Two Years Ago Today......
"So, there you have it. The inaugural tattoo on Tattoosday here at
BillyBlog. It should be interesting to see what else I can come up with
from strangers, or if I have to revert to friends to help me in this
project."
That's what I wrote two years ago today on my original site BillyBlog.
Little did I know how much this once weekly feature would turn into such a significant aspect of my life. In little over a month, I had spun Tattoosday off of BillyBlog, from a recurring character to a site of its own.
And we have grown! This month we will have our biggest visitor load of our short career here, reaching just under 30,000 hits. This month also marked a quarter of a million hits since Tattoosday stood alone in September 2007.
And we have our sights set even higher.
I once again want to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the blog, from the occasional visitors, to the rabid fans, from the enthusiastic tourists and New Yorkers who have contributed their work, to the talented tattoo artists who created that work.
And most of all, I want to thank my friends and family, who have seen my passion for tattoo writing, and have supported me whole-heartedly. And to my beautiful wife Melanie, who is my biggest cheerleader, most avid supporter, and one of the most understanding women I know. Not may wives would be keen on their husbands taking pictures of tattoos of strange women
(and men) they've met on the street. But she is my number one fan. And I love her all the more for it.
A week from tomorrow my oldest daughter Jolee, who inspired this, my first tattoo, will be celebrating her bat mitzvah. The week ahead will be filled with planning and visits from family, so I am taking a week off in posting, so I can focus my energies on this landmark event.
Rest assured, I have two dozen tattoo posts in the queue and will likely be unable to restrain myself from collecting more photos and stories in the week to come.
I will resume posting on August 9th or 10th.
I thank everyone for their continued support and words of encouragement.

