Tina's Lovely Lace Tattoo

Earlier this summer, I was standing on the subway platform at 34th Street, waiting for the A Train, when I noticed an incredible tattoo on the hand of the woman sitting on the bench next to me. I introduced myself to Tina, and she allowed me to take pictures of this very unusual tattoo:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5QxmUgzpQ5aSoQxNDu4t7JSCfhqFJWkpF_oAYlJTeBp5FPrBKxGjSWNJ9vQ4pD1x447IJa9KkGuDBLt6hyzlZ-0opNkza138xpejLPMNFYmALTj6iPlGGahqrLi9SRNhPcjX2vsreuE/w381-h659-no/IMG_1142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5QxmUgzpQ5aSoQxNDu4t7JSCfhqFJWkpF_oAYlJTeBp5FPrBKxGjSWNJ9vQ4pD1x447IJa9KkGuDBLt6hyzlZ-0opNkza138xpejLPMNFYmALTj6iPlGGahqrLi9SRNhPcjX2vsreuE/w381-h659-no/IMG_1142.JPG" /></a></div><br />That's the outside of the wrist. Here is the inside part:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiv353ev9DHgWcoLVuE3cHFkfti-TTZlYZ7-7rrKpsZODKOoS53XOKW1mUBBfqlBkO_vtupczMaEeMT3L2gBbglsn7HAp99qxWsbIZi9u2tUc2ddE8YGswRuML9y_8NwmM3KGa1i1c-YU/w494-h659-no/IMG_1143.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiv353ev9DHgWcoLVuE3cHFkfti-TTZlYZ7-7rrKpsZODKOoS53XOKW1mUBBfqlBkO_vtupczMaEeMT3L2gBbglsn7HAp99qxWsbIZi9u2tUc2ddE8YGswRuML9y_8NwmM3KGa1i1c-YU/w494-h659-no/IMG_1143.JPG" /></a></div><br />Tina credited this work to Laura Babsie Gardner, formerly of <a href="http://www.kitchens-ink.com/">Kitchens' Ink Tattoo & Art Gallery</a> in Denver, Colorado. Laura is currently working out of <a href="http://madelinehairdesign.com/tattoo-artist-laura-gardner/">Madeline Hair Design</a> in Denver.<br /><br />She explained to me that Babs had told her she "always wanted to do a lace doily tattoo and I said 'Sure, let's do it.' "<br /><br />It's a really interesting application of grey and white ink.<br /><br />Thanks to Tina for sharing this wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span></span></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-46881142-cabb-e4ff-b2d9-d79cdf8000cf"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">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.
