Princess Leia Portrait by Mike Carro (Tattoosday Goes to Philly)

Last month, at the 20th Annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention (@villainarts), I met Frank, who shared this amazingly lifelike tattoo of Carrie Fisher's character Princess Leia:

This image is based on Fisher's portrayal of Leia in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.

Frank credited the work to Mike Carro (@mcarrotattoo) from Undead Ink (@undeadink) in Oceanside, New York.

Check back tomorrow in a few weeks for another Princess Leia tattoo that I spotted at the show!

Thanks to Frank for sharing this amazing work with us here on Tattoosday!

Jeffrey's Jimi Hendrix Portait (at the NYC Tattoo Convention)

I met Jeffrey at this year's New York City Tattoo Convention last weekend, and he shared the above tattoo, one of a dozen famous portraits he has adorning his body.

That is, of course, Jimi Hendrix.

Jeffrey told me, "I just love black and gray portraits," and that the shading was so intense on this piece, that at one point he passed out in the middle of getting it, which took about nine hours to complete.

He credited the artist Kris Busching at Undead Ink in Oceanside, New York.

Thanks to Jeffrey for sharing this amazing portrait with us here on Tattoosday!
