Orphans: The Hungry Lion

So what do I do with a tattoo photo that has been abandoned and forgotten?<br /><br />Why post it here, of course.<br /><br />Back on May 10, I met a guy in Penn Station and took a picture of his tattoo, which he referred to as his "Hungry Lion":<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqeM7hqHesh5ocPhGxifU7a4shhwU-K9fSRMA6cka6R3i7iKHZpMzw1nSKjUD-gxIwy4f9OxTyI-7ddVUGyyPudGtlmhY7sbRHz_NNFYZPFNNyWrfv3nK4KT8214wmsseHipSC1HgMTCc/s1600/hungry+lion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqeM7hqHesh5ocPhGxifU7a4shhwU-K9fSRMA6cka6R3i7iKHZpMzw1nSKjUD-gxIwy4f9OxTyI-7ddVUGyyPudGtlmhY7sbRHz_NNFYZPFNNyWrfv3nK4KT8214wmsseHipSC1HgMTCc/s400/hungry+lion.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />And then, before I could talk to him further, his girlfriend emerged from the bathroom and he told me they had to catch a train.<br /><br />He had a Tattoosday flier, but never e-mailed me.<br /><br />So if anyone wants to adopt this tattoo, leave a comment. Or, if you know who the artist is, please let me know.<br /><br />Thanks to you, Dude, wherever you are, for sharing your cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><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.

Orphans: Heather's Cowgirl

Here's another orphan post. I took the picture, got the name, a shred of info, and passed a flier. And even though I saw Heather, the host of the tattoo, a week later, walking by me one day in a hurry, I never got to the bottom of this tattoo. So it goes....<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3GxlxVbaK8B2x2FHW6ZOXMj2TxkXGQs8YUune7Ixx8awSa7MjpVT4OdA7p_jWnTKN7-m63RSGXBxKV9ve7aBpbzpiZZArLxp3mQhCSq8swukhrVB-lisFPiIENeVypVh7Dbg88c3B/s1600/Orphan+Cowgirl+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3GxlxVbaK8B2x2FHW6ZOXMj2TxkXGQs8YUune7Ixx8awSa7MjpVT4OdA7p_jWnTKN7-m63RSGXBxKV9ve7aBpbzpiZZArLxp3mQhCSq8swukhrVB-lisFPiIENeVypVh7Dbg88c3B/s640/Orphan+Cowgirl+wm.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><br />Heather credited this to an artist named "Joanne" with a long French name. Any guesses? Anyone?<br /><br />Let's find this Orphan a home....

Orphans: A Native-American Sleeve on Seventh Avenue

A few weeks ago, I was walking up Seventh Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets, when I spotted this peeking out of a guy's shirt sleeve: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCza9_7wMMOj2y73ueA0XnOj-g0fNFd_kauQNC9VuhEYQ7djnDvP0Jz_YjVnIE30KCUpm7tYJtymWsZM0eQKMtGmdKicPntptZYdF481vRi0w9XmjmIUT7Ew7U9MmOfaSM3ASAtSEn/s1600/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+bottom+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCza9_7wMMOj2y73ueA0XnOj-g0fNFd_kauQNC9VuhEYQ7djnDvP0Jz_YjVnIE30KCUpm7tYJtymWsZM0eQKMtGmdKicPntptZYdF481vRi0w9XmjmIUT7Ew7U9MmOfaSM3ASAtSEn/s640/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+bottom+wm.jpg" width="304" /></a></div><br />I stopped to ask him about the tattoo. Or rather, asked him if I could take a picture, when he revealed that it was much larger than it appeared poking out of the sleeve on his left arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizfc0QAgLBp5z2UORvefMSuYI6gfF2A-rNz3xGy36xs3I1VZtH3QOPG8PhMc7eCpYTEqbK3q13UuigZ_1fyn4x4iCgK8zMVBcw2Syj3ec890T24-Ce53ol0I4rGMgZQBtkDN1PE9AH/s1600/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizfc0QAgLBp5z2UORvefMSuYI6gfF2A-rNz3xGy36xs3I1VZtH3QOPG8PhMc7eCpYTEqbK3q13UuigZ_1fyn4x4iCgK8zMVBcw2Syj3ec890T24-Ce53ol0I4rGMgZQBtkDN1PE9AH/s640/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+wm.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br />Sadly, I gave him the Tattoosday flier and asked him to e-mail me so we could discuss it further and he a) lost the flier or b) decided to forgo contacting me. So, I have no idea who he is, nor can I credit the artist, whose work is pretty darn impressive.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJeTf4XYIGWawQEIbrJMp93QMe9Mmj22iiPP696OnNXSqIY7xkOqag9Am-I9DJ4qhJVvgs560VdkDuPzpMVk6mDrprx9uMIPd53q2Kf-fr3gyUhDkU0VClsZU7EOSZv9MDp7vZGQK/s1600/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+top+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJeTf4XYIGWawQEIbrJMp93QMe9Mmj22iiPP696OnNXSqIY7xkOqag9Am-I9DJ4qhJVvgs560VdkDuPzpMVk6mDrprx9uMIPd53q2Kf-fr3gyUhDkU0VClsZU7EOSZv9MDp7vZGQK/s400/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+top+wm.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><br />When this happens, I dub it an "orphan" post, but obviously, despite the lack of details, it's still worth sharing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ywSKmNfAQvDg4QNLXhMGQdU2YJ3PcqzrmGbaTxjStOwKQPv-5O-VctiN49WZQMbF2OcDsmxF2L-Ne5oybOmYdMspExMJVMCxvMcSEGmyxyLHD_Kyi3M7p0nYjrVbWoZsjoY0ZKeh/s1600/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+bottom+detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ywSKmNfAQvDg4QNLXhMGQdU2YJ3PcqzrmGbaTxjStOwKQPv-5O-VctiN49WZQMbF2OcDsmxF2L-Ne5oybOmYdMspExMJVMCxvMcSEGmyxyLHD_Kyi3M7p0nYjrVbWoZsjoY0ZKeh/s320/Orphan+Native+Amer+1+bottom+detail+wm.jpg" /></a></div><br />Thanks to the anonymous contributor who allowed me to take photos of this great tattoo and share it with us here on Tattoosday!
