The Return of Victor's Ink
One of my favorite posts last year was my encounter with Victor, whose tattoos were numerous and wonderfully eclectic. The post was one of the first "tatalogs," as I call them, when a subject shares a multitude of their ink.
So, when I had just finished speaking with Austin about his sleeve, and saw a familiar face (and ink) hanging out in front of Fuse at the corner of 32nd and 7th, I ambled on over to say hi to Victor.
He had new tattoos, of course, and I soon had my camera out, adding to the tatalog.
I contacted him later to get the scoop on the work. Although he told me about it on the street, I didn't write any of it down, as I was too busy taking pictures. We've added five more pieces to the record here, and I'll let Victor narrate the rest:
Thanks once again to Victor for his generosity and sharing his ink with us here on Tattoosday!

So, there you have it, folks. Another block of Victor's tattoos! I can't wait to run into him again to see what's new!
The Divine Tattoo [just above his left wrist] was done by my cousin Ed Bonacore in the poconos. He is the only tattoo artist I really go to know. I trust him, he does good work. He works at this amazing shop in the Poconos called FUNHOUSE TATTOOING. The vibe there is cool from the colorful horror movie atmosphere, to all the artists and the friendly shop girl.
Anyway, I got the JOHN WATERS signature tattooed on [on my outer left forearm] last summer the day after I had met him with my best friend RUBY LAROCCA.
She got the same thing. She got him to sign his name to her arm as well! We make films and John Waters is one of our biggest influences so to have his mark on us for life is a reminder to keep making dangerous art.
I got the John Waters done at RED ROCKET TATTOO in NYC, I had to get it quick and fast so the autograph didn't fade. The artist's name slips my mind, but he was making a guest spot at that shop and he was originally from Texas. Red Rocket is one of the best shops in Manhattan.
So anyway, I got the autograph super big on my forearm, because in his movie Cecil B. Demented, all the characters get the favorite director tattooed on their arm. I though it would be pretty cool, to do that in real life, from the director that created that idea.
Back to Divine. Then I got the Divine tattoo because, how can't you love Divine. One of the greatest actors ever. I saw Pink Flamingos as a youngster, and I remember my parents talking about how this tranny was eating poop at the end of the film, and how they were all gagging watching the film! That got me really interested to say the least. And after Female Trouble, I know I would love anything these people collaborated on. I unfortunately cannot dig up Divine and get him to sign my arm, so [I] did a little portrait of him. He was a true artist, actor, performer, comedian, and I respect that.
Mink Stole, is also from the original DreamLand gang, and is in almost every John Waters film. She is amazing in Desperate Living, and when I met her, she was so sweet, so I figured with John Waters already inked into my arm, I would start the John Waters tribute arm. I met her at a horror convention in Baltimore, and one of the vendors was a tattoo artist, so I got the autograph, then got it tattooed and was able to show Mink by the next day. She was in shock.
The Taxi Driver tattoo [on my inner left wrist] was again done by my cousin Ed Bonacore...I have loved that movie forever, and think Travis Bickle [Robert De Niro's character] is the ultimate Anti-Hero. Its like an oil painting version of the shot at the end after he has killed all the pimps and scumbags in the brothel.
The quote on [the left side of] my ribs was also done by my cousin Eddie, but this is before he was in a shop.
It was done at this house after I had smoked a fat blunt and [was] high as a kite. It hurt a lot, my most painful tattoo. The side of the ribs hurts a lot because there no skin there, and every time the needle hits your skin, your ribs vibrate. It took 3 different sessions to do that tattoo. The quote is from a band called HUNCHBACK, that just split up. And it's from a song called "RED IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVES HAIR." When I saw the song live for the first time, I was convinced this would be my new favorite band. And I can honestly say, this is the best song ever performed live. It blew me away. And the lettering that was used is the font from THE WARRIORS. Another one of my favorite films!
Thanks once again to Victor for his generosity and sharing his ink with us here on Tattoosday!

