Japanese Foot Tattoo - Japanese Ink
Kristen's Trilogy of Knots
The 34th Street Platform for the A Train has been very kind to us here at Tattoosday, even more so this summer than in years' past.
Take Kristen, for example. She generously offered up this small portion of her corporeal canvas:
Estimating that she is at least a quarter covered by ink, this "trilogy of knots" was the artist's response to Kristen's request to attach the cobwebs on her elbow to the end of her wrist.
The artist, identified only as "Batman" near Canal and Broadway, was also asked to incorporate a Celtic pattern, as well.
The final result was to Kristen's liking and we here at Tattoosday thank her for sharing the tattoo with all of our readers!

Happy Bloggiversary to Me!
Three years ago today, Tattoosday was born.
On July 31, 2007, I put up a post on BillyBlog, featuring a tattoo on a co-worker named Sephora.
The idea was to post a weekly tattoo on Tuesday, and use this is a vehicle to expand my horizons a bit; meet interesting people and learn about tattoos.
There was one problem. I enjoyed it too much. There weren't enough Tuesdays in the week. I was impatient and wanted to post right away, not wait until Tuesday. And so, as Kurt Vonnegut would say, it goes....
So a month later I threw the previous months post up on the stand-alone blog, Tattoosday. And BillyBlog faded.
It's still there, but Tattoosday is my passion and I couldn't have even imagined, back in 2007, how easy it would become for me to talk to strangers about their ink.
The once-a-week project produced forty-five separate interactions in July, we have a 30-day backlog of material, and this past week we registered our 650,000th hit. Not too shabby.
Go see the original post here to see how far we've come.
And a hearty thanks to all our contributors, all our fans, and all the tattooists out there creating wonderful, interesting, portable art. Without all of you, Tattoosday would have been a blip of an idea, and nothing more.

Tatuagem dos Leitores - Adriano anselmo Braz cardoso
O leitor Adriano Anselmo B. Cardoso, marido apaixonado, nos mandou fotos de duas tatuagens.
Sempre considerei essa tipo de homenagem, muito intensa. Mas é preciso estar convicto do amor, como é o caso do Adriano.
Parabéns pela sua homenagem, Adriano. que o casal seja sempre feliz envolto de amor e saúde.
Caso queira que sua tatuagem apareça aqui no blog, é fácil, envie um email com sua história e fotos de sua tatuagem, para descharth@estimulanet.com
Eu fiz as duas tatuagens para demonstrar o grande e verdadeiro amor que sinto pela minha esposa ELAINE. Deixando isso tatuado para sempre em meu corpo e principalmente dentro do meu coração, porque eu amo muito ela. Na tatuagem da perna aproveitei e também escrevi o nome da minha afilhada Karol para homenageá-la.

Quanto custa fazer uma tatuagem
Uma pergunta bastante comum feitas pelos leitores, é acerca do preço de uma tatuagem. A resposta obviamente está diretamente ligada a qualidade do serviço, e não existe uma tabela unificada de preços.
Normalmente tatuadores de fundo de quintal, cobram barato, Afinal eles não pagam impostos, não se preocupam com a biosegurança, com a assepsia do processo e não possuem funcionários a pagar. Vão ao local fazem seus serviços, que nem sempre são bons, usando tintas baratas e pronto.
O site do Good Luck Tattoo fez um orçamento aproximado do preço justo de uma tatuagem em um estúdio seguro e de boa qualidade:
Pesquisar preços é sempre uma boa, mas é preciso ter em mente que não deve ser esse o fator principal para a escolha do tatuador.

Nick Remembers Billy, I Remember Siki
My first tattoo was modified from a piece of flash at Body Art Studios by an artist who goes by the moniker "Siki". Shortly thereafter, Siki left the shop and went on his way.
My friend Pete knows who he is but, until recently, I hadn't met anyone with ink from Siki, other than myself.
Then, I met Nick on the R train one day after work and, while discussing his many tattoos (he "lost count after 45," they've all connected) , I heard him talking about Siki.
So today's tattoo is by Siki and was, like my lynx, modified from an old piece of flash. Although he adapted it a lot more fully and developed a more unique tattoo.
Siki and Nick had a mutual friend named Billy, who Nick would often go with to get tattooed. When he passed away, they added Billy's name to the bottom of the tattoo as a tribute to their departed friend.
Thanks to Nick for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Most places do not care, though, and will stick to just about any designs on the public pages, simply fill out their database. They care about the "quantity" of photos of tattoos they have instead of quality.If this sounds like a bit of time too long for you, and this because it may be. That's why I do not end here article.

