At <a href="http://www.hm.com/">H & M</a>, Melanie emerged with the girls and asked me, "Did you see those flowers? They were beautiful!" Of course, I had missed them, but I was intrigued.<br /><br />As the family moved on, I went back into the store, seeking the tattoo in question. After a few minutes, I found Michelle, the host of the tattoo above. She was very receptive to pulling the shoulder down on her top so I could see the whole piece.<br /><br />Michelle, who has seven tattoos in all, had these orchids inked because she thought they were beautiful. She had them done a year and a half ago by Renee at Memphis Tattoo in Bayside, Queens. The shop is now called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/memphistattoo">Top Shelf Tattoo</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Michelle for being so receptive and sharing her awesome tattoo here with us at Tattoosday!
