Al Shares a Rib Tattoo by Bianka Nedbál

In July 2018, I was on Governor's Island for the New York City Poetry Festival to enjoy poetry and spot tattoos. I met Al who was kind enough to let me take this photo:

Al credited this work to Bianka Nedbál (@bianca_nedbal) who worked out of Edison Bar & Ink in Budapest, Hungary before it closed in September 2020.

Al told me the design was inspired by a photo of a staircase bannister that Bianka then interpreted into this lovely tattoo on her ribs.

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

Dorie's Hungarian Runes

I met Dorie very briefly yesterday on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn yesterday. She has these cool tattoos running the length of both arms:

Dorie told me these are ancient Hungarian runes. She was born and raised in Hungary, so these have particularly special meaning to her. In fact, she explained, "this is all my personal beliefs." She would not elaborate further, as is her right. The runes cascade down her arms in a very public presentation, yet she holds them true to her own self privately, despite their visibility.

She credited an artist from Europe named James, who tattooed her here in Brooklyn, but has since moved back across the Atlantic.

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