hoping to honor that culture, you wouldn’t do so by taking sacred symbols of your own culture and using them in a way that most who identify with that culture construe as offensive.

And I don’t see why we should pick on people with “Chinese” character tattoos (not always Chinese) or Pacific Islander tribal tattoos, and not this person’s Sexy Native Lady Warbonnet tattoo. They’re all equally offensive as far as I’m concerned.
