Here is another classic from the collection.
Amy's Sugar Skull from New Orleans
Amy shared this sugar skull with me a week or so ago:
Clicking this link will display the vast range of sugar skulls that have appeared here on Tattoosday over the years.
They are one of my favorite types of tattoos to post, because they tend to vary from one to another and can be uniquely personalized.
Amy got this one on All Saints' Day, in honor of her grandfather.
She was at the New Orleans Voodoo Tattoo Convention and an artist named Joey just free-handed the drawing on her arm.
Thanks to Amy for sharing her sugar skull with us here on Tattoosday!

Renee's Papal Insignia Challenges Her Beliefs
I met Renee in the Clark Street subway station in Brooklyn Heights recently, and we had a fascinating conversation.
We talked for a good bit, and actually spent more time time talking about her plans for new tattoos, as opposed to what she already had on her body. She has five tattoos, two of which she did herself. We ended up talking most about this one, on the middle finger of her right hand:
This is one of her self-inked tattoos which, she says, she did using "the prison method". This generally involves using a needle or a sharpened guitar string and dipping it in ink. Sometimes with, sometimes without, a jerry-rigged motor.
The design is based on the insignia of the Pope.
At the time that she did this, she felt a connection to the Catholic Church that was very strong. Religion was a "huge part of her childhood"
However, as anyone paying attention to the news recently is well aware, the Catholic Church has been under fire for quite some time due to its handling of internal matters regarding abuse among the clergy.
Renee finds that who she is now is "irreconcilable with the Catholic Church" and, as a result, she plans on having this finger tattoo covered up "as a statement" about her feelings and her conviction that this symbol is, in her words, "something I can't have anymore".
So today's post features a tattoo whose time is running out, which is not all that common here on the site. I have always maintained that the tattoos seen here aren't always the "best" in art, but rather, interesting encounters in New York with interesting people.
Thanks to Renee for being so forthcoming about her personal connection to tattooing, and for sharing this small, seemingly harmless tattoo, that carries with it such a weight, laden with meaning.

Blocks of Lucky Ink: Heather's Tribute to Her Son
Heather has seven tattoos.
The one I noticed that led me to approach her is not the one you're about to see. It is on her foot and, in her opinion, slightly "flawed," so she chose to share one that is nearer and dearer to her heart:
The tattoo marks the birth date 3-28-99 and spells out the name Vegas, for her son.
What's particularly cool about this tattoo, which is on Heather's outer left forearm, is not just that she spells out her son's name in kids' building blocks, but that these blocks are also dice, which acknowledges the name Vegas, and its link to the city which is built on chance and luck.
Other images that ring the name are a slot machine, a horseshoe, and a hand of cards featuring four aces. The colorful dice/blocks also feature some traditional tattoo designs, including the standard "Mom" design (on the A block).
This great tattoo was completed in two sittings and was done by Baba, who works out of Vintage Tattoo Art Parlor in Los Angeles.
Heather also has a large back piece that she will hopefully share with us in the future,
Thanks to Heather for sharing her wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Laura's Goose Girl Tattoo
I met Laura in Herald Square last week after I spotted this phenomenal tattoo on her upper left arm:
Laura explained that her mother had a lot of random books of fairy tales in their house where she grew up.
One of her favorite illustrators was Arthur Rackham and this tattoo is based on the following image from "The Goose Girl" from the Brothers Grimm in a volume illustrated by Rackham in 1909:
Laura counts this piece among her six tattoos. It was done by Rob Green at Whatever Tattoo in Manhattan.
Work from Whatever has appeared previously here.
Thanks again to Laura for sharing her beautiful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
UPDATE:
I missed a panel, here's a more complete version:
