Sacred Heart with Dagger Pin, Pewter

The sacred heart
A heart crowned with flames, pierced by a dagger with an ornate guard. A great classic of old school tattooing: love that burns and the pain that comes with it. The pin is 8 mm (0.31 in) thick at the centre, with flat edges that sit flush on the leather.

Two attachment points
At 35 mm (1.38 in) wide and 37 mm (1.46 in) high, this pin sits on two posts: it stays firmly in place on your vest. To make sure you never lose it on the road, try our locking pin backs (you’ll need two).

Handmade, piece by piece
In our family workshop, since 1989, every pin is cast in solid pewter in our own moulds, deburred by hand and given an aged silver patina. The patina brings out every detail of the relief, and pewter never rusts. And it looks even better in real life than in the photo: the relief and patina really show once it’s in your hand.
