A Snake and Kali, on Sasha

Last month in Lower Manhattan, at the Whitehall Street post office, I met Sasha, who shared a couple of her tattoos with me, including this awesome snake on her arm:


Sasha credited her artist Vova Bydin (@vladimirbydin) from Electric Anvil Tattoo (@electricanviltattoo) in Brooklyn.

She told me "it was a cover up and we had to come up with a shape that would allow to cover my previous tattoo, which was an anchor with a rope around my arm ... I love the power and fierceness of the animal so I was happy with the idea."

Sasha also surprised me with this stunning tattoo on her thigh:


She explained that this is the Hindu goddess Kali, and the tattoo was also done by Vova Bydin and that he "really wanted to do something like that for his portfolio and I was open to it, so we went for it."

Thanks to Sasha for sharing her two awesome tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Crossman at the 2019 NY Empire State Tattoo Expo

A couple of weeks back, I met @Crossman5661 at the New York Empire State Tattoo Expo (@nyempirestatetattooexpo). He told me he was in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most crosses tattooed on him. He had just got his 426th cross inked and, by now, he surely must have hit 427.

Check out some of his crosses:
