Sabrina Shares a Star Trek Tattoo and Some Smiths Lyrics

Earlier this month, I attended New York Winter Con and I met Sabrina, who was working the Horror Show Jack booth, where one can go for customized fangs. You can see her sporting them on her instagram @alienqueenofdarkness.

She was kind enough to share a couple of her tattoos, including this Star Trek communicator badge:


It was this quote on her arm, however, that first caught my attention:


"And if I seem a little strange well that's because I am" are lyrics from the Smiths song "Unloveable."



Be sure to check out Horror Show Jack for your customized fangs here!

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

CJ's Nostalgic Ghoul

Earlier this month, I attended New York Winter Con out at Resorts World in Queens.

I met a lot of really cool people and saw some great tattoos, like this one, on CJ:


CJ explained that this is an image from the horror film Night of the Living Dead, the 1968 horror classic by George Romero.


CJ loves the movie, so the tattoo taps into his nostalgia.

The work was done by Rebecca Fiduccia (@fire_flew) from No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo (@nokaoitikitattoo) in Philadelphia.

Incidentally, CJ plays guitar for a band called Behind the Facade (@behindthefacadeband). Check them out here.

Thanks to CJ for sharing his cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Gypsy on the Downtown Train

Back in August, I met Kaitlin on a downtown R train. She had a great sleeve of cool traditional work, including this hot air balloon:


And this lovely gypsy:


Mixed in with these pieces was a meandering snake:




Kaitlin told me the snake was hand-drawn and tattooed by Andy Perez (@andyjperez) at Allied Tattoo (@allied_tattoo) in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

The other pieces were done by Kristin Close (@kristenclosetattoos) at Authentic Tattoo Company (@authentictattoocompany) in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Thanks to Kaitlin for sharing her amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Some Belgian Ink in Manhattan

Back in September, I met a couple on the steps of Federal Hall in lower Manhattan. They were visiting from Belgium and, between them, had quite a few tattoos. Kenny and Ineke were kind enough to share their work.

First up is this shot of Ineke's head:


Ineke credited the patterns on her scalp to Erik El Santo (@erik_el_santo) at Dagger Moon Tattoo (@daggermoontattoo) in Hasselt, Belgium.

Kenny shared this amazing work on his chest:


The skull and cobra were done by Don Porto (@tattoodonporto), from Inkhouse in Geel, Belgium.

Blossoms on Blossom

At the beginning of October, I met Blossom on Broadway. This lovely tattoo on her foot caught my eye:


Blossom, who was visiting New York from England, was kind enough to pull her foot out of her shoe to let me fully appreciate her cherry blossoms,

She credited the work to Jay at Portsmouth Ink in Portsmouth, UK.

Thanks to Blossom for sharing her lovely foot tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
