A Beacon for Marci on Buddy's Arm

I met Buddy a while back while riding the subway. He had 13 or 14 tattoos and shared this piece, from his left forearm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0sOJAASu8uwgMBD__-s2ktc8-94-xYy2It3tFeLaeYw-ffrml0HJkvpvMgG1-xdsB0BBv9KJkPxbc2ZRZoaJ9G10v-aCFA1Eu4VQ8VY5jYsiV2HteM0xtuXZ4Z8H_WUtgTu3CuS4F1jI/s1600/marci+on+buddy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0sOJAASu8uwgMBD__-s2ktc8-94-xYy2It3tFeLaeYw-ffrml0HJkvpvMgG1-xdsB0BBv9KJkPxbc2ZRZoaJ9G10v-aCFA1Eu4VQ8VY5jYsiV2HteM0xtuXZ4Z8H_WUtgTu3CuS4F1jI/s640/marci+on+buddy.jpg" width="325" /></a></div><br />Buddy explained that this old gas-lit street light serves a memorial piece for Marci, his French bulldog, who passed away at the age of 14. Marci was his "light in the dark" for a dozen years,<br /><br />The tattoo was inked at <a href="http://handofglorytattoo.com/ein/about">The End is Near</a> in Brooklyn. He couldn't remember the artist's name, but based on his description (and my rudimentary knowledge of the artists there), I believe the tattooist was Joey Wilson, who has moved on to <a href="http://asylumtattoostudios.com/">Asylum Studios</a> in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.<br /><br />Thanks to Buddy for sharing this tattoo 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><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><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.
