Another Friday the 13th & An Amazing Vargas Batgirl Tattoo from Jess

First of all, it seems appropriate to share this tattoo today:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskrOrVFqdIKmWUTjgF3iAG3k2gWWac_W1NmNO3G4t19vKW1vAK8oT3Q_Ka7jC1PFDGC9WYytcdDaXHQ41qQ-62EVWTFVRBOtYBrVSzkrtzYltioVWj5didx4rV6R1vt_1sCnaHyIjTNk/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskrOrVFqdIKmWUTjgF3iAG3k2gWWac_W1NmNO3G4t19vKW1vAK8oT3Q_Ka7jC1PFDGC9WYytcdDaXHQ41qQ-62EVWTFVRBOtYBrVSzkrtzYltioVWj5didx4rV6R1vt_1sCnaHyIjTNk/s400/photo.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br />This tattoo belongs to Jess, who I met walking up 8th Avenue in the high 30's earlier this week.<br /><br />It's a Friday the 13th tattoo special, inked by Sean McCartney at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/INK-ZONE-Tattoo/174849585895403">Ink Zone</a> in Yorkville, New York.<br /><br />Today is the the day when hordes of bargain-seeking ink hunters descend on shops offering up the $20 Friday the 13th-themed tattoo (that's $13 for the tattoo and a $7 tip). Two of the shops I know in Brooklyn that have done the event in the past are not doing it this month (more on that in the immediate future), but I believe Dare Devil in Manhattan is doing it again.<br /><br />But I digress...<br /><br />I posted the Friday the 13th cupcake because it was timely, but the piece that jumped out at me when I saw Jess was this, on her left arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5yOccIbEwMX0Q2hJkwdbtCB9kU1KywIA6iUJYlhGCHeXSxKWROdIMuBqDifn4Cgv2oz33Oxp4KkOe-Mq0CoZm3x6Pyncbx0WEiP39cdHxbBEbHoMSt6LAHXZ08Cj20EllzxicaIT1Bk/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/AVvXsEjX5yOccIbEwMX0Q2hJkwdbtCB9kU1KywIA6iUJYlhGCHeXSxKWROdIMuBqDifn4Cgv2oz33Oxp4KkOe-Mq0CoZm3x6Pyncbx0WEiP39cdHxbBEbHoMSt6LAHXZ08Cj20EllzxicaIT1Bk/s640/photo.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><br />This piece was inspired by a famous pin-up of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batgirl">Batgirl</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Vargas">Alberto Vargas</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfuyBZvnvYcDdlweHo9jkj82cGg2F1-bC6wYLxgSt81JRUyWgznxhtuC5r21V7f09ZctU4xiN9f9cSSDuKtnofYEryKzTwE34KXIwa1JBvi-vUhPem-1LihYO6nwsdJJnwZIDZFELEqY/s1600/Untitled-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfuyBZvnvYcDdlweHo9jkj82cGg2F1-bC6wYLxgSt81JRUyWgznxhtuC5r21V7f09ZctU4xiN9f9cSSDuKtnofYEryKzTwE34KXIwa1JBvi-vUhPem-1LihYO6nwsdJJnwZIDZFELEqY/s400/Untitled-18.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><br />Jess got this tattooed because she "just loves the pin-up style".<br /><br />That tattoo was inked by <a href="http://staceymartin.com/site/">Stacey Martin</a> at <a href="http://dovetailtattoo.com/site/">Dovetail Tattoo</a> in Austin, Texas.<br /><br />Thanks to Jess for sharing both of these tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><b id="internal-source-marker_0.5825666573364288" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2012 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; 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.
