Glada killar och lite Jävlaranamma!
Såhär glada var Kalle och Johannes när de prytt sin hud med snygga Jävlaranamma-rävar! Kalle gör t.o.m Captain Morgan-posen, så glad är han! Shorts hela vintern (och mag-tröja för Johannes?) och helt klart coolast på spelningen 22'e oktober! :)
Lauren's Hourglass
Occasionally we'll share a reader submission and today we have a piece contributed by Lauren. She sent in this cool hourglass:
Lauren explains:
Lauren explains:
"I decided on an hourglass after wanting something to represent living your life to the fullest and realizing time is precious. After thinking and going through all the quotes I could find I decided I would get an hourglass to represent it all. Paul Anthony Dobleman at Spider Murphy's Tattoo in San Rafael, CA is a genius. He has done about 75% of my tattoos and he took my idea and ran with it. Exactly what I wanted. Couldn't be happier! The tattoo is located on my left rib cage."Thanks to Lauren for sharing her timely tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

"En kväll för alla!"
Vill påminna om öppetkvällen och mitt gästspel på Goopy by Spot imorrn! Jag kommer ha en bokning i början av kvällen, sen är det drop in! :) Vill även förtydliga att man köper biljett för att komma in (se flyern ovan) och helst snart (!!!) för det är begränsat antal platser! :)
Anthony's Phenomenal Marilyn Monroe Portrait
Without question, Marilyn Monroe has appeared more on Tattoosday than any other celebrity, living or dead. You'd think I'd get tired of seeing her in ink, but I never do. Probably because there are artists out there doing this:
This portrait is on the left leg of Anthony, a photographer I met on Penn Plaza a couple weeks ago. The work is based on this famous photograph:
Anthony credited the artist as Horacio Martinez, at Golden Eagle Tattoo in Santa Barbara, California. The detail in the piece is really spectacular:
When I asked why he chose to ink the legendary actress on his leg, he said, "I was in photo school at the time and we were doing a lot of Hollywood glamor stuff and it was just kind of, on a whim. Why not?"
The piece is two years old and took only three and a half hours for Horacio to complete.
To see all the Marilyn Monroe work that has appeared on Tattoosday, click here. You can also see Anthony's work as a photographer on Tumblr here, or you can visit his website here.
Thanks to Anthony for sharing this incredible tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Frank's Koi Blends Traditional and Modern
Back on the first of July, I met Frank as I was headed home through Penn Station. He shared this tattoo on his lower leg:
Frank explained that the tattoo artist was Gus, who works out of John's Tattoos in Islip, New York. He elaborated, telling me, "I originally wanted a koi fish ... not too traditional, but a little bit different. Some modern twist on it ... Gus put the traditional with the modern and there it is."

Jacqueline's Blood Rose
Two weeks ago I spotted Jacqueline and knew I had to ask her about this large tattoo in the center of her back:
Jacqueline explained that she and her older brother got this same tattoo in the same spot. "We just wanted to get a matching tattoo," she told me, "and, you know, we're both blood relatives". It's as simple as that.
She credits Seth Wood with this tattoo. Seth currently works out of Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn. Work by Seth appeared previously on Tattoosday just last month here.
Thanks to Jacqueline for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Andrea Shares a Gil Elvgren Pinup by Shane O'Neill
Earlier this month, I met Andrea while waiting for the A train.
Andrea is covered with tattoos, estimating she has over 50% of her body inked. I always feel privileged when someone so dedicated to the art of tattoo agrees to share their work. Andrea offered up this amazing pin-up on her right forearm:
This amazing tattoo is based on the work of legendary pin-up artist Gil Elvgren. The tattoo artist responsible for this incredible work is Shane O'Neill, who is based in Middletown, Delaware. The detail in this piece is incredible.

Natalie's Geisha Butterfly
Last month, I ran into Natalie on Seventh Avenue and 24th Street. She had several tattoos, but shared this geisha, with butterfly wings, floating on the top of her back:
She got this about six years ago in the city of Leeds from an artist named Diego.
When I asked why she got this particular tattoo, she replied, "I kind of just wanted something that was quite girly, yet strong at the same time."
Natalie is a professional photographer whose work can be seen on her website here.

Nick's Street Sign is Self-Explanatory
Earlier this week, up in Columbus Circle (see, I don't spend ALL my time in Penn Station!), I ran into Nick, a much-inked individual who kindly allowed me to photograph this tattoo on his left shin:
Nick explained that his friend James tattooed this Pedestrian Crossing sign on him. When I asked him why he chose to get this iconic street sign on his leg, he replied, simply, "We were just bored, and I walk everywhere".

Kristen's Anchor - Dedicated to Daddy
"This tattoo is for my father," Kristen told me, as we sat talking at the laundromat earlier this month, "because he's my anchor and he's the only man that could ever hold me down and take care of me."
She credits an artist named Twace who works in Brooklyn. [On October 4, 2011, I learned Twace is working at Citizen Ink.] Twace does all her work and is working with Kristen on her sleeve, which is based on family and inspired by Sailor Jerry flash.
When I asked her about coming up with the design, she praised Twace, her artist:

"What I love about him is that we designed the entire piece together ... I paint and do artistic things, as well, which you find [can be] very difficult with tattoo artists to put your inspiration in ... The heart rope was my idea, the color scheme, we basically worked together, bounced ideas off each other, which makes it even more like a special event."