A.J.'s Floral Ink
I ran into A.J. earlier this month, walking aling Seventh Avenue near 34th Street.
She has seven tattoos, and shared this lovely black and gray floral piece on her upper right arm:
She had been debating on whether to add color or not, but is pretty happy with the way this tattoo looks.
This tattoo was created by Junior at Adrenaline Rush Tattoo in Newark, New Jersey.

Dragon Tattoo
Dragons are the mysterious creatures, usually represented as monstrous, winged and scaly serpents, with enormous claws and a crested head. The word ‘dragon’ is derived from the Latin and French words for the Greek ‘drakwu’. The term is connected with ‘derkomai’ for ‘see’ and interpreted as ‘sharp sighted’. The depictions of dragons have been incredibly complex and diverse, over the years. No

Oscar's Quartet of Tattoos
Born in Costa Rica, a one-time resident of Canada, and now a denizen of the Bronx, Oscar has traveled all over the world.
He expressed his passion for mountain biking to me as we talked in the Amtrak section of Penn Station.
This made sense to me as I had noticed his bike-themed tattoo on his left calf:
The wheel is specific to a mountain bike he owns, and it is connected around the back of his leg by a bicycle chain:
The detail is quite good, almost three-dimensional, and the tribal flourishes up and down the leg add volume to the piece.
This was his first tattoo, inked on his birthday, after many years of thinking about tattoos. He waited until he was ready, so that he could get something with deep meaning for him.
Since then, he has added three other tattoos, all created by Richard at Jent's Tattooing in Yonkers.
He graciously shared those as well. First is a tribal raven:
Oscar spoke of the raven's relationship with God. In the folklore, Raven helps the gods to raise the moon and the stars. He also is known as the prankster, who is always trying to catch the Sun.
In addition, there is a tattoo of Shiva, who Oscar acknowledges as a deity who "destroys ignorance and builds knowledge":
Finally, Oscar wears a Third Eye on his right bicep, which carries its traditional meaning:

tattoo artist
Tattoos are all the rage when you're in your twenties and I don't understand why. I went through that phase myself thinking it was cool and all, but thank god I didn't get one. They don't look so pretty after a while. For instance, look at this poor sap I found on the Web. How in the WORLD is that considered cool. If this was my dad or grandpa, I'd be scared. And, how gross would it be to be the tattoo artist tattooing around someone's private parts?
Now I wonder, is his wiener inked? And how funny would it be if the tattoo was in the form of a hot dog and hot dog bun. Or a trouser snake. Or a heat seeking missile. Or a one-eyed wonder worm.
Gregory's Defenders of the Faith Tattoo
Gregory walked by me on Seventh Avenue in front of Madison Square Garden and I saw a familiar icon from my youth:
As a huge fan of Judas Priest in the 1980's, I recognized the basis for this tattoo immediately: the cover art for the 1984 album Defenders of the Faith.
Gregory has four tattoos and is a fan of Japanese-style art. This album and its predecessor, Screaming for Vengeance, boasted cover art that had a distinct Japanese influence.
He worked with the artist, C-Jay at Rising Dragon in Manhattan, to modify the design slightly, removing the tank treads and other militaristic elements from the original design.

Tattoo Styles
Different Styles of Tattoos from Celtic to Tribal
Tattooing is universal and has been practiced by humans in some form or another for thousands of years. As a result distinct tattoo styles have emerged from different cultures and sub-cultures throughout the world.
Just like clothing and fashion, tattoo styles have come and gone throughout the years such as women getting dolphins or fairies a style which looks very passe now.
Daggers and hearts were the order of the day a few decades back amongst bikers and people on the fringes of mainstream culture. Dragon tattoos are also a style of tattoo that has come and gone.
Below you will see different styles of tattoos from the intricacy of Celtic tattoos, the beauty of art Japanese tattoos and simplicity of tribal tattoos.

