Niki's Memorial Foot

Alas, with winter setting in, spotting tattoos in public is seasonably challenging. Thank goodness for ink on uncovered extremities, like hands and the occasional foot!<br /><br />Case in point, earlier this month I met Niki in Penn Station after spotting this dagger on her foot: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdvv3rqvdQZzQrQd5mfoJ86acmHFogSfaAHS4_okrDpj8RcF93Wws2TzZvTjJeLAJevDZ230kQ9G2g1RJTBNljh9smXDIirwoJjrzE8NZBUxAL-jI-12PQIbBMlderRpDxv6TxXdPrbQ/s1600/Niki+Foot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdvv3rqvdQZzQrQd5mfoJ86acmHFogSfaAHS4_okrDpj8RcF93Wws2TzZvTjJeLAJevDZ230kQ9G2g1RJTBNljh9smXDIirwoJjrzE8NZBUxAL-jI-12PQIbBMlderRpDxv6TxXdPrbQ/s400/Niki+Foot.jpg" width="332" /></a></div><br />She had this, one of her three tattoos, done three or four years ago a couple of years after her father had passed away.<br /><br />It is a memorial that is based on a necklace her dad wore. When I asked her, after the fact, if she still had the necklace, she said she didn't, but said it was a lot like <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/%400_mall/olive-popeye/cabinet/chrome-hearts/img57082102.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.item.rakuten.com/olive-popeye/chp-015/&usg=__amnjjg_p8i46bz9NSVZqS-vgazI=&h=500&w=500&sz=35&hl=en&start=62&zoom=1&tbnid=Py46gaUT1np3xM:&tbnh=146&tbnw=153&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchrome%2Bhearts%2Bfuck%2Byou%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENUS266%26biw%3D1070%26bih%3D599%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C1937&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=814&vpy=257&dur=327&hovh=153&hovw=153&tx=142&ty=122&ei=f_kjTdyJA8Xflgfux62kDA&oei=a_kjTa7AH8P98AbeusXRDQ&esq=5&page=5&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:62&biw=1070&bih=599">this one</a>. She added "my dad bought it the Christmas before he passed away and it really showed off his sarcasm and style because he was very much into motorcycles and whatnot".<br /><br />Wisely, in my opinion, she kept the design, but excised the words on the necklace from the tattoo!<br /><br />Niki had this done by <a href="http://www.inklinktattoos.com/artists.asp?ArtistId=19">Marc</a> at <a href="http://www.inklinktattoos.com/">Ink Link Tattoos & Piercings</a> in West Palm Beach, Florida.<br /><br />Thanks to Niki for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
