驚くほど何もしませんでした。ここのところ疲れていたからかもしれません。
好きな銭湯にすら行きませんでした。
お酒すら・・・それはないです。
でも絵は描きましたよ（笑）
Sarah Channels Emma Goldman
I recently had the intense displeasure of discovering that my camera had broken. For someone whose spare time is spent taking pictures of other people's tattoos, this was a harrowing experience, especially since my BlackBerry's camera is flash-less and takes good pictures under only specific lighting conditions.
So what's a poor inkspotter to do? Pass out his card and hope for the best.
And despite dozens of cards distributed to many people with cool tattoos, the only one who has really come through for me is Sarah, who I met last Friday on the subway platform at West Fourth Street, as I waited for the D train to Brooklyn.
Possessor of several tattoos, the one of Sarah's I spotted was on her inner left forearm. My photo was blurry and, as the D pulled into West Fourth, she handed me her card so I could follow-up with her. Thankfully, she is a woman of her word, and sent me this photo yesterday:
Since Sarah is a writer and journalist, I'll let her do the talking. You can check out her work at her website ohyouprettythings.net and/or read her blog at champagnecandy.tumblr.com. Sarah explains:

It says "It's not my revolution if I can't dance to it"As a lover of type tattoos, I had inquired about the font used and Sarah did not disappoint: "the font is Garton and the words revolution and dance are in Miama".
The tattoo is my most recent, and it's a paraphrase of a possibly-apocryphal Emma Goldman quotation. It's a line that spoke to me the first time I heard it. I'm a political journalist and a feminist activist, and Goldman's always been someone I looked up to. Also, I became a political person through music, and dancing and music have a particular significance for me.
It was done by Ryoko at Brooklyn Tattoo [who we most recently saw inked Julie Powell's tattoo here] and she's super-awesome...

Ganesh Waits for the A Train
Actually, Kerry was waiting on the platform for the uptown A Train when I walked by at 34th Street.
How could I not stop and ask her about this tattoo:
This absolutely stunning depiction of the Hindu deity Ganesh took between eight and nine hours to complete.
Guy Ursitti at Thicker Than Water is the tattooist responsible for this work of art, the newest (at the time I met her) of Kerry's approximately fifty tattoos.
The detail in the tattoo is absolutely incredible.
Work from Thicker Than Water has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Sean Shares a Host of Traditional Tattoos
I ran into Sean at the Foodtown in my neighborhood and when I stopped to talk to him about his tattoos (he has nine), I ended up with photos of several pieces, all of which reside on his left arm.
Most of the designs are traditional tattoo subjects, all of which were inked by Eli Quinters at Smith Street Tattoo Parlour in Brooklyn. Work from Smith Street Tattoo has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
First up is this amazing lighthouse:
Sean explained that this tattoo is for his mother, as this tattoo is based on her "favorite lighthouse," the Fastnet Lighthouse on the most southerly point on the coast of Ireland.
Then there is this owl tattoo:
This was done for no other reason that Sean has always liked owls. If you love owl tattoos, be sure to head over to this site.
Then there is the elephant tattoo:
He has this piece because "elephants never forget".
I know we posted a sugar skull yesterday, but here's another one:
This was all Eli's design. Sean gave him free reign and likes the fact that it is unusual in that there are not a lot of colors in it, like one sees in most sugar skull tattoos. For all that have appeared on Tattoosday previously, check this link.
There is also the traditional female figure, not modeled after anyone in particular, just done in a traditional style:
And Sean's last tattoo is this bat:
He told Eli that he "wanted something spooky" that included the moon. Quinters free-handed this piece, starting with a white Sharpie and then finished with a darker Sharpie before finishing the tattoo.
What's neat about all of Sean's tattoos is that they flow nicely together, as readers can see elements of many of the tattoos on the borders of the photos of specific designs.

Sugar Skull Sunday - One From Ryan
Since I seem to capture more sugar skulls than any other design, why not reserve a day just for these decorative symbols which, at their roots, have deep religious significance?
Two weeks ago, I met Ryan, who has ten tattoos.
Of that lot, he offered up this design on his left bicep, which Charlie Foos created for him at FlyRite Studios in Brooklyn.
Charlie Foos is now at Read Street Tattoo Parlour in Baltimore.
Aside from the traditional nature of the sugar skull tattoo, Ryan also loves Mexico and this design recalls that beautiful and diverse culture south of the border.
Thanks to Ryan for sharing this decorative tattoo with us on Tattoosday!

Katie's Tattoos: A Tribute and a Memorial
I met Katie on 34th Street one afternoon when I stopped to ask her about her foot tattoo:
This tribute piece on her left foot is for her cousin, whose initials are JMS. The letters sit astride the ribbon designating awareness for the disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The two feet represent the fact that she helps raise awareness in the fight against MS by participating in an MS Walk each year.
For more information on MS, visit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's website here.
Katie also shared with me these wings on the back of her neck:
The initials "MCF" refer to her brother Mark, who was killed with a friend a few years back when a train struck them. This memorial piece ensures that her brother is always with her.
Katie's tattoos were inked by Spencer at Fat Kat Tattoos in Keyport, New Jersey. Work from Fat Kat has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Katie for sharing two of her four tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Leyna's Balloon Keeps Her Grounded
Leyna was leaving the Borders at 2 Penn Plaza when I spotted one of her tattoos and asked about it.
This was the tattoo in question:
It is located on the back of her left leg, on the calf.
The design was inspired by the cover art from the Modest Mouse record We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.
Leyna thought the anchor was cool, and she feels it is a good representation of herself in her 20's.
The tattoo was inked by Derik Snell at Hand of Glory Tattoo in Brooklyn. He liked the design because he had never tattooed a hot air balloon before. Work from Hand of Glory has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Another one of Leyna's tattoos caught my eyes, as well:
This two-word snippet, "ecstatic and insatiate" is an excerpt from Allen Ginsberg's Howl
. I'd speak more about it, but it appeared first on the most awesome blog, Contrariwise. I'd direct you over here to read what Leyna had to say about this tattoo, and encourage you to linger about and check out the seemingly endless array of literary ink.
