I spotted Anthony's ink while biking along the Belt Parkway promenade at the end of May.Always a fan of word tattoos, I stopped him while he was jogging and he was kind enough to stop and allow me to snap the photo above.It was only after I got a chance to see it that I recognized the top verse as what is commonly called the Serenity Prayer:God Grant...

Just a quick post for Friday.Earlier this week, I met Dave on the West 4th Street platform and took a picture of this tattoo on his leg:I like this skull because it's so unusual. It has the feel of a sugar skull, but it's not quite, It's certainly not your typical piece, and the neon colors really make it jump off the skin.He got this about three years...

Well, it appears that I am not the writer of the Monster-Blood Tattoo / The Foundling's Tale series after all.Apparently - if you can credit it - it was THIS person!It seems I have been tricking you all along - either that or I look remarkably like Michaela Conlin of the TV show Bones.Maybe this is why I do not post upon this blog as often as would be good to do!*Just for the record:...



I met Laici last month outside of Penn Station, near the corner of 33rd Street and 8th Avenue. I was intrigued by this design on her upper right arm:This design consists of several symbols from the Zodiac.Laici explained, "My dad's a Cancer, my mom's an Aries, my sister and I are Scorpios, and my brother is a Sagittarius."She designed...

Last month, I found myself at the corner of 86th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, waiting for the crosstown bus.I looked over to my right and saw a tattoo with incredible line work:This tattoo belongs to Sierra, who was kind enough to send me a photo of the tattoo later that evening. She also told me a little more about the piece:"My tattoo is of...

Yesterday I posted Bjorn's Michael Jackson Thriller tattoo. When I met him, walking on the Coney Island Boardwalk, he was accompanied by Anna, who also had quite a few tattoos. She offered up this one on her left thigh:The banner around this classic ship tattoo reads "Yo no soy marinero soy el capitán."This is a refrain from the Richie Valens...

It's hard to believe that it has been three years since Michael Jackson's tragic passing. It only seems fitting that we pay our respects by sharing this tattoo, which illustrates the King of Pop in one of his most famous incarnations: a zombie in Michael Jackson's Thriller.This piece belongs to Bjorn, who I met earlier this month, out on the Coney...

Yesterday I attended the 30th Annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade. It was my first excursion to Coney Island for this specific occasion and, let me say, it is sensory overload, especially if you are interested in tattoos.Fueled by Coney Island lager, I managed to meet a few people, take photos, and even get some ink stories for future enjoyment. What...
