Caitlin Shares an Undersea Cover Up

Back in July, I attended the 2nd Annual <a href="http://poetrysocietyny.org/new-york-city-poetry-festival/info-for-this-year/">New York City Poetry Festival</a> on <a href="http://www.govisland.com/html/home/home.shtml">Governor's Island</a>. Not only did I meet some great tattooed poets, I met a lot of other folks too. The festival had a few of Brooklyn's famous food trucks lined up, serving people hungry for grub and verse.<br /><br />One of these vehicles was the <a href="http://kimchitacotruck.com/KimchiTaco.html">Kimchi Taco Truck</a>, and Caitlin, one of the truck's employees, shared this cool cover-up on her back:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1wOTRFGphBm3zHebRL84qWkOISP2sJEg4jvuW_p8etqALQxTwM4DNWtsfrZrJATaHEjAT6A8dQJ2t3f8LLVjF5m4RIx-aC55Ipg_3TaS8vxOd5P-JBW3rAI9BiWz067bqdXQCYpVuAs/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1wOTRFGphBm3zHebRL84qWkOISP2sJEg4jvuW_p8etqALQxTwM4DNWtsfrZrJATaHEjAT6A8dQJ2t3f8LLVjF5m4RIx-aC55Ipg_3TaS8vxOd5P-JBW3rAI9BiWz067bqdXQCYpVuAs/s640/photo.jpg" width="574" /></a></div><br />Caitlin got this tattoo at <a href="http://eastsideinktattoo.com/">East Side Ink</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Conlon_(artist)">Patrick Conlon</a>, who she picked because he was from San Francisco, which is where she is from as well.<br /><br />She explained that the piece is a cover-up. "I had a really janky tattoo of a star back there," she said, "that's where the starfish is." She had Patrick do the whole design and turn it into a seascape.<br /><br />Patrick also works at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gracelandbrooklyn">Graceland Tattoo</a> in Brooklyn, His work has been featured previously on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2011/09/colleen-returns-to-share-some-lovely.html">here</a> and <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/04/jackie-sheelers-swirling-tribal-tattoos.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Caitlin for sharing her work with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><b id="internal-source-marker_0.13292060582898557" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2012 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="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.
