Danny's Cab for His Father

Earlier this summer, I was at a barbecue at my friend Danny's house and noticed he had a new tattoo on the back of his leg:


Danny, whose work has appeared on Tattoosday previously (here) told me the piece, which features an old New York City taxi, is an homage to his father, who was a cab driver for many years. The plate even features his dad's old medallion number.

Kudos to Mr. Kaves (@misterkaves) at Brooklyn Made Tattoo (@brooklynmadetattoo) in Bay Ridge for this cool tattoo that is a tribute also to a New York City that is no more. You can read an article I wrote about Kaves and Brooklyn Made here. Work from Mr. Kaves and other artists from Brooklyn Made has appeared over the years on Tattoosday, linked up here.

Thanks to Danny for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
