A small post about a sugar skull for a Friday.<br /><br />I met Sebastian on 33rd Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues last week.<br /><br />Among his several tattoos is this sugar skull that was inked by New York City artist <a href="http://www.abstractblacknyc.com/-.php">Byron Velasquez</a>: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLJusatomzn3uOCYkjrKUjhkdlGQeUrWhy5cvLZKuPoWpyoXroAw3remd6L2_p03mqIvoZfaj5-DUDYB_xgJc2rJ00J4L0lNzqRsOT-1IH-N1tBJDvz1N_YdYUg0-jOY0EiJp5Gfi/s1600/Sugar+Skull+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLJusatomzn3uOCYkjrKUjhkdlGQeUrWhy5cvLZKuPoWpyoXroAw3remd6L2_p03mqIvoZfaj5-DUDYB_xgJc2rJ00J4L0lNzqRsOT-1IH-N1tBJDvz1N_YdYUg0-jOY0EiJp5Gfi/s640/Sugar+Skull+1.jpg" width="220" /></a></div><br /><br />Byron now tattoos out of <a href="http://www.abstractblacknyc.com/ABNYC_NEWS.html">Abstract Black NYC</a>.
