Shannon's Gramophone

Well, it's December 1st and, at the end of every year, I have a handful of posts that do not live up to my normally rigorous standards of blogworthy quality. I call them "orphans". Whether it is due to missing information, or an unresponsive contributor, I have found that, rather than holding the posts in perpetual purgatory, it is much more therapeutic to release them all at the end of the year.<br /><br />Throughout the month I'll be attempting to clear my 2012 inventory, and I will be mixing in these orphans with some regular posts.<br /><br />The first of the 2012 orphans is this tattoo, which belongs to Shannon:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WR6PQarDhlIbK3UT2cSHpShb15KzUf0KYAs8dvAMVYK9xeQJRdM3wZ3IVheCBupXyEJ_5Y74vRBr_R_gtpGlbZUwhfz7NmQzeJVVVoVuZKdMawpmtuZ7YPV30c9g8LztBwW7-9M9jr4/s614/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WR6PQarDhlIbK3UT2cSHpShb15KzUf0KYAs8dvAMVYK9xeQJRdM3wZ3IVheCBupXyEJ_5Y74vRBr_R_gtpGlbZUwhfz7NmQzeJVVVoVuZKdMawpmtuZ7YPV30c9g8LztBwW7-9M9jr4/s640/photo.jpg" width="458" /></a></div><br />I met Shannon and her husband, Zachary, back in April. Zachary's ink appeared on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/09/zacharys-photographic-ink.html">here</a>. Zachary and Shannon told me that this tattoo was done by an artist in Chicago.<br /><br />They were going to e-mail me the artist's name and I asked again after posting Zachary's tattoo, but I never heard back. Still a pretty cool tattoo, despite my not being able to properly attribute it to the artist.<br /><br />Thanks to Shannon for sharing with us on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.9241607636213303" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: xx-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 seeing 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.
