Tattoos I Love: Melanie's Hybrid Flower

This is another special edition of Tattoosday, a variation on the Tattoos I Know series. First seen on <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/02/tattoos-i-love-sweethearts-for-my.html">Valentine's Day</a>, this is an episode of Tattoos I Love.<br /><br />This category is reserved for the ink on my wife, Melanie, who turns 40 today.<br /><br />Several years ago, I bought her a gift certificate for <a href="http://www.bodyartstudios.com/">Body Art Studios</a> in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The owner and artist, <a href="http://www.bodyartstudios.com/peter.htm">Peter Cavorsi</a>, is a talented tattooer, and he proved it in this case.<br /><br />Melanie's favorite flower is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_%28plant%29">iris</a>. She wanted something pretty along those lines, and gave Peter a couple of samples of artwork as a reference.<br /><br />What he came up with was a lovely interpretation of the iris, but with other floral elements thrown in. So, although based on her favorite flower, it is a hybrid that is uniquely hers:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVfcGdXss2Iv-F1JwFDdsRVySMURjfKRYkdlH1qfL7_6pGgBn9kyMS6te1Stfx9e8tpQHX073NiC6Wn2JExwJ4bqdlwUaokytvQjRmd3pWGwkI31QYu86fQOeyKJA5ekjDtZKyAAtS/s1600-h/PICT1926.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447913977664189970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVfcGdXss2Iv-F1JwFDdsRVySMURjfKRYkdlH1qfL7_6pGgBn9kyMS6te1Stfx9e8tpQHX073NiC6Wn2JExwJ4bqdlwUaokytvQjRmd3pWGwkI31QYu86fQOeyKJA5ekjDtZKyAAtS/s400/PICT1926.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 326px;" /></a><br />I surreptitiously snapped this photo of the tattoo on her right ankle last year at a little league game in which our younger daughter was playing.<br /><br />Work from Peter at Body Art Studios has appeared previously on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Body%20Art%20Studios">here</a>.<br /><br />Happy Birthday, Melanie!

Trina's Tattoo for Her Momma

The second subject of our March 10 tattoo bonanza is Trina, who sports seven tattoos, several of which are on her legs.<br /><br />After her sixth piece, her mother chided her, saying teasingly, "You have all of those tattoos, and none of them are for me?"<br /><br />The next tattoo solved that problem:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIKQVU6jlpPXDFOlhROrvWhyphenhyphendrrNvieR3jlRpxzeXj4ypfHn9QrUBXD4Z6l_8OQDBL9xi-1mTslM2JYEmGOKoCjv6bVoLjTBp_cYoSUGHzLkdNkZ01hmKZ_-UknqkxMFXD3mElLp-9/s1600-h/trina-momma.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447694936050072018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIKQVU6jlpPXDFOlhROrvWhyphenhyphendrrNvieR3jlRpxzeXj4ypfHn9QrUBXD4Z6l_8OQDBL9xi-1mTslM2JYEmGOKoCjv6bVoLjTBp_cYoSUGHzLkdNkZ01hmKZ_-UknqkxMFXD3mElLp-9/s400/trina-momma.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Reading "I'll always love my Momma," this piece was inked on the back of one of Trina's calves at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/uptown-tattoos-and-body-piercing-new-york">Uptown Tattoos & Body Piercing</a> in Harlem.<br /><br />And what does the woman to whom this tattoo is dedicated think of it?<br /><br />"Mom loves it," Trina grinned.

Juan's Sleeve, Traditional Elements, Inked in the Bronx

A burst of pleasantly warm weather this week signified the end of a quiet winter.<br /><br />Posts have been scarce indeed, but I see busier times ahead.<br /><br />Wednesday afforded me my first "Tat* Trick" of 2010. That term, for those unfamiliar, is reserved for a day when I meet and photograph at least three tattoo hosts. Even rarer is the "Lunch Tat Trick," which involves me getting photos from three people (or more) in the course of an hour, on my lunch break.<br /><br />So I am grateful for the following contributor, and the <del>two</del> three other nice people from the 10th of March.<br /><br />I spotted Juan in Penn Station and he offered up this half-sleeve-in-progress, which includes a skull element and a panther :<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW3GSj3bp6B2x9HVFbDF4WxsVVpcgmqKcPsOnr2vCBuBWvJaOStVvjKdxuxMHg5z7t8YkL_F2DI9wOyTJqMfZH32yMG_WLOhrtF9VxKSEGCdqFXW6x_LxzjEPGsWmd-GkpZArcX0Td/s1600-h/Juan+sleeve+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447341839215409442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW3GSj3bp6B2x9HVFbDF4WxsVVpcgmqKcPsOnr2vCBuBWvJaOStVvjKdxuxMHg5z7t8YkL_F2DI9wOyTJqMfZH32yMG_WLOhrtF9VxKSEGCdqFXW6x_LxzjEPGsWmd-GkpZArcX0Td/s400/Juan+sleeve+1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />Inked by <a href="http://coolhandtats.com/section/147836_Freddie_Arroyo.html">Freddie Arroyo</a> at <a href="http://coolhandtats.com/home.html">Cool Hand Tattoo</a> in the Bronx, this tattoo features his ideas and the artist's interpretation of the suggested design elements. The mask at the bottom of the design is one element I find exceptionally interesting, as it deviates slightly from what a traditional demon mask looks like, and takes on a slightly more original appearance which more likely reflects the style of the artist:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtQgwgGiKSK_q08ZtCl0bh190SmHErMS5KKx1_AVqBwo-34NPLfDgH1nQbl0UMu7JZVkfIKvm1_MljYzu4Vr3G10w54FMcKFCKr75D5Qhs4Nce4rVOLqE7j-lEht5h_wzA3bIjfAS/s1600-h/Juan+sleeve+1+mask+detail.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447342696264786146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtQgwgGiKSK_q08ZtCl0bh190SmHErMS5KKx1_AVqBwo-34NPLfDgH1nQbl0UMu7JZVkfIKvm1_MljYzu4Vr3G10w54FMcKFCKr75D5Qhs4Nce4rVOLqE7j-lEht5h_wzA3bIjfAS/s400/Juan+sleeve+1+mask+detail.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />The work as photographed represents two sittings.

