Inked Up Angels: Part 1, Pink's X-Men

Back in April, I ran into two young ladies in Penn Station. Both were significantly tattooed and I was delighted when they agreed to talk to me and allowed me to snap a few photos.<br /><br />In order to give each woman her proper due, I'll start with "Pink", who showed me her tattoo first.<br /><br />Actually, she was already showing her tattoos. With a full leg sleeve and an estimated eleven pieces in all (approximately), she already had a lot of ink on full display.<br /><br />She showed me her right bicep to exhibit the following piece in progress:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBcIELphtHQwPWyy59MtAuEGSt02hNvUPv3xv7N7gGE7i8FYhnRIPgjyFA8V9TklFB5mNO7RSydd-Kq_IKIMXAJjp5qr0W-M6kjViGPzcSDP02cYxbkdX7uWlgIAoQryWtOsYtXu3nj4/s1600-h/xmen.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333042248937791810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBcIELphtHQwPWyy59MtAuEGSt02hNvUPv3xv7N7gGE7i8FYhnRIPgjyFA8V9TklFB5mNO7RSydd-Kq_IKIMXAJjp5qr0W-M6kjViGPzcSDP02cYxbkdX7uWlgIAoQryWtOsYtXu3nj4/s400/xmen.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Pink advised me that this is a tattoo of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambit_%28comics%29">Gambit</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28comics%29">Rogue</a>. Shwoing my ignorance, I questioned who they were, assuming they were characters from a comic. I was in the right neighborhood, as they are characters from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men">X-Men</a>.<br /><br />This piece was tattooed by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fatpatnj">Pat Sheridan</a> at <a href="http://www.whitelotustattoos.com/">The White Lotus Tattoo & Art Gallery</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toms_River,_New_Jersey">Toms River</a>, New Jersey.<br /><br />As it turns out, both Pink and her friend Kat are part of a group called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theinkedupangels">The Inked Up Angels</a> (their MySpace page is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theinkedupangels">here</a>). The Inked Up Angels can best be described as a gathering of young ladies with tattoos who model, but without the nudity of the <a href="http://suicidegirls.com/">Suicide Girls</a>.<br /><br />If you head over to their MySpace page and root around the photos section, you'll see more pictures of Pink, including some cool shots where her other tattoos are viewable.<br /><br />And, stay tuned for part two of this post, where Pink's friend Kat unveils what I can safely say is one of the most amazing tattoos I've ever had the pleasure to capture for Tattoosday.<br /><br />Thanks again to Pink for sharing her work with us here!
