BRASS MONKEY
Here is a recent piece on a client who wanted to get a piece that captures a moment from his childhood. He told a story of his zoo experience at the age of 5..
Kristine's Globe and a Memorial for Mom
Kristine has seven tattoos, two of which she shared with us late last month in Penn Station.
The first one I noticed when she walked by was this piece from the back of her calf:
This is an homage to her travels, having recently returned from ten months in New Zealand. The Latin phrase below the globe, "On Omnia Paratus" translates to "ready for all things".
She also shared this lovely floral tattoo on her upper right arm:
Kristine explained that these tulips are a memorial to her mother, who passed away from lung cancer.
These tattoos were done by Chris Pesonen at Fat Kat Tattoos in Keyport, New Jersey. Work from Fat Kat has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Kristine for sharing her tattoos with us hereon Tattoosday!

Claire's Hemaris Thysbe Flutters on Her Forearm
Butterfly tattoos can be a dime a dozen (no offense, butterfly fans), but moths, on the other hand often get a bum rap, taking a back seat to their more flamboyant insect cousins. To the chagrin of some inked lepidopterists, you don't see as many moth tattoos. This, however, is a lovely exception, perched on Claire's forearm:
This is Hemaris Thysbe, more commonly known as the Clear Wing Hummingbird Moth, a beautiful insect that gets its name from its large size and rapid wing speed.
Claire, who I met in Borders at 2 Penn Plaza, is originally from Vermont and this moth reminds her of back home. There are certainly no Hummingbird Moths fluttering about New York City!
She found a picture she liked and took it in to Yoni Ziebler at Brooklyn Adorned where he recreated this lovely specimen.
Work from Adorned appears here often and can be seen together under this tag.
Thanks again to Claire for sharing her Hummingbird Moth with us here on Tattoosday!

Carrie's Astonishing Peacock
Last year at this time, it seemed as if everywhere I turned I was photographing gypsy tattoos. Let's call this season, the Summer of the Peacock.
At the end of July, I ran into Carrie outside of Madison Square Garden and she shared this breathtaking tattoo:
This piece isn't yet complete, but represents close to sixteen hours of meticulous work by Norm Wright Jr. at Art with a Pulse Tattoo Studio in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The detail is incredible and Carrie explained that he free-handed the design with Sharpies, and then followed up with the tattoo needle.
Aside from the beauty of the peacock, Carrie explained that she was inspired by a trip to India, and that this beautiful creature is the country's national bird, which imbues the tattoo with even more personal meaning for her.
Thanks to Carrie for sharing her colorful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

HOLE IN THE HEAD
Trip out on this recent piece inspired by a classic record by Cypress Hill..
Brian's Mat-tree-monial Tattoo
Late last month, I met Brian on the 34th Street A platform and he shared this amazing tattoo:
The piece was relatively fresh, having been inked only a couple weeks before.
He explained that this tree represents the Tree of Life. He alluded to the roots that spread out, firmly symbolizing family.
Brian also explained that it was an investigation piece: he added a key, hanging from a branch. This symbolizes his desire to unlock the meaning of life.
What's doubly special about this tattoo is that it is also a marriage tattoo. Brian's wife has a similar tree on her right arm (Brian's is on the left), only with cherry blossoms instead of a key, and a baby in the design as well.
The couple are linked not only by their vows, but by their similar ma-tree-monial tattoos. Sorry, I couldn't help it.
The tattoo is by Kaz at Brooklyn Adorned. Work from Kaz has appeared previously on Tattoosday here. And this tag, links all previous Adorned work on the blog.
