Just a little celebratory…
Better Late Than Never
Back in April, I ran into John in Herald Square (34th and 6th) who had some pretty amazing work. He estimates he is about 25% covered in tattoos, which includes both arms, hands to shoulders, and both sides of his neck.I stopped him and handed him a flier, but he was in a hurry, so we went our separ…
Capricorn Tattoos
Capricorn tattoos are represented by a very unique looking symbol that is named the "Seagoat". People born between December 22 and January 19 are surely to find this tattoo design quite appealing.This would be a considerably good choice for a first tattoo, and to help you decide, we have listed some…
The Quotable Tom Ford
As a new season of Project Runway premiered last night, I thought I'd share a fashion-related tattoo. Working on "Fashion Avenue," I see a lot of ink on people in the industry. Here's one from Megan:This is a quote by the fashion designer Tom Ford:"Beauty is an illusion/It is here only for a moment/…

I spotted this lovely tattoo on the Broadway-Lafayette subway platform last month, while switching trains:This floral piece, on Katie's calf, is one of her eight tattoos.The larger flower is an iris and the smaller flowers are Narcissus papyraceus or, as they are commonly known, Paperwhites. She ad…

Perhaps some of the most common ankle tattoo for moms are hearts, butterflies and the initials of a child or the whole family even. Try to gathers some ideas from the pictures below…
Amy Winehouse Will Live On in Andrea's Ink
Back in June, I met Andrea on Penn Plaza in Manhattan and she shared this tattoo:This is, of course, Amy Winehouse, whose death was just announced yesterday. Andrea, who has this inked on her upper right arm, says she had this done "in the style of Monet". The artist was "Mad Dog" at Studio 33 Tatto…
Poppies for Poppy
These poppies are courtesy of Emma, who I met in Penn Station last week.She got poppies because, she told me, "My grandfather passed away a couple years ago and I used to call him Poppy".This is one her five tattoos, and represents about four and a half hours of work by Gus Espinoza at La Familia Ta…
It Was A Very Good Year for Some
I was passing through Penn Station earlier this month, when I spotted a young lady with this tattoo:Being a baseball fan, I guessed what the meaning of this tattoo was, but I had to ask, just to confirm. The young woman, who wished only to be identified as "Passenger Jane Doe," confirmed, this tatto…
Chris and His Empirical Pin-up
Well, little did I know, but yesterday, when I posted some of Fernando's tattoos, the R2-D2 and Megatron pieces in particular, it was coinciding with the opening of Comic-Con 2011 in San Diego.Since I am not traveling to the big convention to inkspot (maybe some day, when I have the wherewithal), le…
Fernando's Trio of Whimsical Ink
I met Fernando a while back outside of Penn Station and he had a lot of work to share. He estimated that he had around thirty tattoos on his canvas, but we picked three to spotlight here on Tattoosday.As a Star Wars fan, he couldn't resist this portrait of R2-D2:The banner "YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE" refe…
Panic in New York - A Visit from Victor
I always like visits from old friends of the site, but when I bumped into Victor in the Penn Plaza Borders back in May, I realized I hadn't seen him in a while. Turns out he had moved out of New York and has been residing in Pennsylvania.Before we go further, perhaps you should reacquaint yourselves…
