This past September, I started a new job downtown, on Broad Street, and this tattoo was the first one I found for the site in my new neighborhood:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZj2xFS7Vkmnwif9ambrEvLcw8G0gZRwZIHSA55MdX6gVNYb5xFsT1afojOCQlbdO3zT5dK5DpUdqLXF5QVYdNpzg9o1SfvxufXVPQ3mlT6kF66lN5MnQ-83qlrpoxQoN77eMJFf3REg/s1600/savannah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZj2xFS7Vkmnwif9ambrEvLcw8G0gZRwZIHSA55MdX6gVNYb5xFsT1afojOCQlbdO3zT5dK5DpUdqLXF5QVYdNpzg9o1SfvxufXVPQ3mlT6kF66lN5MnQ-83qlrpoxQoN77eMJFf3REg/s1600/savannah.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><br />This tattoo is on the back of John's calf, and was inked by Lisa from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Whatever-Tattoo/121772271204707">Whatever Tattoo</a> on St. Marks Place in Manhattan.<br /><br />He explained it was the Savannah <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_Girl">Bird Girl</a>, most familiar to many people as the statue on the cover of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Berendt">John Berendt's</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679751521/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0679751521&linkCode=as2&tag=bill03-20%22%3EMidnight%20in%20the%20Garden%20of%20Good%20and%20Evil:%20A%20Savannah%20Story%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=bill03-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0679751521%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil</a>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlA3VTDVCM3aLU302ZqoHgX3nCcyB4hXHw9UFnStpFa5fyUIHyIRIXUR1d75NTwaGAjohstIq7ysizbY5n-MnO3KJdAXxU73LECdP1Uv-ngC4UVlfXL1jRDCepHmqOcUlLkrK5sS3qI_M/s1600/midnightcover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlA3VTDVCM3aLU302ZqoHgX3nCcyB4hXHw9UFnStpFa5fyUIHyIRIXUR1d75NTwaGAjohstIq7ysizbY5n-MnO3KJdAXxU73LECdP1Uv-ngC4UVlfXL1jRDCepHmqOcUlLkrK5sS3qI_M/s1600/midnightcover.jpg" width="412" /></a></div><br />John explained, "I loved the book and I just fell in love with the statue.”<br /><br />Thanks John for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2014 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are seeing 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.