Amy's Circle of Sanskrit Honors The Loss of Something She Needed to Lose

It was one of those New York City Tattoosday moments, when you really hit it off with someone and a simple question about a tattoo turns into a lengthy conversation.<br /><br />I was coming home much later than usual and, at West 4th Street, where I'll occasionally switch from the A train to the D train, I spotted a woman in front of a subway map on the platform. She had tattoos on her ankles and was carrying a large hoop.<br /><br />Amy, a nursing student and trapeze artist, shared the long segments on either side of her right food, inked in Sanskrit, quoting the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita" style="font-style: italic;">Baghavad Gita</a>:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimY5NrBN-ZOUKn9ndepyd0Qtjv3wfLRPGcsRAWqfPkCzBj21jEArMt1-v8J0oR6m-PGjT5d5MzGhrhzPcPwKeaaMbiUiY3Xr37vkMbbQhXZs9iyN024KFiY6U0rC2fLbRn8T-RaJV8/s1600-h/Amy+ankles.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446956812253135954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimY5NrBN-ZOUKn9ndepyd0Qtjv3wfLRPGcsRAWqfPkCzBj21jEArMt1-v8J0oR6m-PGjT5d5MzGhrhzPcPwKeaaMbiUiY3Xr37vkMbbQhXZs9iyN024KFiY6U0rC2fLbRn8T-RaJV8/s400/Amy+ankles.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 202px;" /></a><br />She paraphrased the meaning as "Weapons do not pierce this. Fire does not burn this. Such is the eternal nature of the soul."<br /><br />Or, in one translation, referring to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Atma</span>, or higher self:<br /><br /><blockquote>Weapons do not cut this Atma, fire does not burn it, water does not make it wet, and the wind does not make it dry. (2.23)<br /> This Atma cannot be cut, burned, wetted, or dried up. It is eternal, all pervading, unchanging, immovable, and primeval. (2.24)<br /></blockquote><br />Why this quote? Aside from her appreciation of Hindu art and design, she got in "in honor of forgetting a person's number that I really needed to forget".<br /><br />In other words, as I interpret it, she couldn't remember the number of someone who she was better off without. Her mind released the link to the person the heart craved and, in hindsight, the mind was operating in the best interest of the soul.<br /><br />She had this work done by an artist at <a href="http://purplepanthertattoos.com/">Purple Panther Tattoos</a> on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood California.<br /><br />Although the photos above were taken on the train platform at West 4th, we spent a good amount of time chatting on the D train after it pulled into the station. We talked about tattoos mostly, and I recommended some artists to check out in New York.<br /><br />Amy said she had been recently thinking about a new tattoo and it was funny that I just happened to approach her about her own work.<br /><br />We parted ways when the D rolled into 36th Street in Brooklyn, where I switched to the R train, and Amy headed to work teaching an Aerial Hoop class (which explains her possession of the large ringed object I alluded to at the beginning of the post).<br /><br />A hearty thank you to Amy for sharing her inspirational tattoo with us here at Tattoosday!

Tattoorism: Corline's Beautiful Tree

It's her first tattoo and took about four hours.<br /><br />Corline says she and Dennis collaborated on the design. They worked at a friend's home studio, he drew it on her back, and then took about four hours to tattoo it, making his own interpretation of their design. She adds, "Trees are really important to me. I went to travel after a long relationship and found my roots and my freedom...".<br /><br />Thanks to Corline for sharing her lovely tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Tattoosday's First Ambigram Tattoo

Now that we have the horrific ink-hiding months of January and February behind us, I was looking forward to seeing what March provided.<br /><br />I was rewarded by the cooperation of Brian, who shared this, one of his five tattoos:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWueqNkAiBHxCgezOO6ZKOIg59XjQK6DCugCtHW7g6SiHXJl9gyREUn3wLyIwCcWoY9uwb0gbXvJmREmFfmPM2EbrsUGM779saNWfikzVW3Cv8wXal5_v5IskN4vWzCWE1eAI82oNf/s1600-h/Ambigram+Life.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444365346738599058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWueqNkAiBHxCgezOO6ZKOIg59XjQK6DCugCtHW7g6SiHXJl9gyREUn3wLyIwCcWoY9uwb0gbXvJmREmFfmPM2EbrsUGM779saNWfikzVW3Cv8wXal5_v5IskN4vWzCWE1eAI82oNf/s400/Ambigram+Life.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" /></a><br />For those readers unfamiliar with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigram">ambigrams</a>, they are designs that reveal images or words from both perspectives.<br /><br />Brian's tattoo, for example, reads "Life" from this perspective.
