Ashley's Scarabs

I met Ashley a couple months ago, over the summer, on a Friday afternoon at the Broadway-Lafayette subway station.<br /><br />She had two tattoos on her upper left arm that jumped out at me:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXTDYXTnY8DPvK6jPBT5wDhRsWasBwxYsmkUd7HoWF4gy4XIx7In4ksdGgAZ3TeKYdhbbVpzX3h4xLGsfaJf16CctEfT7Da5-4P3B0r4Y6-hGy1TiiULyfJCTW-rSKUH5t76-sn2pQEUo/s1600/Blue+Scarab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXTDYXTnY8DPvK6jPBT5wDhRsWasBwxYsmkUd7HoWF4gy4XIx7In4ksdGgAZ3TeKYdhbbVpzX3h4xLGsfaJf16CctEfT7Da5-4P3B0r4Y6-hGy1TiiULyfJCTW-rSKUH5t76-sn2pQEUo/s640/Blue+Scarab.jpg" width="440" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbjVgRJuNLIIo2UNh6rkpW34wbBKxW-J1OjsHPpGg-hCkSONgJsrv0aA8GLT7RILleR7VYtDiDwfiVnmvWBeFkm6Twuo6U4bPOJd_GJhPxEV3Pkf8W5zShdQoC0opNe8XJiG9PmNS4H4/s1600/Red+Scarab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbjVgRJuNLIIo2UNh6rkpW34wbBKxW-J1OjsHPpGg-hCkSONgJsrv0aA8GLT7RILleR7VYtDiDwfiVnmvWBeFkm6Twuo6U4bPOJd_GJhPxEV3Pkf8W5zShdQoC0opNe8XJiG9PmNS4H4/s640/Red+Scarab.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><br />These two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarab_%28artifact%29">scarabs</a> were tattooed by <a href="http://jasonjune.com/Site/Jason_June-Enter.html">Jason June</a>, from <a href="http://www.threekingstattoo.com/site/">Three Kings Tattoo</a>, in Brooklyn.  Why scarabs? Ashley explained that they have "a family significance from the scarab bracelet that I have." She showed me the bracelet and two of the stones matched the colors in the tattoos. Pretty neat.<br /><br />Check out posts tagged Three Kings <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Three%20Kings%20Tattoo">here</a> to see the work we've featured from the shop on Tattoosday.<br /><br />Thanks to Ashley for sharing these scarabs with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} </style> <![endif]--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