Jessica's Feather for her Mother
I met Jessica on the express platform at 34th Street earlier this month.
She shared this gorgeous peacock feather tattooed on the upper right section of her back:
The piece is an homage to her mother, who loves everything peacock, and has countless items, like bracelets and other jewelery, that emulate the vivid colors of these beautiful birds.
She credits this tattoo to an artist known only as Allison.

Pitty Mostra suas tatuagens na revista Body Art
Uma das mais cultuadas revistas de lifestyle norteamericana chega ao Brasil com um ensaio ousado da roqueira Pitty. Na publicação, especializada em body art, a cantora aparece com pouca roupa, deixando suas mais de 10 tatuagens à mostra.
Fotografada por Daniel Aratangy em um hotel decadente do Centro de São Paulo, Pitty confidencia: “Tem várias personas morando dentro de mim – o anjo, o diabo, a pombagira. Cada uma tem a sua hora e, juntas, fazem eu me sentir completa”.
Em entrevista à revista CAPRICHO em 2008, a cantora diz que perdeu as contas de quantos desenhos têm espalhados pelo corpo, e que adora exibir sua coleção.
Afinal, quantas tatuagens você tem?
Muitas. Mais de dez e menos de 20. Eu já desisti de contar porque vai juntando uma na outra...
Como foi a primeira?
Eu tinha uns 12 anos. É uma rosa horrível que eu tenho na perna.
Você se arrependeu de fazer?
Não. Mesmo sendo horrível, havia um motivo: a vontade de ter uma tatuagem.
Qual é a que você mais gosta?
Geralmente é a última. Acabei de fazer uma cinta-liga na coxa direita. Falta pintar. Quero fazer uns brilhos fofos por cima.
Quem costuma tatuar você?
Esta foi a primeira que fiz com um cara diferente, em São Paulo. As outras foram com um tatuador de Salvador. Quem o indicou foi a minha professora de ioga. Acho importante escolher um bom profissional, em que você possa confiar. Tatuagem é para sempre.
Tem um motivo especial para fazê-las?
A da canela fiz por causa de uma história que escutei. É uma frase que me lembra das coisas boas e das ruins: “Tudo vai passar”. Me traz um pouco de chão.
Qual foi a que mais doeu?
Acho que foi um tribal nas costas. Doeu porque fica bem em cima da coluna.
Como você escolhe o que vai tatuar?
Eu não viajo muito nisso. Outro dia, estava vendo Miami Ink e achei engraçado porque toda tatoo tem um motivo muito grande: ”Meu pai morreu” ou “Meu cachorro ficou cego”, umas coisas assim. (risos) No meu caso, não tem isso. Acho um desenho legal, que combina comigo, e faço.

Tatuagens dos Leitores - Jorge Vinícius
O leitor Jorge Vinicius nos manda a foto de sua tatuagem de Carpa.
Ele nos conta que sofreu um acidente. Um bêbado o atropelou na calçada. Jorge precisou usar cadeiras de Roda, mas graças a Deus já está retornando a andar ao poucos. Com força de vontade e luta, em breve ele poderá estar andando normalmente. Fica a Nossa torcida.
Jorge deseja fazer nova tatuagem, mas não está com firmeza se deve fazer outra Carpa. Sua idéia é fechar a canela (panturrilha). E pede uma idéia de desenhos. Bem, somente uma análise da perna e da situação pode nos permitir uma sugestão de desenho. O melhor indicado é o tatuador. Quanto mais fera e experiente o tatuador, melhor será a avaliação do caso e a indicação do desenho.
Confira abaixo o desenho da tatuagem de Carpa do Jorge Vinicius

Michelle's Tattoo Takes Your Breath Away
Michelle has a lot of ink, twenty-one tattoos, all told, but when I stopped her in Penn Station, she chose to share this one with us:
Boldly planted on her upper right arm, Michelle explained that she paraphrased and pared down a longer quotation to read, more simply, "Live for the moments that take your breath away". I believe she was referring to the saying, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
The flowers in the photo are cherry blossoms that were done in blue, rather than the traditional pink because, as Michelle tells it, she's "not really a pink kind of girl".
This tattoo was inked by Fat Tony at Hobo's Tattoo Shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
