Product description
The Zippo Tiger Tattoo Design lighter (48613) pairs the brand’s classic windproof mechanism with bold tattoo-style artwork: a tiger prowling toward the foreground beneath a yin-yang symbol, printed as a high-contrast Color Image on a Tumbled Brass case. It is a genuine refillable Zippo, all-metal, gift-boxed, and protected by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Our Hosts stock and handle these across El Paso Smoke Shops, and the live availability on this page shows which El Paso store has it right now.
A tiger in perfect balance
This piece belongs to Zippo’s Tattoo Design collection, where flash-style art is printed across the lighter case. The artwork shows a tiger moving toward the foreground beneath a yin-yang symbol. In Chinese tradition the tiger is the yin, earthly figure of patience and instinct, and the yin-yang circle represents the unity of opposites and the balance of all things. The result is a striking, meaningful design that reads instantly across a room. It is a popular gift for anyone drawn to tiger imagery, tattoo art, or the idea of staying balanced and ready.
Genuine Zippo windproof performance
This is a real Zippo windproof lighter, not a clone. The all-metal Classic case opens and closes with the distinctive Zippo click, and the windproof chimney shields the flame so it stays lit in wind where a disposable would blow out. It runs on a wick, flint, and premium lighter fluid, which is what makes it refillable and reusable for years rather than disposable. It is a flame lighter only, not a vape and not a concealment device.
Tumbled Brass that ages with character
The case finish is Tumbled Brass, a softly worn, rustic surface that trades a mirror shine for a hand-finished, lived-in look. Brass is a warm, durable case metal, and the tumbled texture hides everyday handling marks better than a high-polish finish, so the lighter keeps its character as it travels in a pocket or bag. The Color Image artwork sits crisp and high-contrast against that matte brass background.
Fueling and caring for your Zippo
Like every Zippo, this lighter ships empty for safety, so plan to fuel it before first use. Slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid and stop when the fluid reaches the top of the packing. The flint is a wear item that an average user replaces every few weeks, so it helps to keep a pack of replacement flints on hand. The wick darkens with carbon over time; once or twice a year you pull it up about a centimeter with tweezers and trim it level with the chimney, and after a few trims you fit a replacement wick. Those three simple consumables are what keep a Zippo lighting reliably for decades.
Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo’s world-famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge; El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee. The artwork and finish are cosmetic and not covered, but the working parts are protected for the life of the lighter.
The Zippo Tiger Tattoo Design lighter (48613) is a gift-boxed, all-metal windproof lighter with meaningful tattoo-style art and a finish built to age well, all standing behind Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. El Paso Smoke Shops operates 10 locations across El Paso, TX, and this model is carried in select stores, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it in stock.

Questions & Answers
What does the tiger and yin-yang design on the Zippo 48613 mean?
The 48613 shows a tiger prowling toward the foreground beneath a yin-yang symbol, printed as a high-contrast Color Image. In Chinese tradition the tiger represents yin, the earthly, instinctive figure whose strength is patience and knowing the right moment to strike, while the yin-yang circle stands for the unity of opposites and the balance of all things. Together the design reads as power held in balance, which is why it is a popular pick for fans of tiger and tattoo-style art.
Does this Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, the 48613 ships empty for safe shipping, so you fuel it before first use. It is engineered to run best on Zippo premium lighter fluid, which we carry separately. Fueling instructions are included in the gift box.
How do I refill the Zippo 48613, and what fuel should I use?
Lift the insert out of the case, then slowly saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping when the fluid reaches the top of the packing or begins to change color. Wipe off any excess and let it settle before lighting. Zippo windproof lighters are designed to perform best with genuine Zippo fluid and flints.
How often do I replace the flint and wick on a Zippo?
The flint is the most frequent wear item; an average user replaces it about every few weeks, so it helps to keep replacement flints on hand. The wick lasts far longer: once or twice a year, when it darkens with carbon, pull it up roughly a centimeter with tweezers and trim it level with the chimney, then fit a replacement wick after it has been trimmed a few times.
Is the Zippo 48613 covered by the lifetime guarantee, and who repairs it?
Yes. This is a genuine Zippo, so it carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever stops working, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo honors the guarantee. The printed artwork and case finish are cosmetic and not covered, but the working parts are protected for the life of the lighter.
Is the Tumbled Brass case refillable and reusable, or is it disposable?
It is fully refillable and built to be reused for years, which is the whole point of a Zippo. The all-metal Tumbled Brass case houses a removable insert with a wick, flint, and fluid reservoir, so you keep the same lighter and simply replenish those inexpensive consumables. It is a flame lighter only, not a vape and not a concealment device.
You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a genuine Zippo windproof, refillable flame lighter; it ships empty, so lighter fluid is sold separately. It is a lighter only, not a vape and not a concealment device. Use responsibly and keep away from children.
