Heart Not Time

"I do not like the concept of linear time," Fredrika said to me, "moments and feelings should be more important".

This was her thought behind this tattoo:


I met Fredrika in Penn Station last month and she was kind enough to share this tattoo on her forearm.

She has a lot of ink, but this is her favorite piece.

Fredrika hails from Hamburg, where she is lead singer for a band called Jaguar of My Dreams.

Thanks to Fredrika for sharing with us here on Tattoosday!

Rune's Viking Reflects His Cultural Pride

On a Friday last month, I ran into a couple from Denmark near Herald Square in the pedestrian median between Broadway and 6th Avenue.

The gentleman had a lot of work done on his legs, so I approached and introduced myself. Rune was kind enough to not only share a tattoo, but to pull up his shorts a bit to reveal this tattoo that ran from his mid-thigh down to his calf:


Rune explained that this Viking tattoo reflects the pride he has in the old history of the Norsemen that inhabited Scandinavia in the earliest part of the last millenium.

Rune credits Frans at Hugo Tattoo with this wonderful work.


Thanks to Rune for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Waiter, There's a Marlin in My Cactus!

Believe it or not, I still have a couple of lingering pre-September tattoo encounters to write about, one of which is this bizarre tattoo I spotted two months ago today:


This tattoo on Michael's right ankle is one of three that he has. He explained that it is an interpretation of a painting that hung in Flaco's Cuban Bakery in Gainesville, Florida where he played in the house band, Michael Claytor & His Friends.

The band played there for two years and, as a tribute to the experience, Michael had this tattooed to honor the experience.

This was inked by Mike Salay at Anthem Tattoo in Gainesville.

Thanks again to Michael for sharing this cool and unusual tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

And a little Michael Claytor bonus:

Funny Tattoos

We've all seen our fair share of ridiculously funny tattoos while browsing the internet, however the following pictures are some of our personal handpicked favorites from hundreds of super silly body artwork designs.

Funny tattoo designs are expressed in many different ways, including the old animal belly button "butt" idea, which seems to be gathering a cult like following, as we see new masterpieces surfacing on the internet almost daily. Which is certainly a sign of the impending apocalypse.

So before the world becomes consumed by stupidity, first enjoy this picture gallery of the worlds funniest and perhaps dumbest tattoos known to man.



These funny belly button tattoos possess the perfect amount of humor and disgust, all wrapped into one offensive work of body art. But seriously, the ladies must go wild over it...



Nothing better than those sarcastically thought provoking funny tattoos, which leaves you guessing the sanity of the individual sporting the masterpiece. Six pack man basically conveys an entire life story within a single stomach design. Simply amazing!



And if you personally, ever find yourself pondering the thought of a funny or blatantly moronic tattoo such as the ones featured above, please take note that the design will remain intact for up to 75 years, if not longer...

Joey's Señorita

I met Joey on the subway one afternoon last month after spotting this cool tattoo on his left forearm:


He told me that this Mexican girl, a señorita with a jug of alcohol, was a way of incorporating his wife's Hispanic heritage into a traditional pin-up tattoo. I asked Joey if this resembled her in any way and he said it didn't, however he still appreciates the symbolism, along with a little drop of humor.

The tattoo was created by Johnny Truant at Lotus Tattoo in Sayville. Click the Lotus tag below to see other work from Lotus that has appeared on the site.

Thanks to Joey for sharing this lovely tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
