Sandy and Her Sea Leg

Back in May, I spotted Sandy on Broad Street in lower Manhattan. The bright burst of color on her left leg is spectacular and I was thrilled when she agreed to let me take a picture:


From the starfish on her foot, to the sea turtle and jellyfish on her thigh, the color and detail are truly remarkable:


Sandy told me, "I'm actually doing a foot-to-shoulder piece. I'm gonna do water, then land and sky and it's basically things that I'd done with my husband who passed away, so it's kinda like a tribute."

This work was done by Frankie Oneshot (@frankieoneshot) at Bullseye Tattoos (@bullseyetattooshop)  in Staten Island.

We're hoping that we'll be privy to more of Sandy's work in the future.

Thanks to Sandy for sharing her awesome sea leg with us here on Tattoosday!

Melissa Wows Us with a Sarah Miller Tattoo

Last month at the NYC Urban Tattoo Convention, I met Melissa, who was kind enough to let me take a photo of this astoundingly beautiful thigh piece:


This veritable stunner of a tattoo was inked by Sarah Miller, who is co-owner of Wyld Chyld Tattoo in Pittsburgh. Many may remember from her appearance on season two of Ink Master. Sarah was runner-up that year and produced stellar work throughout the series.

Melissa told me that Sarah finished this amazing tattoo in six sittings and Miller took her original artwork that she adapted to fit onto Melissa's leg.

This vibrant and colorful tattoo was one of the high points of the convention for me.

Thanks to Melissa for sharing this gorgeous tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
