Ashley's Scarabs

I met Ashley a couple months ago, over the summer, on a Friday afternoon at the Broadway-Lafayette subway station.<br /> <br /> She had two tattoos on her upper left arm that jumped out at me:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbstKdep1KMmR-a26sQLB8LY6fd2DvGeJV3cIYlNNNuspNDla4RsLXmc5HT2Y92wMeB0utyS0iC0lC07mvJQiKB-wE9i-hzqY9zkBDnb1CEmUKfcmTYBCxtrpy3CjNWIHwDelbhaOYHJY/s1600/Blue+Scarab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbstKdep1KMmR-a26sQLB8LY6fd2DvGeJV3cIYlNNNuspNDla4RsLXmc5HT2Y92wMeB0utyS0iC0lC07mvJQiKB-wE9i-hzqY9zkBDnb1CEmUKfcmTYBCxtrpy3CjNWIHwDelbhaOYHJY/s400/Blue+Scarab.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9SSvrWNZkTxHhiDX7kLyNC_nolE06-jG2OEZ2gnFNbBzjLOi2A1GFSJGfX-WrPc9lCys-i_2ycyHzLnDduTQ_WGkIrmfKm4chH5Sl106UHdJVMufdL5QJuhBUhZ9VUq0cAHQan7ANXs/s1600/Red+Scarab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9SSvrWNZkTxHhiDX7kLyNC_nolE06-jG2OEZ2gnFNbBzjLOi2A1GFSJGfX-WrPc9lCys-i_2ycyHzLnDduTQ_WGkIrmfKm4chH5Sl106UHdJVMufdL5QJuhBUhZ9VUq0cAHQan7ANXs/s400/Red+Scarab.jpg" width="246" /></a></div><br /> These two scarabs were tattooed by Jason June, from Three Kings Tattoo, in Brooklyn.  Why scarabs? Ashley explained that they have "a family significance from the scarab bracelet that I have." She showed me the bracelet and two of the stones matched the colors in the tattoos. Pretty neat.<br /> <br /> Check out posts tagged Three Kings here to see the work we've featured from the shop on Tattoosday.
