Gina Shares Two Works of Art by Mark Ryden

I wanted to start off the new week after the holiday by showing off some amazing tattoos that I was fortunate enough to encounter last week.<br /><br />I met Gina in Penn Station and she offered up these beauties, which are tattooed in her ditches (inside of her elbows), in what many consider to be one of the more painful places to be inked:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsfpLEFcGMMLIkZ2M0Frxfi1McNu50idNCkuQoXm8OqTSOt6Mk5gcFCuJ_hmDHvewXbFfc0MSaJ0Cx4cPb1zLKenycJ0D4aAi5WMO9FDaA6Yq7tr6ies-5dwrgw66HzNX1CJhB-TWi/s1600/Tim+Kern+Mark+Ryden+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsfpLEFcGMMLIkZ2M0Frxfi1McNu50idNCkuQoXm8OqTSOt6Mk5gcFCuJ_hmDHvewXbFfc0MSaJ0Cx4cPb1zLKenycJ0D4aAi5WMO9FDaA6Yq7tr6ies-5dwrgw66HzNX1CJhB-TWi/s400/Tim+Kern+Mark+Ryden+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />There are two artists behind these tattoos.
