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.

Our next tattooed poet is Allison Wilkins, who sent us a couple of her tattoos: Allison explained the origins of this octopus: "The octopus tattoo was drawn by my artist friend, Lib Hedgepath, and inked by tattoo artist Ethan ( @ethan_franklin_jrt ) at James River Tattoo  ( @jamesrivertattoo ) (Lynchburg, VA, 1337 Main Street).

Nick's Memorial for a Lost Friend

I met Nick, a tattoo artist from Virginia, on a warm fall day back in 2017. He shared this poem on his torso: Nick explained: "This is a memorial piece for somebody who I loved very greatly in my life. I don't usually talk to a lot of people about it. Even my closest friends don't know who this is for. We had a really long deep friendship and then at one point it was a mistake that was made and we never really got to fix it up and then she moved away and then she overdosed in North Carolina and I mean I didn't get this tattoo for like six years afterwards because I couldn't deal with it but it helps." He composed the poem and the bird represents the albatross from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner . Thanks to Nick for sharing this with us here on Tattoosday!