Colleen Returns to Share Some Lovely Ink
I spotted a woman with some really great tattoos out on Penn Plaza and, after talking to her a brief moment, realized it was Colleen, who appeared on Tattoosday once before, back in 2009, as chronicled here.
Colleen shared two tattoos that grace her upper arms:
Colleen loves this tattoo and I can't say I blame her. As a Buddhist, she appreciates the symbolism of the lotus and the om on the skull. She explained:
Colleen also has this work on her right arm:
Colleen explained that the dragon was there first, and then Patrick added the fire and pansies, to make it a much more beautiful tattoo.
Thanks to Colleen for sharing her tattoos with us (again) on Tattoosday!

It's a Blog World, After All
It's not unusual to occasionally run into someone who's been featured on the blog before, especially in my neighborhood, but this morning I ran into four former Tattoosday subjects. So, out of sheer laziness and the desire to share these encounters, we'll be revisiting these old posts.
First, I ran into Melanie, whose Marilyn Monroe tattoo appeared earlier this year here.
I spotted her where I first met her, in the laundromat. We were chatting when Sandra walked by and said hi. I also met Sandra in the laundromat back in 2009. Her tattoo was featured here.
Then, I ran into James and . James was also a laundromat encounter, although his son went to school with my youngest daughter, so we had seen each other around the neighborhood a lot. Today I ran into him about a block from the laundromat. James was here on Tattoosday in our second post, back in 2007! It's worth checking out here, just to get a perspective of what the site was like "back in the day."
James was walking with his girlfriend, Jeanette, who I met on the subway in 2009, and featured here. What's remarkable is that, at the time, James and Jeanette were not a couple, and I only learned they were together almost a year later, when I ran into James and he told me that his girlfriend had been featured on the site as well.
So, there you have it, folks. Small world, Tattoosday-style!

Erin's Tribute to Thomas, Her Grandfather
Back in June, I met Erin on the subway, and she shared this section of her inner forearm:
This tattoo is a tribute to her grandfather, Thomas, who served in the U.S. Navy.
The work was done at High Street Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio.
Erin explained:
Erin also has a Friday the 13th tattoo below this, on her wrist:
This was done at Only You Tattoo in Atlanta.

A Beacon for Marci on Buddy's Arm
I met Buddy a while back while riding the subway. He had 13 or 14 tattoos and shared this piece, from his left forearm:
Buddy explained that this old gas-lit street light serves a memorial piece for Marci, his French bulldog, who passed away at the age of 14. Marci was his "light in the dark" for a dozen years,
The tattoo was inked at The End is Near in Brooklyn. He couldn't remember the artist's name, but based on his description (and my rudimentary knowledge of the artists there), I believe the tattooist was Joey Wilson, who has moved on to Asylum Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Ashley's Scarabs
I met Ashley a couple months ago, over the summer, on a Friday afternoon at the Broadway-Lafayette subway station.
She had two tattoos on her upper left arm th`t jumped out at me:
These two scarabs were tattooed by Jason June, from Three Kings Tattoo, in Brooklyn. Why scarabs? Ashley explained that they have "a family significance from the scarab bracelet that I have." She showed me the bracelet and two of the stones matched the colors in the tattoos. Pretty neat.
Check out posts tagged Three Kings here to see the work we've featured from the shop on Tattoosday.

Good Time Sam and the Mad Hatter
Last month I ran into a young lady who called herself "Good Time Sam" in Penn Station. She was very enthusiastic about sharing one of her tattoos. She has "at least twenty". She offered up this memorable character:
That is, of course, the Mad Hatter, from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Sam credited this piece to her friend Justin from Pigment Custom Tattoo and Piercing in New Orleans.
She chose this for a tattoo because she likes the character, Hatter, from the book, and she always wears a hat.
The image is based on the original John Tenniel illustration
although it seems that the tattoo artist added some additional detail, along with the phrase "live the madness"

Holy Ship! Isaac's Vessel and a Biblical Quote
There are a few tattoo artists whose work is so good that, when I'm lucky enough to stumble upon one of their clients, I consider it a great day.
Such was the case on a Monday in August on the Upper West Side, when I stopped Isaac in Trader Joe's as he walked past me. I knew, even before he told me who the artist was, that this piece was special:
Isaac explained that this ship was inked by the amazing Amanda Wachob of Dare Devil Tattoo in Manhattan. Amanda was featured in a small post in the New York Times earlier this year here. I have been fortunate enough to stumble across her work personally once before, as documented in this post from last October.
Isaac explained that this ship was inspired by The Flying Dutchman, a painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder.
One of the amazing things about Amanda Wachob's work is how her tattoos look like they are painted onto the skin. Check out the front of Isaac's ship:
"I used to write 'I'm a Son' on my arm all the time," Isaac told me, "as in a son of God," so he refers to this as his sonship.
He also shared this piece on his left biceps:
This is a Biblical reference, from 1 Corinthians 13, Verses 4-8. The passage is

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."Isaac and his wife have the same piece, with hers being on her right arm. I love the font that the artist used. He attributed it to Kelly at East Side Ink. Kelly is absent from the shop website, so must have been a former or visiting artist.
