Jon's Molten Flesh Tear

Well, we seem to be taking care of a lot of our orphan posts earlier in the month than later, as I expected. Our next piece is from Jon, who I met in Herald Square back in June. He was visiting New York from England, and his travelling companion, Marjo, shared her tattoo with us back in July <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/07/marjo-shares-amazing-lighthouse-from-uk.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Jon let me snap a photo of his leg, which is a take on one of those torn flesh motifs:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAX_5x48ChpueEcjgRtR41j9eH3kyz6vo3RsamhLeHkPv4BZe2RSm6HMcMJGYln_sfh4v4xViBOVslT2hTFvFSr7Wobng6lItgEX20sirbFVJ7qzztg0aKl5Wq0U-TKYDEegZl6sKH20/s615/IMG_0355.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAX_5x48ChpueEcjgRtR41j9eH3kyz6vo3RsamhLeHkPv4BZe2RSm6HMcMJGYln_sfh4v4xViBOVslT2hTFvFSr7Wobng6lItgEX20sirbFVJ7qzztg0aKl5Wq0U-TKYDEegZl6sKH20/s640/IMG_0355.JPG" width="389" /></a></div><br />Note you can see Marjo in the background, rocking a pretty cool leg piece.<br /><br />I don't have much more to say about Jon's tattoo, which I dubbed "Molten Flesh Tear," other than he credited to an artist named <a href="http://www.bluedragontattoo.co.uk/#/mick-j/4516808492">Mick J</a> at <a href="http://www.bluedragontattoo.co.uk/#/home/4515483034">Blue Dragon Tattoo</a> in Brighton, England.

Jason's Chicago Tattoos

Here's another set of photos in our Orphans category.<br /><br />Back in August, as my company was closing down, our new parent company had a few guys from Chicago visit our digs, looking for assets to transfer to their office in the Chicago area.<br /><br />They spent several days in Manhattan and we interacted during the day as we all went about our work.<br /><br />On one particularly warm day (it was August in New York City, after all), one of the guys, Jason, was wearing a tank top, and I spotted some ink on his arm. He consented to my taking pictures for the site, and was supposed to get back to me to discuss further and properly credit the artists involved. As the saying goes, I never heard from him again.<br /><br />First off, he had the Chicago skyline tattooed on his upper arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixSIOD5V3u23OM1AWWIlQrA-tobva995NDXA1ICrSz-i9NuZ4gIfISQk5zcLAWeAGmS0AaLvVkoM5sDWLcmDQnpo7kimeoHScciOtmdhJcNltgIOwvd4S_jmtlk3yo6SyatC5rmlgw3zg/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixSIOD5V3u23OM1AWWIlQrA-tobva995NDXA1ICrSz-i9NuZ4gIfISQk5zcLAWeAGmS0AaLvVkoM5sDWLcmDQnpo7kimeoHScciOtmdhJcNltgIOwvd4S_jmtlk3yo6SyatC5rmlgw3zg/s640/photo.jpg" width="345" /></a></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/AVvXsEgGWCpmp6HsrppCQG9wY63sbsp3whe5fpz1Lp2_re4E7Q1QGAVbecogJOg6gPOHPha3tfG-ikf3osNtDJLJwCgYzpaX65VCVXB6fNQj16y1c_t1Q40toBeStEUccAcEV6zoJxvnB_L2xD8/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWCpmp6HsrppCQG9wY63sbsp3whe5fpz1Lp2_re4E7Q1QGAVbecogJOg6gPOHPha3tfG-ikf3osNtDJLJwCgYzpaX65VCVXB6fNQj16y1c_t1Q40toBeStEUccAcEV6zoJxvnB_L2xD8/s640/photo.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br />The script at the bottom says "South Side," referring to the area of the city where he was from.<br /><br />Like many Chicagoans, Jason is a huge sports fan, thus the collage of his allegiances on his biceps:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibmAldzjhu5wLec6HNq-rD_wPZ8OnuKjvMRJGdBmqgZSmJRExhaODDhLKMKHCDas414lueBFcQJGLWMxAr7whSmnQ1ObCM_wXfMAhF2PWcd-b8W9NBWnr_5oZsYI4Bt6bYM3WXJrE1lKo/s775/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibmAldzjhu5wLec6HNq-rD_wPZ8OnuKjvMRJGdBmqgZSmJRExhaODDhLKMKHCDas414lueBFcQJGLWMxAr7whSmnQ1ObCM_wXfMAhF2PWcd-b8W9NBWnr_5oZsYI4Bt6bYM3WXJrE1lKo/s400/photo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />For the unitiated, those are logos, from left to right, of the <a href="http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=cws">Chicago White Sox</a> (baseball), <a href="http://www.chicagobears.com/">The Bears</a> (football), <a href="http://www.nba.com/bulls/">the Bulls</a> (basketball), and <a href="http://blackhawks.nhl.com/">the Blackhawks</a> (hockey).<br /><br />He credited the work to <a href="http://www.firehousetattoos.com/">Firehouse Tattoos</a> in Chicago.

Kate's Owl in Penn Station

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As I indicated yesterday, we're showcasing some of our "orphans" - posts that were just not quite perfect.

Shannon's Gramophone

Well, it's December 1st and, at the end of every year, I have a handful of posts that do not live up to my normally rigorous standards of blogworthy quality. I call them "orphans". Whether it is due to missing information, or an unresponsive contributor, I have found that, rather than holding the posts in perpetual purgatory, it is much more therapeutic to release them all at the end of the year.<br /><br />Throughout the month I'll be attempting to clear my 2012 inventory, and I will be mixing in these orphans with some regular posts.<br /><br />The first of the 2012 orphans is this tattoo, which belongs to Shannon:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WR6PQarDhlIbK3UT2cSHpShb15KzUf0KYAs8dvAMVYK9xeQJRdM3wZ3IVheCBupXyEJ_5Y74vRBr_R_gtpGlbZUwhfz7NmQzeJVVVoVuZKdMawpmtuZ7YPV30c9g8LztBwW7-9M9jr4/s614/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WR6PQarDhlIbK3UT2cSHpShb15KzUf0KYAs8dvAMVYK9xeQJRdM3wZ3IVheCBupXyEJ_5Y74vRBr_R_gtpGlbZUwhfz7NmQzeJVVVoVuZKdMawpmtuZ7YPV30c9g8LztBwW7-9M9jr4/s640/photo.jpg" width="458" /></a></div><br />I met Shannon and her husband, Zachary, back in April. Zachary's ink appeared on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/09/zacharys-photographic-ink.html">here</a>. Zachary and Shannon told me that this tattoo was done by an artist in Chicago.<br /><br />They were going to e-mail me the artist's name and I asked again after posting Zachary's tattoo, but I never heard back. Still a pretty cool tattoo, despite my not being able to properly attribute it to the artist.<br /><br />Thanks to Shannon for sharing with us on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.9241607636213303" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2012 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; 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.

Rocco Shares Some Work by Grez