With a Cherry on Top and a Side of Morrissey
I met Jasen several weeks back outside of the Whole Foods in Chelsea.
Jasen's
I have seen people with biomechanical tattoos, showing steel below the skin. Or patriotic pieces reflecting red, white and blue deep below the surface.
But Jasen is different. He is a Vegan with not one, but many "sweet teeth". So, with the help of the tattoo artist, Nick Baxter, they devised the design that would reflect delicious desserts bursting out of his skin. Jasen agreed that he wanted something "colorful, fun, and kind of ridiculous".
Okay, I know, the quality of these photos is not great. Very sun-washed. So, I was fortunate enough to find the artist's photo on his website:
Nick's site is cool because he even comments on the pieces. For example:
"Why can't every tattoo be a ridiculous skin tear-out? I'm proud to add this to the collection I've done, along with the gay unicorn and the surfer kool-aid man. It's on an awesome vegan dude who wanted to pay homage to the sweeter side of our shared dietary choice. Thanks Jasen for giving me a good excuse to have some friends over for a dessert-making and reference-photographing party...this tattoo was fun before it even started."
Nick tattooed this at a shop in Branford, Connecticut called Transcend Tattoo & Art Gallery, but has relocated to Austin.
Jasen also has the autograph of the singer Morrissey tattooed on his outer right forearm:
He saw him in concert in Philadelphia two or three months back and had the opportunity to meet him.
We talked about people getting musician's autographs tattooed (see all that have appeared on Tattoosday here), and he told me that Morrissey was the only famous person he would do that for. The singer is a vegetarian and is very outspoken about vegetarianism and animal rights.
Thanks to Jasen for sharing his cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
Chip and Tom and Frank
Sometimes, the subject of a tattoo is unclear to the un-illuminated eye. Curiosity compels one to ask: what is that?
And the answer makes sense. And one marvels at the mind behind the man (or woman) who says,"Yeah, let's put that on me forever."
Such was the case during rush hour on the N train. An guy named Chip stood nearby and his right forearm intrigued me. I couldn't make out what his tattoos were. Can you?
When I asked, he explained. The top piece is a photograph from a Tom Waits album:
Despite ascertaining this is a Tom Waits photograph, I can't pinpoint where it came from. If anyone knows for certain, please let me know. The tattoo was done by C-Jay at Rising Dragon Tattoos in Manhattan. Work from Rising Dragon has appeared previously here.
Below the Waits tattoo is a Frank Zappa piece:
This is based on artwork that appeared on the back cover of Zappa's autobiography The Real Frank Zappa Book:
This piece was tattooed by an artist he only identified as Chris at Marco's Tattoo in Wakefield, Rhode Island.
Obviously, Chip is a huge fan of both Frank Zappa and Tom Waits. That's all there is to it.
Thanks to Chip for sharing his cool and unusual tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Who's Better Than Us: Chris Honors His Father
I met Chris in Brooklyn Heights one afternoon and asked him about his ink. He has seven tattoos in all, but offered up this section of his arm:
What seems at first like an odd juxtaposition of figures makes more sense when it is explained.
The piece is a memorial based on a photograph of his father,who had worked as an editor on the original film of Woodstock, as well as the book documenting the process who worked with the team that made Woodstock (Paradigm), developing and experimenting with new film technology which was eventually used in the process of making the movie.
After searching for a while, I emailed Chris and asked if he could send me the photo. He generously obliged:
Seeing the source material on which this piece is based makes it cooler. The photograph appears in the book, and was takenup at Woodstock when the documentary was in production years laterby one of the cinematographers of the Woodstock film, Chuck Levey somewhere in New Jersey.
And the back of the arm features a quote from Chris's dad, a statement he would often make, which seems genuinely appropriate from someone so deeply immersed in the culture of the 1960s:
Chris had his tattoos inked by Nick Caruso at Fly-Rite Studio in Brooklyn. Work from Fly-Rite has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Meredith Shares Two Inspirational Pieces for Tat-Twosday
Let's just say the third time's a charm.
It started with me getting off the subway in my neighborhood and noticing the woman walking several paces ahead of me. I saw that she had words inked around her wrists. As I generally shy away from tattoos that circle a limb (they don't translate well on a blog page, in my humble opinion), I made a mental note and we went our separate ways.
A few days later I was walking home, carrying dry cleaning (an activity that has delayed more than one Tattoosday post, for sure), when I ran into her again.
This time, we approached from opposite directions and I was able to introduce myself and maneuver my cleaning in order to give her Tattoosday info.
I was pleased to see, as well, two heretofore unnoticed pieces that she told me about and admired. Both were significantly original and very cool. We tentatively agreed to talk at a later date about featuring her work on the site.
A week later, our paths crossed again, and this time I was ready. So here are two of Meredith's tattoos, just in time for Tat-twosday!
We'll start with the wonderful piece dancing along the inside of her left forearm:
What we have here is the phrase "searching through the static" in an unusual font. With Photoshop, Meredith flipped the text to create a design with the phrase, base to base, almost zig-zagging across her arm.
Meredith is an artist (see her blog here) and she has lived in several places, trying to find her way through life. She did, here in New York City, and the phrase "searching through the static" resonates with her, as she has ventured through the chaos of life experiences to find her true path. She particularly loves this font because it resembles a cityscape, with some of the letters rising like skyscrapers over the street-like valleys between words.
The second tattoo she offered up is this stunning black and gray chest piece:
The center of the design is a broken snow globe, modeled after one that Meredith's grandmother gave her many years ago. Even though it is cracked, she has kept it as a treasure by which to remember her. She did change the snow globe design to contain a tree, not small people, like in the item on which this is based. The tree, she felt, was more appropriate for the tattoo.
The phrase that brackets the snow globe is "Keep going farther Beautiful Seeker." It is a mantra that she has adopted to keep her motivated and focused on a higher goal.
Both of these tattoos were inked by Alex Franklin at Brooklyn Ink. Work from Alex has appeared previously on Tattoosday here here and here. And clicking here will take you to all the posts from Brooklyn Ink that have appeared here on Tattoosday. As I've mentioned before, the proximity of the shop to my residence makes it the most frequently-featured purveyor on the site.
Thanks again to Meredith for sharing her wonderful tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
Michael's Mythical Sleeves
I generally avoid featuring full sleeves here, because of the limitations that posting them has - it is difficult to fully capture the artistry in the work. But, on occasion, the tattoos are so amazing, I can't resist.
Such was the case with Michael, who shared portions of both sleeves with me. Here's a sliver of his right arm:
To fully capture the magic of this tattoo, here's a fresher, professional collage, courtesy of the artist Stacey Sharp:
Michael was proud of the fact that this tattoo took second place in the "Best Sleeve" category in the 2007 Philadelphia Tattoo Convention.
And although the top section of his left arm is still "under construction," the bottom half is no less spectacular:
The detail and shading is just absolutely phenomenal:
Michael, a professional make-up artist, explained that he embarked on these sleeves when he was going through a rough patch in his life and that, as a water sign, the creation and depiction of an aquatic dragon, helped mark a spiritual process that gave him strength while enduring life's trials and tribulations.
He estimated that the right, award-winning sleeve, took approximately 36 hours in total work and that his right sleeve is fifty hours in, and counting.
What's interesting about this post, aside from the brilliant tattoo work, is that I have a nice online friendship with the artist, Stacey Sharp, and that she provided me with her prospective of these sleeves. Generally we only hear from the host.

