Descripción del producto
The Zippo Tattoo Tiger (29884) is a genuine windproof pocket lighter that carries a tattoo-style prowling tiger engraved across a High Polish Brass case. Because the brass is polished to a mirror finish, the engraved tiger catches the light and appears to float just above the surface. It is part of Zippo’s Tattoo Design collection, it is refillable for a lifetime of use, and it carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Here is everything our Hosts can tell you about the design, the finish, and keeping it lit.
The Tattoo Design Collection and the Prowling Tiger
This lighter belongs to Zippo’s Tattoo Design collection, a line that translates classic tattoo-parlor artwork onto the Zippo case. The 29884 features a single prowling tiger rendered in a bold, linework tattoo style. The art is engraved directly into the brass rather than printed, so the tiger reads as part of the metal and reflects differently as you turn it in the light. It is a clean, masculine motif that works as an everyday carry and as a collectible piece for Guests who follow the Tattoo series.
High Polish Brass That Earns Its Patina
The case is solid brass given a High Polish Brass (254B) finish, which is the brightest, most reflective brass Zippo offers. From the factory it wears a thin protective coating that slows tarnishing; that coating gradually wears with handling. Over time the brass naturally develops a warmer patina, which many collectors prefer. If you want to keep the original mirror shine, a High Polish case can be cleaned with chrome polish, or you can restore the natural brass tone with brass polish. Either way the engraved tiger stays put because it is cut into the metal.
Windproof, Refillable, and Built in Bradford
Like every genuine Zippo, the 29884 is an all-metal windproof lighter with the signature Zippo click and a wind-resistant chimney that keeps the flame lit in conditions that defeat a disposable. Zippo has built its windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania for decades, and this one is no exception. It is fully refillable, so you are not throwing it away when it runs low. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, and over the life of the lighter you will occasionally swap the consumable parts: keep a pack of replacement flints on hand for the spark, and fit a replacement wick after a few years of use once the original darkens. With a fresh wick and flint, a properly fueled Zippo behaves like new.
Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, including the Tattoo Tiger 29884, carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The guarantee is honored by Zippo, not by the shop. If the mechanism ever fails through normal use, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it free of charge. We sell and stock the lighter here in El Paso; Zippo stands behind the repair. The guarantee covers the working mechanism, not the decorative finish, so normal patina on the brass is expected rather than a defect.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Does the Zippo Tattoo Tiger 29884 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. The Tattoo Tiger 29884 ships empty, which is standard for Zippo windproof lighters because fuel cannot be shipped inside them. Before the first use, slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid and stop when it reaches the top of the cotton. Keep the lid closed between uses, since the fluid evaporates over time even when the lighter sits unused.
Will the High Polish Brass on the 29884 tarnish, and how do I keep it shiny?
Brass naturally tarnishes, and that is normal for a High Polish Brass case. From the factory a thin protective coating slows it, and that coating wears off with handling, after which the brass develops a warmer patina many collectors like. To keep the bright mirror look, clean a High Polish case with chrome polish; to bring back the natural brass tone, use brass polish. The engraved tiger stays intact because it is cut into the metal.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Every genuine Zippo, including the 29884, is backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the working mechanism ever fails through normal use, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it free of charge. We sell and stock the lighter in El Paso, while Zippo handles the repair. The guarantee covers the mechanism, not the decorative brass finish, so natural patina is expected rather than a fault.
How often will I need to refill it and replace the flint or wick?
It depends on use. Many Guests top off the fuel about once a week, and more often with heavy daily use. A flint typically lasts a few weeks to a couple of months, so keep a pack of replacement flints handy. The wick lasts several years; once it darkens and stops drawing fuel well, fit a replacement wick to bring it back to full performance.
What does the tattoo tiger design represent?
The 29884 is part of Zippo's Tattoo Design collection, which puts classic tattoo-parlor artwork on the case. This one shows a single prowling tiger in a bold linework tattoo style, engraved into High Polish Brass. Because the surface is so reflective, the tiger appears to float above the brass when it catches the light. It is a clean, collectible motif rather than a printed graphic.
Is the Zippo Tattoo Tiger windproof and refillable?
Yes. It is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter with the signature click and a wind-resistant chimney that keeps the flame lit in gusts that would blow out a disposable. It is all-metal and fully refillable for a lifetime of use, so you top it off with lighter fluid instead of throwing it away. It is a flame lighter for everyday carry, not a vape or any kind of concealment device.
21+ only. A valid government-issued photo ID is required to purchase. This is a genuine Zippo windproof flame lighter; it is not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel, so add Zippo premium lighter fluid before first use. Zippo's lifetime guarantee is honored and performed by Zippo, not by El Paso Smoke Shops. Availability varies by store; check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso location currently stocks it.
