LADIES NIGHT..


WOMENS BACK PIECES ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR AND THATS A BEAUTIFUL THING.. FEMALES SKIN IS ALWAYS EASIER TO WORK ON. A WOMAN DEDICATING HER BACK IS ALWAYS THE BEST CANVAS AN ARTIST COULD WANT. MY BABE JULIE RECENTLY BUSTED OUT HER BACK AT THE SAME TIME AS HER FRIEND MICHELLE SEEN HERE. SHE OWNS A FEMALE BOUTIQUE "NATIVE" LOCATED ON FRANKLIN IN HOLLYWOOD.

THE "REMIX"


YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO DO A COVER UP OR LASER REMOVAL, SOMETIMES ITS BEST TO LEAVE WHAT YOU HAVE AND BUILD AROUND IT. UNLESS ITS AND EX GIRLFRIENDS NAME THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REMOVE. MOST TATTOOS CAN BE REMIXED, TOUCHED UP OR FRAMED.

Tom's Two-for-Tattoosday Ink Honors His Heritage and His Love of the Yankees

After a bit of a drought of inkspotting, I finally caught some new tattoos in Penn Station on Tuesday, along the L.I.R.R. corridor.

Tom has "19 or 20" tattoos and is working to some day achieving a full sleeve on his left arm. He offered me these two tattoos (for Tat-Tuesday), whose close proximity on his forearm made them the natural choice.


On top is the trinacria of the flag of Sicily. This symbol contains the the (winged) head of Medusa and three bent legs, which supposed to represent good luck and prosperity.


It is a nod to his Italian heritage.

Below that is a New York Yankees tattoo which is very similar to my wife's cousin's stars and stripes-filled NY logo. Tom gave it a simple explanation: "I'm a huge Yankees fan".

Say what you want about other cities, but I would venture to guess that the greater New York City area has a higher per capita count of hometown tattoos than any other metropolitan area.

Tom's ink was done by Rob, owner of Skin Deep Tattoo in Levittown, New York. Work from the shop has appeared previously here.

Thanks to Tom for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday!
