Robbie's Red Balloon, with a Nod to Seattle
Here it is December and I have all these loose ends, tattoos I photographed in the summer and, for some reason or other, never wrote about.
One such example belongs to Robbie, who is originally from Seattle. I stopped to talk to him at the corner of 34th Street and 7th Avenue, and he was kind enough to share this tattoo on his upper right arm:
Robbie explained that the red balloon is a family reminder about his grandmother, and that in addition to his own tattoo, his mother, brother, cousin and aunt all have tattoos that contain a red balloon, as a nod to the family matriarch.
The skyline depicted is punctuated by the Space Needle, Seattle's most recognizable landmark. Robbie is from Washington State, and the addition of this famous structure to a metropolitan cluster of buildings, which includes a scaled-down replica of the Empire State Building to its right, is a nod to his home town, while also recognizing New York City, his current home.
Robbie credited the tattoo to Liz at Addiction NYC, although he noted she tattoos somewhere out on Long Island now.
Thanks to Robbie for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Japanese TATTOO Horimitsu style 本日臨時休業
本日臨時休業。
写真は師匠のお客さんであり友人である方から頂いた、蓮に亀の根付です。
柘植に漆で濃い目に仕上げてあるようです。造形はなかなかです。
前足と蓮がしっかり離れていて非常に良く、前足の力強さが表現できていると思いました。
そこが気に入っています。裏面は、まるでかぼちゃのような葉脈と凹凸。
茎には細かな斑点まで。本当にいいものをありがとうございました。(^-^)
いい味を出しています。

This is Japanese #1 female singer AI's new album "The Last A.I.". I did script art on this cover, not real tattoo. Buy this CD and support her! If you are foreign tourist in Japan, this CD will be the best souvenir for your friends! I guarantee!

Mrs. Dirtbird's Wedding Tattoo
Yesterday we enjoyed seeing the neck tattoo of a Missouri-based artist nicknamed "Dirtbird," as well as a piece he had inked on his friend Shawn.
In addition to meeting both Shawn and Dirtbird across the street from where I work, I also met Katie, who half-jokingly referred to herself as "Mrs. Dirtbird". She shared this tattoo with us:
Katie explained that this is a wedding tattoo. The piece depicts a heart, comprised of a male and female bird, sewn together. Since she married Dirtbird, this seems like and appropriate expression of their matrimony.
The tattoo was inked by Becky "Pink Eye" Ashcraft, who works with Dirtbird at Punkteur Tattoo in Joplin, Missouri.
Thanks to Katie for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
