Maddie's Family Heirlooms (Tattoosday Walks Into a Bar)

Back in December 2017, I popped into Krupa Grocery (@krupagrocery) in Brooklyn to grab a beer.

Maddie was behind the bar, and she shared a couple of her tattoos.

Her first tattoo was this knife, which she got when she was 18, at Hand of Glory Tattoo (@handofglorytattoo) in Park Slope, Brooklyn.


Maddie told me this is a depiction of a sterling silver family heirloom - a bread knife that was in the possession of her grandfather's second wife. The family no longer uses it as a bread knife and regards it as a dagger.

She also shared this wedding portrait of her parents, tattooed by Ashley Strout (aka Ol' Ash), formerly of Magic Cobra Tattoo Society (@magiccobratattoo):


While talking to Maddie, I enjoyed a Light Year double IPA from Grimm Artisanal Ales (@grimmales):




It was delicious.

Thanks to Maddie for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
