Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gypsy Warrior Tribe do traditional deer mounts, or only artistic pieces?
A shop with this kind of creative identity can handle both traditional and unconventional work, though their strengths may lean toward skull mounts, European-style displays, and artistic preservation. Call (630) 210-1918 to ask specifically what taxidermy services they're currently offering.
What is a European skull mount and how is it done?
A European mount preserves and displays just the cleaned skull and antlers of a deer, without a cape or form. The skull is cleaned by maceration, beetles, or boiling, then whitened and finished for wall display. It's a popular option for hunters who want a striking display at a lower cost than a full shoulder mount.
Can I get a taxidermy piece that incorporates jewelry or custom art?
This is exactly the kind of work that makes Gypsy Warrior Tribe unusual. The combination of taxidermy, jewelry, and tattoo work under one roof suggests a creative team that's comfortable blending disciplines. Reach out directly to discuss what you have in mind.
What kinds of animals are best suited for curiosity or collector-style displays?
Smaller animals, skulls, feathers, and natural oddities are common in collector circles. Squirrels, rabbits, birds, and unusual specimens from ethical sources are frequently used in artistic taxidermy and natural history displays. Always verify that any animal you bring in was legally obtained.
Is artistic or rogue taxidermy legal in Illinois?
Working with legally harvested or naturally deceased animals is generally permitted, but working with protected species or migratory birds is heavily regulated regardless of the intended use. Check with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources if you have any questions about a specific animal.
Can I get a tattoo and a taxidermy commission done at the same shop?
Yes, Gypsy Warrior Tribe lists both taxidermy and tattooing as services, which makes it a genuinely unusual one-stop shop for a certain kind of creative customer. Scheduling for both services separately and calling ahead for each is the best approach.
