Kristina: Aon Grá

Over the summer, we were having a yard sale, when Kristina stopped by to peruse the goods. She shared this, one of her four tattoos:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFAQesgdHIbYQ0dDmY9ClJuFAtP2IZE3_K3Q3jFb0ONIdR5ZSlHpSkkmFIaAk5hRot1rzH_jv0myDrdlXQ-HL0Ys9QxFkW8gM2d6LsT9Qxh5Q7fKSWNyCjZwASQPEcPydEC5r99Y75jt0/s1600/aon+gra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFAQesgdHIbYQ0dDmY9ClJuFAtP2IZE3_K3Q3jFb0ONIdR5ZSlHpSkkmFIaAk5hRot1rzH_jv0myDrdlXQ-HL0Ys9QxFkW8gM2d6LsT9Qxh5Q7fKSWNyCjZwASQPEcPydEC5r99Y75jt0/s640/aon+gra.jpg" width="466" /></a></div><br />Located on the inside of her right arm, the phrase<span class="st"><em></em> "aon grá" is Irish for "one love". This decorative tattoo with a powerful message was tattooed by Rob at <a href="http://www.brooklyninktattoo.com/">Brooklyn Ink</a> in Bay Ridge. Work from the shop which, due to its close proximity to "home base" for Tattoosday, has appeared often over the years on the site, and can be seen <a href="http://www.brooklyninktattoo.com/">here</a>.</span><br /><span class="st"><br /></span><br /><span class="st">Thanks to Kristina for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!</span><br /><span class="st"><br /></span><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}</style> <![endif]--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

A Quartet of Tattoos from Greg

I met Greg outside of Madison Square Garden last fall, and he happily shared several of his tattoos, inspired by magic and mythology. On his upper left arm is this wizard:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6gDojNHhggtCDmlwjUVajizWc77wDg-SnBRnVaLKZOyH27fzH_9RaG27ZiIUdOrFmOVkly0ErpgZx2ILbm2YIZKZ12pmQpclWyBSl5whSqDkqV31BEt3M3Yl39SS8Jgnuby5kQYT35I8/s1600/Greg+Wizard_picnik.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6gDojNHhggtCDmlwjUVajizWc77wDg-SnBRnVaLKZOyH27fzH_9RaG27ZiIUdOrFmOVkly0ErpgZx2ILbm2YIZKZ12pmQpclWyBSl5whSqDkqV31BEt3M3Yl39SS8Jgnuby5kQYT35I8/s640/Greg+Wizard_picnik.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><br />On his upper right arm, he shared this dragon:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs0QbcwcMDqadR5GxbmoCQUL82jucpT1m_QVQ8d0Fx_4PQ8143eOFZ8kWKtkGFr9TdqKxj5kBMUk46a1NK9wzNmRS6Bl3WGclRxTeyXHPL0UftbMFFxBUxdEAZ8FLQLYcjm1mZrfImzC4/s1600/Greg+Dragon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs0QbcwcMDqadR5GxbmoCQUL82jucpT1m_QVQ8d0Fx_4PQ8143eOFZ8kWKtkGFr9TdqKxj5kBMUk46a1NK9wzNmRS6Bl3WGclRxTeyXHPL0UftbMFFxBUxdEAZ8FLQLYcjm1mZrfImzC4/s640/Greg+Dragon.jpg" width="302" /></a></div><br />Below that, on his forearm, is this fiery skull:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipYFc-SbjaOGUjYm4h2uCbXDWaH4hCIMsjLrwgHCTqmlgWma4dvE_ubsn9vYFTlMzgNRQGmE9Sp5dvk5Zcmzf2AgTzBtDoxToKFWEWDG8zk-zqoDaedI7RfOH1A9WJispoqOBm1DYGTjM/s1600/Greg+Skull+Fire_picnik.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipYFc-SbjaOGUjYm4h2uCbXDWaH4hCIMsjLrwgHCTqmlgWma4dvE_ubsn9vYFTlMzgNRQGmE9Sp5dvk5Zcmzf2AgTzBtDoxToKFWEWDG8zk-zqoDaedI7RfOH1A9WJispoqOBm1DYGTjM/s640/Greg+Skull+Fire_picnik.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br />And, in a tribute to his Irish heritage, is this coat of arms, with the Irish colors:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVq505U19TLZPtFFwqbjs-hW1Vo6fimghyphenhyphenwmWvmYXOelwXl3syACG2jk8vVVrxubMzQX_GixOvGQmV1ybs1zBpWyblEChxLsFTq6VLHbAmVhoJ_9QQMX1YiwKWlcsNLhpPkT3tevZ3wI/s1600/Greg+Irish+Coat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVq505U19TLZPtFFwqbjs-hW1Vo6fimghyphenhyphenwmWvmYXOelwXl3syACG2jk8vVVrxubMzQX_GixOvGQmV1ybs1zBpWyblEChxLsFTq6VLHbAmVhoJ_9QQMX1YiwKWlcsNLhpPkT3tevZ3wI/s400/Greg+Irish+Coat.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />Greg credited Eddie and Ray, at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/luckyheartstattoo">Lucky Hearts Tattoo</a> in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the artists responsible for his work.<br /><br />Thanks to Greg for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
