Where The Starry Night Sidewalk Ends

I met Christopher last summer at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade ( @mermaidparade ). He shared this cool tattoo: This familiar-looking imagery is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's   The Starry Night . Christopher told me that, when he was a kid, he used to carry around a Starry Night poster, so he has had an affinity for the artwork for a long time. What's particularly cool about this piece is that, on the inner part of his arm, it merges into other familiar imagery: That is the cover art from Shel Silverstein's classic book Where the Sidewalk Ends . Christopher credits the tattoos to an artist named Pee Wee in Manhattan. Thanks to Christopher for sharing his cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.

The artwork depicts Butt the hoopoe , flying out of the golden envelope to take the protagonist, Haroun, back to the Sea of Stories. The tattoo was created by Georgia Grey  ( @georgiagreytattoos ) and done at Bang Bang Tattoo ( @bangbangnyc ). She now works at Roses and Rebels Tattoo in Jersey City. Sarah elaborated on the tattoo: "I love stories and I love the way [Rushdie] writes about old stories and new stories merging together ... the description of the setting sounded like the most magical place you could ever hope to see if you love stories and I couldn't imagine what it looked like myself ... I loved [Georgia Grey's] work so I asked her to render it for me and now I get to keep i...
