Zack's Spectacular Foot Tattoos

I met Zack earlier this month as he was walking north on Broadway. But, like many Tattoosday encounters, the ink I spotted (on his leg) was not what ended up here on the blog.<br /><br />Behold, Zack's feet:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHaAn_W434Ls8Q0lNI5hRHIqdWMTGQIVF0MjQT_6sdEATgF2ZLcnbc7Ivexj0BW1EthOLxAJoLGHDIheheYAuU6hyphenhyphenHKdGsodScVO6GVf8SNQawhdzkDqK_-B8GBPNcAE6RoGsDban/s1600-h/Live+Feet.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386620619194738786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHaAn_W434Ls8Q0lNI5hRHIqdWMTGQIVF0MjQT_6sdEATgF2ZLcnbc7Ivexj0BW1EthOLxAJoLGHDIheheYAuU6hyphenhyphenHKdGsodScVO6GVf8SNQawhdzkDqK_-B8GBPNcAE6RoGsDban/s400/Live+Feet.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 367px;" /></a><br />These incredible foot tattoos were created by <a href="http://www.bleedbluetattoo.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=16">Beef Stu</a> at <a href="http://www.bleedbluetattoo.com/">Bleed Blue Tattoo</a> in Lexington, Kentucky. Zack recently moved to New York from the Bluegrass state.<br /><br />Zack told me that the idea for these tattoos came to him in a vision. His right foot tattoo is comprised of a DNA strand, the key to life. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3c9_o3lD-5c3YFDBro7H_yQgJYdvQcOP3HnKIk0OZhCAbomIPj7eR2CAVyall7oTknI5pu9ywfA_kG4RpiAwVUWSYDke_AFbhf1hZFa0_kX_Z56OuNCLnqzy0zUOa-bwCyuFqniF/s1600-h/DNA+foot.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386619871717700946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3c9_o3lD-5c3YFDBro7H_yQgJYdvQcOP3HnKIk0OZhCAbomIPj7eR2CAVyall7oTknI5pu9ywfA_kG4RpiAwVUWSYDke_AFbhf1hZFa0_kX_Z56OuNCLnqzy0zUOa-bwCyuFqniF/s400/DNA+foot.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />And the left foot. with the skull, represents death.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbGkg79fspEzZ5jY-9kTpf3Yiyey4T6DxZtejdnOjlUxVmzWZDad4dFf4VxB6xDzVDJZ4HgjqF7xLgxNry7lTTD26zoP4wtEk42XVVmER4h9wox8Ci1HXoPxO1BDLwAbb6JoTyg5W/s1600-h/Sugar+Skull+Foot.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386620306098710754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbGkg79fspEzZ5jY-9kTpf3Yiyey4T6DxZtejdnOjlUxVmzWZDad4dFf4VxB6xDzVDJZ4HgjqF7xLgxNry7lTTD26zoP4wtEk42XVVmER4h9wox8Ci1HXoPxO1BDLwAbb6JoTyg5W/s400/Sugar+Skull+Foot.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />The word "LIVE" is spelled out above the pieces, with "LI" on the right foot and "VE" on the left. The tattoos, together, Zack told me, serve as a "reminder not to get caught up in the shit" and to "make the most of what you can between life and death".<br /><br />It took three or four sessions (the feet are not easily inked) for these tattoos.<br /><br />Thanks to Zack for sharing his amazing foot tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
