Terri Shares Two Great Tattoos (at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade)

This past weekend, I attended another wonderful Coney Island Mermaid Parade in south Brooklyn. I met a lot of great people, including Terri (@ivyleagueink), who shared some amazing work, including this amazing owl covering her stomach:


She credited Peeko (@peekotattoos) from Pyramid Ink Tattoo (@pyramidink) in Brooklyn with this piece.

The quote, "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how," is by Friedrich Nietzsche, and pre-dates the owl. It was done at True Blue Tattoo in Maspeth, New York.

She also has this amazing portrait of the Bride of Frankenstein on her thigh:


Please pardon the shadow in the upper right part of the tattoo. That phenomenal piece was done by Shane O'Neill (@shaneoneilltattooist), who won Ink Master, Season One, and tattoos out of  Infamous Tattoo in Delaware.

Thanks to Terri for sharing her amazing work with us here on Tattoosday! Great meeting you, Terri!

POW! Jes Has a Super Heroic Tattoo

In the last week, we lost the great Adam West, who originated the role of Batman on television.

Anyone who has seen an episode of the series that ran during the 1960's would be reminded of the show if they saw this tattoo:


I saw this yesterday on Broad Street in lower Manhattan, on the arm of Jes, and she told me she got it because it was an expression she and a friend of hers would say to one another all the time. It was done at True Blue Tattoo (@TrueBlueTattooNYC) in Queens, several years ago.

Jes shared a bunch of other tattoos, as well, but I'm saving them for another post.

I just didn't want to wait to post this one, which reminded me of the passing of the Adam West, who many of us regard as the "original" Batman.

Thanks to Jes for sharing this with us here on Tattoosday!
