Looking back to the summer, I ran into Derek one evening while waiting to board the R train at 36th Street in Brooklyn.
I first noticed this piece on the outside of his right leg:
Derek explained that he had this illustration by John Tenniel from Alice's Adventures Under Ground by Lewis Carroll because Alice's passion and curiosity appeal to him. The book is a classic of children's literature and was later published as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
This piece depicts Alice being stretched tall, and Derek added this tattoo to his chest:
That one (above) is just incredibly well-done.
Just last week, Derek sent me his latest Alice-inspired piece to me via e-mail :
Inked on his right forearm, this is another Tenniel illustration from the book featuring the scene in which Alice observes three playing cards painting white roses red, on orders from the Queen of Hearts. Derek noted that "this particular image is a reminder not to blindly follow orders without considering the consequences of my actions."
Derek credited all three of these tattoos to Craig Rodriguez at Hand of Glory Tattoo in Brooklyn. Craig is an amazing artist whose work first appeared on Tattoosday here. I'm a big fan of the shop, as evidenced by these posts. I plan on visiting them again in January for their regular Friday the 13th extravaganza.
Thanks to Derek for sharing these awesome tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
