I met Jenny last month in Penn Station and was thrilled when she allowed me to photograph her half-sleeve, which is one of her fourteen tattoos:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDDZqUnqTavE2notONIT_5cWgUatylhyJSUNUlwhSfNKbIJr1h71zqPhPC_cCodfatU81B4hBRO0IajUYg2iQIEiz9QsJ2NY7WT3hCqPvaZ-V3CqDr7ZIZZmvos3D6w5MXYavuao0/s1600/marilyn+collage+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuDDZqUnqTavE2notONIT_5cWgUatylhyJSUNUlwhSfNKbIJr1h71zqPhPC_cCodfatU81B4hBRO0IajUYg2iQIEiz9QsJ2NY7WT3hCqPvaZ-V3CqDr7ZIZZmvos3D6w5MXYavuao0/s640/marilyn+collage+wm.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How cool is that? This piece represents about twelve hours of work. Jenny had the basic idea and went to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jonathanleonhardt">Jonathan Leonhardt</a> at <a href="http://somethingwickedtattoo.com/">Something Wicked Tattoo</a> in Roseville, California. The rest, as they say, is history.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iQV54z-qUM78zoSOa28loeFhQQ2CtlUO0XSFAQrr1AN-nrwYVUImxRGUgEa10lziUG0xQlJsDHYrAhI3jKfc4ZNPyNqrrThqzCbSny-6qCtOuEaFs39sSwHKkNvbxBGsUlaoEz3G/s1600/Marilyn+Surf++detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iQV54z-qUM78zoSOa28loeFhQQ2CtlUO0XSFAQrr1AN-nrwYVUImxRGUgEa10lziUG0xQlJsDHYrAhI3jKfc4ZNPyNqrrThqzCbSny-6qCtOuEaFs39sSwHKkNvbxBGsUlaoEz3G/s640/Marilyn+Surf++detail+wm.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmcojCdop3jXcs6qRr2naVu4LDXAVhJ6bhX6qOL4kCdKOZJyIOP9LDNXDhqurAQZpiouoQIQ9r6jZreY_BLw1NhRBVpk9jm_Gut7WGPrpvFG2HjBccjNwP5Cf_uD0FIpnzk0t_jVaB/s1600/Marilyn+Surf++detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The concept behind this is simple. Jenny is a surfer and she loves Marilyn Monroe. Why not combine the two to create a unique tattoo to make a statement? This is such a cool piece, I was honored to get tp share it with everyone here at Tattoosday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks to Jenny for sharing her amazing work with us here on the site!</div>
