Fita K-7
"Olá, gostaria de saber qual seria o valor para uma tatuagem (a foto da tatuagem original e a foto do desenho que eu gostaria estão em anexo) na parte de trás do ombro esquerdo. O tamanho seria mais ou menos proporcional ao da foto, em que a tatuagem está no braço. Ah, no caso do desenho, eu não gostaria de preencher a fita com preto, gostaria de deixar igual à fita da tatuagem original, só com o contorno... a única diferença mesmo seria o coração. Obrigada!"

Raposa e Navio
Eu estava pesquisando algumas imagens pra umas idéias de tatuagem e acabei encontrando esse blog (que achei muito bom, por sinal!). Achei extremamente interessante essa área de Orçamentos e gostaria de saber o valor aproximado de duas tatuagens, ambas no braço, como mostram as figuras. O tamanho seria o mesmo das imagens, algo entre 18 e 25cm de altura. As tatuagens também seriam coloridas.
Agradeço desde já."
Christian Benseler, Flor de Lótus, 206
Essa é a última que fiz, segue um estilo oriental, com uma onda e duas flores-de-lótus. Gosto muito da cultura oriental e do significado da flor-de-lótus. Normalmente a onda seria feita em preto e sombreada, mas como tenho a pele muito branca, tatuagens coloridas ficam bem bacanas. E idéia é com o passar do tempo, aumentar essa tatuagem, colocando outros temas orientais nela.
Abraços!"

A Quartet of Tattoos from Greg
I met Greg outside of Madison Square Garden last fall, and he happily shared several of his tattoos, inspired by magic and mythology. On his upper left arm is this wizard:
On his upper right arm, he shared this dragon:
Below that, on his forearm, is this fiery skull:
And, in a tribute to his Irish heritage, is this coat of arms, with the Irish colors:
Greg credited Eddie and Ray, at Lucky Hearts Tattoo in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the artists responsible for his work.
Thanks to Greg for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Rilke On the Flesh
It's February 1, which means we are only two months away from the start of a new edition of The Tattooed Poets Project, and I have begun assembling the first posts for this annual extravaganza.
What better way to acknowledge this looming event, but to post a poetic tattoo?
The following piece is one that I spotted at the end of last summer on Penn Plaza. Belonging to a young lady named Rosa, it has been one of my few remaining 2010 leftovers:
What I noticed first was not that this was a line of verse, but that it was placed on the body in an unusual way. Most lines of poetry, when manifested on flesh, are on the arms and wrist, or the lower legs and occasionally a back. This tattoo runs from the front of to her back, vertically climbing and descending from her shoulder.
The line is in German, and represents a piece from Rainier Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies.
Or, in context:
Rosa didn't give me much insight as to why she had the line tattooed, but it is quite a powerful statement.
When I asked her who the artists was, she replied only that it was someone in Brooklyn that went under the name "The Milk Maid". This sounded familiar at the time, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Of course, I came to be reminded that The Milk Maid is the moniker of Joy Rumore, at Twelve 28 Tattoo, quite a wonderful artist, whose work has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich
Or, in context:
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels’Those are the opening lines of the first elegy, translated by Stephen Mitchell.
Hierarchies? and even if one of them pressed me
suddenly against his heart: I would be consumed
in that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothing
but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure,
and we are so awed because it serenely disdains
to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.