Stacey comments about her work on Michael:
Some interesting info about Michael's arms...
"The WaterDragon (right arm) was drawn on his arm at a moment's notice. He was only looking for 'a little something to add to his armband'. Took about an hour to draw on with a marker and another hour to outline. All of the blue background was done in one shot, 4 hours, including elbow and ditch (Michael advises to NEVER do those two areas at the same time). The lighter water swirls were added at a later date. The entire thing took 36 hours to complete. It's also the only tattoo I've done that has a 'Title'- A warm thing in a cold place. His species is WaterDragon. His proper name is Fathom... but sometimes we fondly refer to him by his nickname: The Sea Chicken!So there you have it, an additional perspective, from the artist. It's interesting to get an additional point of view that expands on the notes I've scribbled down in the street.
The dragon on his left arm is Random. That's her name. Why? Because she is. :) Fur and feathers take much longer to detail. We didn't keep track of her time like we did with the WaterDragon. She's more of an Air/Fire combination... where the WaterDragon is more guarding, silent sentinel, she's the fun, spontaneous side. Whimsical."

Tatuagens de Thaís Cristina Silva
A leitora Thais nos envia suas 5 tatuagens e nos conta a história completa de cada uma.
"Sou de Ipatinga-MG, tenho 22 anos. Fiz minha primeira tatuagem no dia em que completei 18 anos e foi o anjinho na virilha. Escolhi ele porque o formato do cabelo lembrava o de meu pai, que eu perdi aos 12 anos em um acidente de carro.
Depois de um ano fiz as flores nas costas, a principio fiz apenas três flores e depois de seis meses fiz as outras e as borboletas. Acho as flores um símbolo de feminilidade e como sou muito grossa para as coisas e ainda faço engenharia mecânica, queria fazer algo para marcar minha personalidade. Apesar de tudo sou delicada, frágil e carente, rs.
No fim do ano passado fiz as ultimas três, todas de uma vez, o R e o E são as iniciais de Meu pai e de minha mãe.
O escorpião no pulso esquerdo é o meu signo, sou do dia 02/11 e acho o escorpião um bicho forte e independente. Características que eu adoraria ter rs.
O dragão fica no tornozelo esquerdo e o fiz por causa da mitologia onde o Dragão é considerado símbolo de prosperidade, proteção e fortaleza.
Existe uma historia de um dragão que era o responsável por trazer a noite a um determinado reino, então o rei mandou matar o dragão para que não houvesse noite e todos trabalhassem mais e assim seu reino enriqueceria. No entanto as pessoas ficaram tão desgastadas por não existir noite, não dormiam apenas trabalhavam, que o reino foi entrando em decadência. O rei também já não agüentava mais e chorava a falta do dragão. Por sorte não mataram o dragão, apenas o aprisionaram e o capataz, responsável por matá-lo, disse ao rei o que havia feito, logo o rei mandou que soltassem o Dragão e assim a prosperidade e felicidade voltou a tal reino.
Sempre amei essa historia do dragão, por isso o tatuei."
Dragão tatuado no Tornozelo de Thais. Cores fortes em verde e laranja e vermelho.
Pequeno escorpião no Pulso. Tatuagem que representa o signo de Thaís e seu desejo de ser forte e independente como uma verdadeira escorpiana
Flores e borboletas acompanham o contorno das costas da Leitora. Lindíssimo visual que se assemelha a um violão com as laterais decoradas
O anjo que lembra o Pai.
As letras R & E : Justa e bela homenagem Pai e a Mãe.

