As the year winds down, I am clearing out the cobwebs - a hodgepodge of posts that just didn't make the grade. What causes an encounter from May to be delayed over seven months? Several things, like, in this case, a photo that just didn't make the grade. Further problematic is a subject's non-working e-mail address, and a credited artist who is not listed on the attributed shop's website.
Still, I hate to just totally abandon a piece, so we'll just go with what we have...
I met Jasmin just outside of Penn Station and she let me photograph this tattoo:
This is a phoenix that Jasmin got in 2010. It doubly keeps her grounded and represents her rise from the ashes.She told me she wanted the "girliest-looking phoenix," something "light and wispy".
The two phrases in the banners are "Ut prosim aliis" and "Il buon tempo".
"Ut prosim aliis" is the motto on her family (Jennings) crest and translates to "that I may be of use to others," or, in Jasmin's words, "that I might profit others".
She told me that "il buon tempo" meant "each new day is bright," but it is more commonly translated from the Italian as "good times".
She credited the work of this tattoo to an artist named Zack at Psycho Tattoo 2 in Atlanta.
Thanks to Jasmin for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