Merci Celebrates Female Empowerment with a Classic Image
I spotted Merci in Penn Station with this familiar icon on her calf:
The tattoo is based on this famous poster from World War II:
This image is identified with the character of Rosie the Riveter, and was introduced by Westinghouse to rally the home fires in support of the troops abroad. The image has transformed, through time, to take on a greater meaning, that of female empowerment.
This tattoo, one of three that Merci has, was created by Chris Dilworth at Tough Luck Tattoo in Lewes, Delaware.

Tattoos I Know: Avital's Ink
It seems odd and yet is not beyond comprehension that, at the last two bat mitzvahs I have attended, I came home with tattoo pictures.
The first time (documented here) was a pleasant surprise. On Saturday, August 8, however, I had no expectations, as it was my daughter's bat mitzvah.
However, much to my amazement, I noticed that one of my sister's closest friends, Avital, has two small tattoos. I was more surprised, considering that Avital is a cantor, and that whereas tattooed Jews are not as rare as they used to be, an inked cantor is still an unusual sight.
Granted, her two tattoos don't jump out at you. The om on her right ankle:
and the slender "b+" on her right wrist
are discreet enough to be overlooked by a discriminating eye, and yet these two small tattoos are large with meaning.
Avital gave me a synopsis the day I took the photos, summing up that the "b+" was a personal message to herself to always "be positive," and that it is her blood type, but she has since offered up a lengthier, more thorough explanation, which I'll share here:
And Avital added:
As for the om, she elaborates:
"One of the major changes I made in my life after E died was a regular Yoga practice. An unfortunate encounter with a sharp blade left a 1" scar on my inner right ankle. After about 3 months of drawing an OM over the scar with a sharpie (so tedious!) I decided to make it permanent. The OM, like my b+, centers me, calms me, and reminds me of the simpler, more important things in life."
Much thanks to Avital for sharing her tattoos and the powerful stories behind them here with us on Tattoosday.

" [The b+], though it is very small (1/2") represents many important parts of my life: past, present and future. When my college friend, Erica died in December from Leukemia, I was devastated. Throughout her illness, she managed to have good spirits and enjoy time with her friends and family. Her battle against cancer put life in perspective for me. I have struggled with depression most of my adult life, and when she died, I made the conscious decision to turn my life around, completely. The morning after her death, my father was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Double whammy. My sister and I had both been contemplating a tattoo for several years, but Jewish guilt always managed to turn me away. After several hours in the ER with our father, we ventured down to Kingdom [Tattoos] and got our matching b+ tattoos. It's incredible how much strength I find from this little symbol on my wrist.
And Avital added:
"And the B in the b+ tattoo is a flat. in music. since I'm a musician. I can't believe I forgot that part! flats are most commonly associated with minor, "sad" keys. so, there is a bit of sadness in the tattoo. too."
As for the om, she elaborates:
"One of the major changes I made in my life after E died was a regular Yoga practice. An unfortunate encounter with a sharp blade left a 1" scar on my inner right ankle. After about 3 months of drawing an OM over the scar with a sharpie (so tedious!) I decided to make it permanent. The OM, like my b+, centers me, calms me, and reminds me of the simpler, more important things in life."

Ben Commemorates the Cat and the Tree
Ben recalls wandering off one day when he was four years old. He was up in Wells, Maine with his family and no one knew where he'd gone.
Fortunately for Ben, someone did know: the family cat. A la Lassie, the feline led his parents straight to Ben, who was sitting under a tree, munching on blueberries.
To this day, Ben regards this as a crucial moment in his life when he was saved by the cat.
He collaborated with Brendan Rowe at Pins and Needles Tattoo in Portland, Maine to come up with a commemorative tattoo to honor this animal:
Brendan is now working out of Unbreakable Tattoo is Studio City, California.
The tree nearby on his left forearm, was inked, in part, to complement the cat:
It is, however, also a nod to Gustav Klimt's "Tree of Life".
Not an imitation, but a variation.