Fã faz Tatuagem de Josy Oliveira nua nas costas
Kauê Rafael Meneghelli, de Santa Catarina, é fã da ex BBB9 Josy de Oliveira e para provar isso resolveu tatuar a cantora nas costas.
O detalhe é que ele usou a foto que saiu na capa da Playboy, ou seja tatuou a Josiane de Oliveira sem blusa com os seios a mostra.
Infelizmente a foto da tatuagem divulgada na internet foi feita em close, o que nos impede de ver onde exatamente ela foi tatuada e o seu tamanho.
No blog oficial de Josy, foi feita uma postagem sobre a Homenagem do rapaz. Segundo o blog a Josy ficou super emocionada com a "A homenagem". Não é pra menos. Quem não ficaria?
Bem legal, não? O problema é que para muitas pessoas essa tatuagem pode ser ofensiva e pornográfica, não sendo muito legal ser exibida em qualquer lugar.
Claro que cada um tem direito a sua opinião, mas devemos entender que se pessoas podem se ofender e se podemos evitar que isso, então que evitemos. Mil vezes melhor que se aborrecer com algo que fizemos carinhosamente para homenagear uma pessoa querida.

St. Michael, Inspired by Survival
I met Michael in Penn Station and he shared this incredible tattoo:
That is a depiction of St. Michael, with whom our contributor shares a name.
Michael had this tattoo added to his right bicep and shoulder after surviving a terrible car accident. One of his lungs collapsed and he was touch-and-go for six days.
Afterward, he wanted to pay homage to Saint Michael and went to Lark Tattoo in Westbury, New York. Brian, the artist, spent nine hours on this amazingly detailed piece.
Work from Lark has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Carla Regina Ciconi Barbieri - Tatuagens
A leitora Carla Regina nos enviou 3 tatuagens juntamente com o que cada uma representa para ela:
"Fiz mais uma tatoo esses dias (minha terceira)...
Gostei muito do resultado e estou mandando a foto das minhas 3 =)
Ahh, voces pedem no site pra mandar o significado das tatoos, então aí vai...
1ª - A lua é como se fosse um "amuleto da sorte" pra mim... o gatinho significa a profissão e o curso que eu faço (medicina veterinária) e a estrela é só um complemento da tatoo."
"2ª - O símbolo do infinito é uma homenagem ao meu pai que faleceu já faz um tempinho."
3ª - A rosa é a flor do meu signo e uma flor que eu adoro. Os espinhos foi uma coisa que eu exigi pro tatuador fazer, pois pra mim significa os obstáculos que eu ainda vou ter pela vida.

Gostei muito da Rosa com espinhos e da forma como você parece encarar os seus problemas e obstáculos: De frente, sem tentar esconde-los. Parabéns.
Aproveito a tatuagem do oito deitado, simbolo do infinito, que Carla fez em homenagem ao seu Pai, para falar um pouco mais sobre esse belo símbolo antigo.
O nome desse famoso símbolo do infinito é Lemniscata ele é muito sabiamente represntado por um oito deitado alongado e elipitico em um traço contínuo sem começo nem fim.
A lemniscata é um símbolo matemático do infinito , mas que possui significados esotéricos para diversas linhas espirituais.
Rosa-cruzes: para eles a lemniscata significa a evolução fisica e espiritual. Um dos anéis de lemniscata é a jornada do nascimento à morte, o outro da morte ao novo nascimento. O ponto central é considerado o portal entre os dois mundos.
Essa figura aparece em antigos desenhos Celtas e no caduceu (cetro) de Hermes, o deus grego da comunicação (que leva as mensagens dos mortais para os deuses). lemniscata, principalmente em suas representações celtas, nos remete diretamente ao "Ouroborus", símbolo antiqüíssimo, resgatado pela tradição alquímica, onde se vê uma serpente que morde o próprio rabo e dovora a si mesma. O Ouroborus é também representação simbólica do Infinito e do equilíbrio dinâmico universal.
Na antroposofia (filosofia espiritual sistematizada pelo austriáco Rudolf Steiner no século 19), a lemniscata ocupa um papel central porque representa o equilíbrio dinâmico, perfeito e rítmico do corpo. A forma geométrica da lemniscata é a base de muitos processos antroposóficos: desde a dinamização de medicamentos até a criação de estruturas arquitetônicas, movimentos da euritmia, desenhos da terapia artística,etc.
No tarô, a lemniscata aparece em duas cartas: ela flutua acima das cabeças do Mago (carta 1) e no personagem que força a abertura da boca do Leão na carta 11, a Força.
Há tarôs sem o símbolo sobre os dois personagens, mas, nos chapéus que usam, as abas formam lemniscatas. No livro Meditações sobre os 22 Arcanos Maiores do Tarô (Edições Paulinas), lê-se que a lemniscata simboliza o ritmo, a respiração e a circulação (o desenho tem claramente dois ciclos). Ela é então o símbolo do ritmo eterno, ou da eternidade do ritmo, e sinaliza, no Tarô, o conhecimento desse segredo.
Traçar a lemniscata no ar com varetas de incenso é indicado para harmonizar a energia de pessoas e ambientes.

