Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art. Angel tattoos are easily...

Lori's Siamese Twins With a Somber Memorial

Gambar
Back in June, I met Lori at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade . She shared this tattoo on her arm: This cool tattoo of Siamese Twins has tattoos of its own, including the "10/30" visible on the chest. Lori explained that this refers to today, October 30, which she referred to as the "happiest and saddest day," noting that it was the day she married her husband, but it was also the day he died, one year later, on their first anniversary. She credited the work to Mike at Read Street Tattoo Parlour  in Baltimore. Thanks to Lori for sharing this lovely, yet haunting, tattoo with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.

Angelina and Her Chakras

Gambar
Going back into my unpublished archives, I remembered I never posted this shot from the 2017 Coney Island Mermaid Parade : This is Angie ( @angelina_monalisa ) who had these chakra tattoos inked by Matt Huff ( @matthufftattoo ) at Brooklyn Ink  ( @originalbrooklynink ). Angie explained the chakras to me, telling me that "they are basically the different portals of energy that connect the body to the physical and spiritual world, as well as the top chakra, which is your connection to all of the energy and knowledge of the universe (essentially, the Third Eye)." From top to bottom, the chakras are crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root. She noted that "the root is technically located at the foot but, ya know, artist liberties." Read more about chakras here . Thanks to Angie for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.

Where The Starry Night Sidewalk Ends

Gambar
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.

Cristina's Heart of Palm

I spotted this tattoo on Cristina back in June while attending the 2018 Coney Island Mermaid Parade  ( @mermaidparade ): These two palm trees make a perfect heart shape. Nothing fancy, just a cool design and a positive message. Cristina credited the work to Josh Arseneau  ( @josharseneau ) at Electric Anvil Tattoo  ( @electricanviltattoo ) in Brooklyn.

Last weekend at the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island, I met quite a few mermaids, including Nikki , a self-described "Land and Sea Mermaid."

Mermaid Brielyn Shares Some Mer-Ink at the Mermaid Parade

Gambar
Last Saturday, I was hanging out at the Coney Island Brewing Company  ( @coneyislandbeer ), prior to the annual Mermaid Parade ( @mermaidparade ). This was an excellent venue to enjoy a  Mermaid Pilsner and talk to some actual mermaids about their tattoos. One such mermaid, Brielyn ( @mermaidbrielyn ), had the ink to match her awesome mermaidness: This lovely mermaid and merman were tattooed at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention ( @villainarts ) this past winter by Humberto ( @elbenttattoo ), who is based out of Paris, France. Thanks to Brielyn for sharing her awesome mer-ink with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.

Coney Island, Baby!

Gambar
It goes without saying that Coney Island and the Mermaid Parade go hand-in-hand and, quite honestly, I couldn't imagine a parade like this anywhere else. Some folks express their love of Coney Island in many ways, often in the form of tattoos, like Ash, one of the many Mermaids I met last Saturday. Check out her phenomenal tribute, in ink:  As you would imagine, Ash told me "Coney Island is my favorite place." From the Face of the Steeplechase to the world-famous Cyclone, Ash has the locale all packed into one frame that runs the whole side of her thigh. She credited Yurgo from Explicit Tattoo in Suffern, New York, with this great tribute to Coney Island. While I was talking with Ash, some random dude wanted a photo with her, so I thought I'd include it here, partly because it looks like a shark is attacking his head: Thanks to Ash for sharing this awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Terri Shares Two Great Tattoos (at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade)

Gambar
This past weekend, I attended another wonderful Coney Island Mermaid Parade in south Brooklyn. I met a lot of great people, including Terri  ( @ivyleagueink ), who shared some amazing work, including this amazing owl covering her stomach: She credited Peeko ( @peekotattoos ) from Pyramid Ink Tattoo ( @pyramidink ) in Brooklyn with this piece. The quote, "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how," is by Friedrich Nietzsche , and pre-dates the owl. It was done at True Blue Tattoo in Maspeth, New York. She also has this amazing portrait of the Bride of Frankenstein on her thigh: Please pardon the shadow in the upper right part of the tattoo. That phenomenal piece was done by Shane O'Neill ( @shaneoneilltattooist ), who won Ink Master, Season One, and tattoos out of  Infamous Tattoo in Delaware. Thanks to Terri for sharing her amazing work with us here on Tattoosday! Great meeting you, Terri! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday. If you are seeing this on another website...
