Jasmine With Beautiful Flowers and Designs (at the Mermaid Parade)

Back in June, at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade (@MermaidParade), I met Jasmine, who had some stunning tattoos, including these beautiful flowers on her shoulder and arm:


Jasmine also shared this tattoo from her other arm:


Jasmine explained that she had studied design, and she loved textiles. Her tattoo artist, the incomparable Tim Kern (@ymonster), drew up this great tattoo that recalls fishnet and lace.
Tim, formerly of Tribulation Tattoo in NYC, now calls No Hope No Fear Tattoo Art Studio (@nohopenofeartattoo) in Portland, Oregon, his home.

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

Tina's Lovely Lace Tattoo

Earlier this summer, I was standing on the subway platform at 34th Street, waiting for the A Train, when I noticed an incredible tattoo on the hand of the woman sitting on the bench next to me. I introduced myself to Tina, and she allowed me to take pictures of this very unusual tattoo:


That's the outside of the wrist. Here is the inside part:


Tina credited this work to Laura Babsie Gardner, formerly of Kitchens' Ink Tattoo & Art Gallery in Denver, Colorado. Laura is currently working out of Madeline Hair Design in Denver.

She explained to me that Babs had told her she "always wanted to do a lace doily tattoo and I said 'Sure, let's do it.' "

It's a really interesting application of grey and white ink.

Thanks to Tina for sharing this wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
