Poseidon on Mark (Tattoosday Goes to Philly)

Earlier this month, at the 20th Annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention (@villainarts), I met Mark, who had traveled all the way from Manchester, in the United Kingdom, to obtain this awesome tattoo:

This portrait of Poseidon was inked by Henrique Carmo (@hcarmo_tattoo) out of Revival Tattoo Studio (@revivaltattoostudio) in Blackpool, England.

See an Instagram video of the tattoo in greater detail here.

Thanks to Mark for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

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!

Toward the end of my day at the 20th Annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention (@villainarts) earlier this month, I met Kelsy, who shared this cool tattoo:

It's pretty self-explanatory, stating "Women Inherit the Earth" with a dinosaur skull crisply illustrating the point.
