Delissa Reveals a Little Bit of Monaco on Seventh Avenue

When I stopped Delissa on Seventh Avenue, she was on her way to <a href="http://www.redrockettattoo.com/index2.html">Red Rocket Tattoo</a>, for another session with Adam, who was working with her on this amazing half-sleeve piece:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80n4lFE30YlSJhdMDSFrEN61hn3JsLJJKoN3Zie6XbuAdzQrzzHjq6SaWklC51T94MDO3DLvkvO9Z7SZ4YvllmbVxVEl_X7i9KgVfXCNbiXpPC44jJRMzDbOh4XbmHRq8whtlsjheuG8/s1600-h/Mucha+full.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377177493026039010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80n4lFE30YlSJhdMDSFrEN61hn3JsLJJKoN3Zie6XbuAdzQrzzHjq6SaWklC51T94MDO3DLvkvO9Z7SZ4YvllmbVxVEl_X7i9KgVfXCNbiXpPC44jJRMzDbOh4XbmHRq8whtlsjheuG8/s400/Mucha+full.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />This is one of those tattoos that, although not finished, was a joy to capture because the majority of it was done, and seeing it after a few more sessions will be fascinating.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Pk9lm-oLriY2l-eo43AGgWTKmgzHl8QB4y1n0lVGz72fwGkq67jxpDKOWm6V9lQPIwsdkoODGQ-FTx3DYaaNAyFsxeccqiQQSyBaFLdSrd3ncqYO5T4ceMho2GAYsAQXilSptPb42cI/s1600-h/Mucha+detail+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377177395538266754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Pk9lm-oLriY2l-eo43AGgWTKmgzHl8QB4y1n0lVGz72fwGkq67jxpDKOWm6V9lQPIwsdkoODGQ-FTx3DYaaNAyFsxeccqiQQSyBaFLdSrd3ncqYO5T4ceMho2GAYsAQXilSptPb42cI/s400/Mucha+detail+1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Delissa is a big fan of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau">Art Nouveau</a> style and this is based on <a href="http://www.muchafoundation.org/MHome.aspx">Alphonse Mucha's</a> 1897 lithograph "Monaco, Monte-Carlo":<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQFvn0sYT-MyJLO3AZ7iJe0KMwB04JBL5fzYRuk_UFUXeiy2oq9khoNASzUIYXXROezBZnPUg3WczGWaCcfoASxpH8lpOjL6SSNtiCRztZHf5Ki54xSzHIO7HSpdarcqhN-mIZ1QrLGJg/s1600-h/alphonse_vienna_09_04.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377177171247032786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQFvn0sYT-MyJLO3AZ7iJe0KMwB04JBL5fzYRuk_UFUXeiy2oq9khoNASzUIYXXROezBZnPUg3WczGWaCcfoASxpH8lpOjL6SSNtiCRztZHf5Ki54xSzHIO7HSpdarcqhN-mIZ1QrLGJg/s400/alphonse_vienna_09_04.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Regular readers may recall that a Mucha-based tattoo appeared earlier in the summer, <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/06/sarah-shoulders-her-slavic-heritage.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Work from Red Rocket has appeared on Tattoosday previously <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Red%20Rocket%20Tattoo">here</a>.
