Zig-Zag For Life
A tribute to the iconic mark.
Zig-Zag has one of the most iconic, recognized, badass, and maybe even tattooed cannabis brand logos in the world. The ruggedly handsome, pirate-like French soldier known as the Zouave Man has been imprinted on partakers’ consciousnesses like a dashing movie star on a Sunset Boulevard billboard. And now, too, on living flesh in the form of tattoos.
When pop culture wants to cut to the chase of cool personified, simply mentioning the Zig-Zag brand is enough to evoke an insiderʼs affinity. Why else would everyone from Snoop and Dr. Dre to Tyler, The Creator, and even Roy Orbison conjure these lyrics? And the visual TV and movie references could easily fill a small volume.
To offer authentic appreciation to those humans who choose to forever honor our beloved Zig-Zag Man (or the brand’s logotype) as a tattoo, submit a photo online and Zig-Zag, the company, will provide papers for life, and a cool trophy, to proudly inked partakers. Be sure to visit ZigZag.com for all of the details.
“Zig-Zag has always been more than just a brand to me: it represents a lifestyle, a culture. Growing up around it, I saw how it brought people together and became part of everyday moments...
My tattoo was inspired by that connection: it’s a permanent reminder of the memories, and the authenticity that Zig-Zag stands for. It’s not just ink on my skin, it’s a symbol of something I’ve been a part of for a long time.”

“My passion for weed has always been huge. When I got a chance to combine my two favorite activities (smoking and tattoos), I couldn’t have gotten this forever art faster!”

“My dad has a Zig-Zag tattoo on his back. I wanted to get a matching tattoo and my homie Tyler is getting into tattooing so I thought the logo was a pretty simple design for him to practice...
I love repping Zig-Zag and the plant is a major part of my life and how I’ve met a lot of my friends.”
- Hank Mitchell
“I see Zig-Zag as a tool of creativity rooted in nostalgia. It’s what I’ve always used. It’s the reliable standard! You can always count on the Zig-Zag Guy. My tattoo is a symbol of the resourceful and imaginative community that stands behind him.”
