Petra's Tattoo with Teeth

A couple weeks back, I was coming out of my office at 7 Penn Plaza when a woman named Petra walked by with this tattoo on her foot:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfbAh3IGuVb3a86-OONHI6_CixfQAMKTn_4UmtTL36BDfMwaYd_whfFUtFjVECr77VxzQ-0rznS1DeGnIBK6zb9g4h6IvOVk2TtngjN9QppEXEgSMSyJYykI3nKfg9W96O7XKNC3AH9Y/s1600/skull+foot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfbAh3IGuVb3a86-OONHI6_CixfQAMKTn_4UmtTL36BDfMwaYd_whfFUtFjVECr77VxzQ-0rznS1DeGnIBK6zb9g4h6IvOVk2TtngjN9QppEXEgSMSyJYykI3nKfg9W96O7XKNC3AH9Y/s400/skull+foot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <br /> <br /> When I stopped her and introduced myself, she was happy to share it with us here on Tattoosday.<br /> <br /> Petra explained that this is the skull of a Velociraptor. When I asked why this particular design for a tattoo, she elaborated:<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq">"Velociraptor is my spirit dinosaur. They're small and quick and very vicious and I identify with that as a person ... I really like dinosaurs. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a rock-climbing paleontologist, so I knew it was something that I'd like, you know, for the rest of the time I have my skin on."</blockquote>This is Petra's first tattoo, and she got it inked by Cheyenne Sawyer at Atlas Tattoo in Portland, Oregon.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Petra for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
