Back in March, on a particularly warm end-of-winter day, I ran into two young ladies in Penn Station, one of whom was named Cat. I spotted three of her tattoos almost immediately, and we had a nice discussion about her ink.
Cat explains:
And the name of her friend's cat? Sushi. You know I just had to ask.
The next tattoo she got was this piece on her left arm:
This is based on the art by Kurt Halsey. Cat elaborates:
"It's just always been a favorite of mine. I saw [Halsey] down in Philly and that one was my favorite print." Of course, it helps that the girl in the illustration is holding a cat.
On her opposite arm is this tattoo:
This is based on the work of Garance Doré, a fashion photographer. She's just a huige fan and loves this illustration in particular.
All of the tattoos were done by Nick Trammel at Transcend Tattoo in Branford, Connecticut
Of course, when I was looking back at the photos I took of Cat's tattoos, I noticed in the Kurt Halsey-illustrated piece that the word "saying" was inked on her ribs. It was peeking out from under her top. Of course, I had to ask and Cat obliged by sending me a photo of the whole tattoo:
I'll let Cat explain in her own words:

Cat explains:
"the eyes were my first [tattoos] ... on my eighteenth birthday ... I thought it would be cool to base it on my best friend's cat ... I got it just because, I'm Cat ... get cat eyes on my back, why not? It was a birthday present..."

I'll let Cat explain in her own words:
"The one on my ribs is from the Christopher Isherwood book A Single Man. The quote is 'waking up begins with saying am and now.' It's my favorite book and for me it's just a reminder to live in the moment and not get caught up with the little things. It sounds cheesy but when I got the tattoo I was in a weird place so I like having the reminder close to me."Thanks to Cat for sharing all of these tattoos with us on Tattoosday!