No livro Meditações sobre os 22 Arcanos Maiores do Tarô (Edições Paulinas), lê-se que a lemniscata simboliza o ritmo, a respiração e a circulação (o desenho tem claramente dois ciclos). Ela é então o símbolo do ritmo eterno, ou da eternidade do ritmo, e sinaliza, no Tarô, o conhecimento desse segredo.
Traçar a lemniscata no ar com varetas de incenso é indicado para harmonizar a energia de pessoas e ambientes.

Anthony's Pin-Up
Many people may wonder, when I pass out a card or flier, how often do people write to me and share their tattoos?
Not often.
But I'm cool with that. And it makes it extra special when someone does, especially when they're sharing a nice tattoo.
I ran into Anthony back in June coming up from the subway at 34th Street in Manhattan. We e-mailed back and forth a couple of times and then he sent me this tattoo, which I hadn't even seen when I saw him in the station:
I'll let Anthony do the rest of the talking:

I'll let Anthony do the rest of the talking:
"The tattoo I adore the most is my pin-up girl. I named her Amber, I just love that name the most. My tattoo artist is name Twace. I got my tattoo done at Gotham City Tattoos out in Brooklyn....I have about ten tattoos all in total but she is my favorite one 'cause growing up I just love pin-up girls. It took me nearly three years to find the right one for my arm. I came across to this girl doing a pose wearing nothing but a button down men's shirt with her heels and long black hair. She's the one for me, plus it is sexy when a girl is wearing a men's shirt...even in the morning. My back is getting done, a gypsy woman. So it will be awhile to get that one done."Thanks to Anthony for sharing his awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
The Butterfly Effect: Susan's Ink
I met Susan at the laundromat a couple weekends back and took pictures of the butterfly tattoos on her right arm:
She loves these colorful insects and, like many people who get butterfly tattoos, appreciate them as symbols of freedom:
Susan has her whole back tattooed (she showed me a bit of her lower back and said she'd think about sending in a photo) and got these tattoos on an impulse, in December 2004. She was living in the Bronx at the time, and when she was unable to get into Manhattan due to the last transit strike, went to a local shop and had the butterflies added to her arm.

Corretor de Tatuagens - Kat Von D.
Para lançar o seu produto corretor de tatuagens a empresa de cosméticos Sephora não poderia deixar de fora a musa tatuadora e apresentadora do Miami ink Katherine Von Drachenberg, mais conhecida como Kat Von D.
A escolha de Kat para lançar o produto foi tão acertada quanto caseira.
Kat é tão fã de maquiagem quanto o é de tatuagem e possui uma linha de cosméticos exclusivos lançados na prórpia Shephora. (veja aqui)
O Concealer tattoo - Kat von D. é um creme corretor a prova d'agua que não mancha a roupa, sendo perfeito para cobrir imperfeições nas pele, como sinais e manchas, além de tatuagens, pequenas cicarizes e etc.
Kat explica qual a utilidade do produto: “ Se você deseja retirar sua tatuagem somente por um dia, Tattoo Concealer faz acontecer”.
Acho importante ter esse tipo de creme para algumas ocasiões especiais que exigem uma certa descrição. Obviamente que o creme é indicado somente para esconder pequenas tatuagens, e não para tatuagens enormes como as da Kate. Afinal maquilagem é maquilagem, sempre dá para se notar quando se chega perto. Portanto se você tem o braço fechado ou coloca uma manga comprida ou encara de tattoo mesmo. Nas pernas até que dá para disfarçar bem, basta passar o produto e colocar uma meia calça.
O produto vem em 3 tonalidades: Claro , médio e tan. O produto pode ser comprado na internet pelo site da Sephora.
Kat posou para um ensaio fotográfico usando o produto: Veja as fotos e um vídeo.
Ao final da aplicação e após se ver sem tatuagens no espelho e nas fotos Kat disse:
Me sinto tão.... Normal.
Claro que não poderia faltar fotos das tatuagens de Kat von D.
Em uma próxima oportunidade postarei aqui alguns dos trabalhos dessa linda tatuadora.
