Mandy's Leopard Stars

I spotted Mandy on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan last month and I had to stop her to ask about this, one of her three tattoos:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauDddK9jjpOljB0toF1ohozEk098sKpWC1zqBkpU4PmlRJX3Y2QoS7MJGc_T18dsrHm3BVFUB4MjbBRQiK75XAnEe-JZMO77a7MY-jZSBRJDl_jVYS8MvDcd0Ge5ElGHeSsB4_KlJ/s1600/Mandy+Leopard+Stars+detail.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468465133350278834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauDddK9jjpOljB0toF1ohozEk098sKpWC1zqBkpU4PmlRJX3Y2QoS7MJGc_T18dsrHm3BVFUB4MjbBRQiK75XAnEe-JZMO77a7MY-jZSBRJDl_jVYS8MvDcd0Ge5ElGHeSsB4_KlJ/s400/Mandy+Leopard+Stars+detail.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />She came up with the design and made sure to include the leopard print that she likes so much.<br /><br />She credits the artist <a href="http://inkxpression.com/preview_003.htm">Eric Newby</a> at <a href="http://inkxpression.com/">Ink Xpressions</a> on Ringgold Road in East Ridge (Chattanooga), Tennessee.<br /><br />You may notice another tattoo peeking into the picture, so let me show you the larger perspective and a glimpse of the piece to the left of the stars:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSjt7FE853OWyouRsEo-2HDhuoJbrX6k7siHm3Wg5eOPSgCWFPJGt5mjEyJ3MPxwOY8r3d1IIN_JAgTJDstLKv117QSmP6Hay2kWnMVVujqboC2v-Ms6m39jGhmX4et6nUjGrKDMI/s1600/Mandy+Leopard+Stars.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468465052413726930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSjt7FE853OWyouRsEo-2HDhuoJbrX6k7siHm3Wg5eOPSgCWFPJGt5mjEyJ3MPxwOY8r3d1IIN_JAgTJDstLKv117QSmP6Hay2kWnMVVujqboC2v-Ms6m39jGhmX4et6nUjGrKDMI/s400/Mandy+Leopard+Stars.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" /></a><br />Mandy informed me later, via e-mail, that the floral piece<br /><blockquote>"was actually a stencil I found, and I really liked the design a lot. I had two black and white tattoos, so I wanted bright colors and we decided no outlines would look cool. It was a long process to get the colors I wanted to absorb, but it was well worth it in the end. The artist was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shanehartlinetattoos">Shane Hartline</a> at <a href="http://www.evermoregalleries.com/">Evermore Galleries</a> in Chattanooga".</blockquote>Thanks to Mandy for sharing these tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
