James and the Cardinal (Tattoosday Goes to Philly)

We're still celebrating my trip earlier this month to the 20th Annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention (@villainarts) earlier this month. Check out this cool black and gray piece on James:

James told me that shortly after his father had died, a cardinal landed on the bird feeder in his back yard. He had never seen a cardinal there before and he was reminded that someone had told him that a cardinal is a sign of someone who has passed away coming to visit you.

This piece was created by "Fame One" out of Pride N Envy Tattoos in Kissimmee, Florida.

Thanks to James for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Emory Shares Two Cool Tattoos

I met Emory last month at the 35th Annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade (@mermaidparade). She shared this cool tattoo:

For those of you unfamiliar with the Kentile Floors sign, this was a highly visible landmark perched high over the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.

Louie Ozomek (@louiescustomtattooing) at Hand of Glory Tattoo (@handofglorytattoo) in Brooklyn did a nice job replicating the sign on Emory' biceps.

The sign was dismantled in 2014, but Emory wanted to "preserve its memory" on her arm as a tribute to the familiar symbol that stood in Brooklyn for sixty-five years.

Emory also shared this piece on the back of her other arm:

She got this at Magic Cobra Tattoo Society (@magiccobratattoo) in Brooklyn, as part of a fundraiser called Party to Protect, in support of Planned Parenthood (@plannedparenthood).

Thanks to Emory for sharing her cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
