Missy's Initials, Illustrated by Gorey

I met Missy on the corner of 23rd and 7th back in the beginning of September and she shared her two tattoos, on both biceps.Her right arm bears this piece:

and her left shoulder hosts this cool image:

 

These images may seem familiar, because they are based on Edward Gorey's Alphabet.

Missy has the two pieces representing her initials, M and N. The right arm represents "M": 

And the left arm represents the "N" for her last initial:

Missy got these tattoos in Santa Cruz about ten years ago.

Thanks to Missy for sharing her cool Gorey tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Heart Not Time

"I do not like the concept of linear time," Fredrika said to me, "moments and feelings should be more important".

This was her thought behind this tattoo:

I met Fredrika in Penn Station last month and she was kind enough to share this tattoo on her forearm.

She has a lot of ink, but this is her favorite piece.

Fredrika hails from Hamburg, where she is lead singer for a band called Jaguar of My Dreams.

Rune's Viking Reflects His Cultural Pride

On a Friday last month, I ran into a couple from Denmark near Herald Square in the pedestrian median between Broadway and 6th Avenue.

The gentleman had a lot of work done on his legs, so I approached and introduced myself. Rune was kind enough to not only share a tattoo, but to pull up his shorts a bit to reveal this tattoo that ran from his mid-thigh down to his calf:

 

Rune explained that this Viking tattoo reflects the pride he has in the old history of the Norsemen that inhabited Scandinavia in the earliest part of the last millenium.

Rune credits Frans at Hugo Tattoo with this wonderful work.

Thanks to Rune for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Orçamento, navio pirata

"Boa tarde,

Conheci o site de vocês hoje, e achei superbanca essa área de orçamentos.

Há muito tempo venho querendo fazer uma 1/2 manga com o tema de piratas, mas nunca havia encontrado uma imagem que pudesse servir de base para o desenho que eu quero. Esses dias dando uma 'caçada' na internet eu encontrei essa imagem e achei fantástica, muito parecida com o que eu tinha em mente, para não dizer igual.

Gostaria de saber quanto sairia mais ou menos um desenho semelhante a esse no meu braço direito, somente meia manga (Medi mais ou menos o tamanho do meu braço e dá a altura de uma folha sulfite A4), e com cores mais escuras do que essas que estão no desenho.

Gostaria do céu nos tons da foto ou algo puxado pro roxo, mas com nuvens escuras (remetendo a tempos de tormenta), gostaria de fazer o mar mais escuro (como se fosse noite), o barco um pouco mais realista (Com velas de caveiras rasgadas e tudo o mais...) e gostaria de fazer a caveira da imagem,como se fosse uma ilha no meio do oceano, mais ou menos no mesmo local em que a pessoa que tatuou esse desenho fez, na parte interior do braço. No desenho, a areia da praia começa na parte superior do braço (onde eu tenho interesse em fazer a minha tattoo), mas eu não quero essa areia não, queria na parte superior só o mar, o navio e a ilha, e se mais pra frente eu tiver oportunidade de completar a manga, ai sim eu faço a praia.

Moro em Aguaí, interior de São Paulo, cidade vizinha a São João da Boa Vista e próxima de Jaguariúna,Campinas,Mogi Guaçu. Já morei no ABC, então teria facilidade de me locomover caso o estúdio de algum de vocês seja na região, porém prefiro algo mais próximo a minha cidade.

Optei por procurar o site de vocês pelo fato de não conhecer muitos tatuadores nessa região,e tatuagem é uma coisa muito importante pra mim então não prezo muito pela questão financeira e sim pela qualidade do trabalho.

Obrigado pela atenção."
