Juli's Right Calf: A Sugar Skull and More!

Back in April, I met Juli, who hosts a dozen tattoos, and counting.<br /><br />She offered up two pieces, both on her right calf.<br /><br />First was this sugar skull, inked by <a href="http://www.strangebreutattoo.com/">Chris Strangebreu</a>, who currently is working out of <a href="http://studio33tattoo.com/">Studio 33 Tattoo</a> on St. Mark's Place in Manhattan:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyDwQPO-tsGs_vd7c4bNvZqym-PAJCTP1niCgl3hXRHlmDS2QLYLxm1S9XTbpMsIV_iKXLUqu-z6f1-rGbbiPkr9VcdcjUWK6sPDN9pU8PuoTabgP7Cx6Fi90S6atpe85CzZ09z8j8/s1600/Juli+Sugar+Skull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyDwQPO-tsGs_vd7c4bNvZqym-PAJCTP1niCgl3hXRHlmDS2QLYLxm1S9XTbpMsIV_iKXLUqu-z6f1-rGbbiPkr9VcdcjUWK6sPDN9pU8PuoTabgP7Cx6Fi90S6atpe85CzZ09z8j8/s640/Juli+Sugar+Skull.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><br />Always a fan of sugar skulls here on Tattoosday, I was glad that Juli was more than happy to share this tattoo. She pointed out that the flowers are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbera">Gerbera daisies</a> ("my ultimate favorite flower ever") and that the eyes and the tips of the daisies have unusual accents. Chris used an ink known as "Japanese pink,"  which makes the specific areas of the piece glow in the dark.<br />  <br />The other tattoo Juli shared is part of what she envisions to be a larger piece that will wrap around her calf and thematically connect with the sugar skull:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxyfNW3geQHb4zTsx6FiL6nIoj1MhR9gkbj2HNzuDSfBUcrnCcXIB0KJBijTEFmgHZ9zgeZnwEG6QxYiFGv4p5HiIHi8xEXbruFBNRqlCOY1KKdr_gBqkaTYNmY1XKPE0sos_0ehW6/s1600/Juli+Tradiional.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxyfNW3geQHb4zTsx6FiL6nIoj1MhR9gkbj2HNzuDSfBUcrnCcXIB0KJBijTEFmgHZ9zgeZnwEG6QxYiFGv4p5HiIHi8xEXbruFBNRqlCOY1KKdr_gBqkaTYNmY1XKPE0sos_0ehW6/s400/Juli+Tradiional.jpg" width="257" /></a></div><br />This was done by <a href="http://holeintheskytattoos.com/">Geoff Horn</a> at the <span id="goog_1349564425"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention<span id="goog_1349564426"></span></a>. <br /><br />I'm hoping that this won't be the last we see from Juli, and I thank her for sharing these great tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
