Jonathan Gives Us a Sun on a Sunday

I met Jonathan in Brooklyn Heights and he shared this, one of his four tattoos:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVBRoUChLc54AA7SAYLkGmBrwgVXhF22WLqVbP3XqWUsCRpqebGiX4UwMsM7dqK8oPCLyw6LbSOsrAVzUdA50vmwkgCni8mh1Djgckp9CcnGqhBtorh4o0gMcXIdlIOKfwg6hiCpsI3A/s1600-h/MidEastSun.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360166752759727650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVBRoUChLc54AA7SAYLkGmBrwgVXhF22WLqVbP3XqWUsCRpqebGiX4UwMsM7dqK8oPCLyw6LbSOsrAVzUdA50vmwkgCni8mh1Djgckp9CcnGqhBtorh4o0gMcXIdlIOKfwg6hiCpsI3A/s400/MidEastSun.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />This tattoo, on his inner right forearm is based on artwork he found on the CD of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofra_Haza">Ofra Haza</a>, an Israeli musician with Yemenite roots.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihImkFQN0p0BgupeXBsNMjeUmI-wxzJNmyN9agISstnRZ_VZ2q1YeufCegTPj7DBD_GDs2kZATDdR_jrwngMFFXWE8J46N3ckvHArqWRAkoqSpeSu0riU3onn_HkK8wA-d4vD2OW9avQk/s1600-h/ofra.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362735431521673218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihImkFQN0p0BgupeXBsNMjeUmI-wxzJNmyN9agISstnRZ_VZ2q1YeufCegTPj7DBD_GDs2kZATDdR_jrwngMFFXWE8J46N3ckvHArqWRAkoqSpeSu0riU3onn_HkK8wA-d4vD2OW9avQk/s400/ofra.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Jonathan believes it to be a middle-Eastern symbol that is a "stylized sun." It is ambiguous enough to cause many to take pause and ask him what it is. Some have even questioned if the outer circle is comprised of coffee beans. He appreciates the solar representation illuminating his arm.<br /><br />The tattoo was inked by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cabezadevaca">Steve</a> at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artfreektattoo">Artfreek Tattoo</a> in Providence, Rhode Island.<br /><br />Thanks to Jonathan for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
