I still have my "lucky cat" today and always am happy to see it in people's tattoos, like in <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/07/jenns-robotic-tattoos-with-hand-mixer.html">this variation</a> we saw earlier this month.<br /><br />The photo above is a lucky cat belonging to Lindsey, who I met passing through Penn Station last month. She loves Japanese art and has a koi fish, a well, on her leg. The cherry blossoms on her arm are a nice touch, as well.<br /><br />This tattoo was done by Erik Desmond at <a href="http://www.horifudo.com/bio.shtml">Horifudo Tattoo</a> in Smithtown, New York.<br /><br />Thanks to Lindsey for sharing her luck with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><b id="internal-source-marker_0.825981087051332" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2012 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are reading this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
