Juliana's Hibiscus

I met Juliana last month and, although there's a section of her tattoo that is "in progress," she agreed to share it here:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAH64Nhc4maIViCNjFuRWmhTJQIuJoQisgI1QikzMjppmNO7hc5fDUJsgNYVBKIpsdy6HIHQixedjOp41A53SBD6nqezSM5eJZy2X2_kkRdx62mtQQKBUcQ0TLViS2fWa-BGF_0k5e7tg/s1600/Hibiscus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAH64Nhc4maIViCNjFuRWmhTJQIuJoQisgI1QikzMjppmNO7hc5fDUJsgNYVBKIpsdy6HIHQixedjOp41A53SBD6nqezSM5eJZy2X2_kkRdx62mtQQKBUcQ0TLViS2fWa-BGF_0k5e7tg/s640/Hibiscus.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Juliana explained:</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"I took the picture of the flower myself. The hibiscus means eternal beauty, which I though was really cool. And the symbols [kanji] are respect, love, strength and energy ... so I call it my <i>Keep Truckin'</i> tattoo."</div></blockquote>The artist  is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tattoosbyed">Ed Knowles</a>, who is currently at <a href="http://www.12tattoos.com/index2.html">12 Tattoos</a> in Groton, Connecticut. Work by Ed has appeared previously <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/06/jolies-cupcake.html">here</a> on Tattoosday.<br /><br />The <i>kanji  </i>are, on the left side strength above energy and on the right side, respect above love:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqoC4Z568alC1-L56y-PWbL94g-fN_UmZRstjJRp9e0OIXQHF6mnHyTFLiMhhL4D-z5ELYTw1P1YkJ2AoVFJRky9EOtLcGQNSBRH-27y5cKG4Z3uf5ZvJbBTPc7wYoXN0UM9SyYwFcNds/s1600/Hibiscus+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqoC4Z568alC1-L56y-PWbL94g-fN_UmZRstjJRp9e0OIXQHF6mnHyTFLiMhhL4D-z5ELYTw1P1YkJ2AoVFJRky9EOtLcGQNSBRH-27y5cKG4Z3uf5ZvJbBTPc7wYoXN0UM9SyYwFcNds/s400/Hibiscus+detail.jpg" width="361" /></a></div><br />Thanks to Juliana for sharing her tattoo-in-progress with us here on Tattoosday!

Jolie's Cupcake

When I met Jolie, we weren't sure which of her thirteen tattoos would be best for the blog, but we decided to go with this one, on the inner part of her biceps:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv-w-rbCkQ2U718UyPBtxw-Vfos_QIyS0FfSw9hHuft1BIPGqQFwn5YSwZrIOFilDut5cfMil0VG6NAhAMF8MJz9f-RcfQdlo_1e5EFSxQjaGVLah8gieuphFE-YSUzu5-XGfTqnK/s1600/Jolie+cupcake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv-w-rbCkQ2U718UyPBtxw-Vfos_QIyS0FfSw9hHuft1BIPGqQFwn5YSwZrIOFilDut5cfMil0VG6NAhAMF8MJz9f-RcfQdlo_1e5EFSxQjaGVLah8gieuphFE-YSUzu5-XGfTqnK/s400/Jolie+cupcake.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>This colorful cupcake bears the name of Jolie's sister Jackie. The two of them hope to start a cupcake business some day. Jackie has the same tattoo, only with Jolie's name instead.<br /><br />The artist is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tattoosbyed">Ed Knowles</a> at <a href="http://www.12tattoos.com/artists.html">12 Tattoos</a> in Groton, Connecticut.<br /><br />Thanks to Jolie for sharing this colorful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
