Kristen's Trilogy of Knots
The 34th Street Platform for the A Train has been very kind to us here at Tattoosday, even more so this summer than in years' past.
Take Kristen, for example. She generously offered up this small portion of her corporeal canvas:
Estimating that she is at least a quarter covered by ink, this "trilogy of knots" was the artist's response to Kristen's request to attach the cobwebs on her elbow to the end of her wrist.
The artist, identified only as "Batman" near Canal and Broadway, was also asked to incorporate a Celtic pattern, as well.
The final result was to Kristen's liking and we here at Tattoosday thank her for sharing the tattoo with all of our readers!

Happy Bloggiversary to Me!
Three years ago today, Tattoosday was born.
On July 31, 2007, I put up a post on BillyBlog, featuring a tattoo on a co-worker named Sephora.
The idea was to post a weekly tattoo on Tuesday, and use this is a vehicle to expand my horizons a bit; meet interesting people and learn about tattoos.
There was one problem. I enjoyed it too much. There weren't enough Tuesdays in the week. I was impatient and wanted to post right away, not wait until Tuesday. And so, as Kurt Vonnegut would say, it goes....
So a month later I threw the previous months post up on the stand-alone blog, Tattoosday. And BillyBlog faded.
It's still there, but Tattoosday is my passion and I couldn't have even imagined, back in 2007, how easy it would become for me to talk to strangers about their ink.
The once-a-week project produced forty-five separate interactions in July, we have a 30-day backlog of material, and this past week we registered our 650,000th hit. Not too shabby.
Go see the original post here to see how far we've come.
And a hearty thanks to all our contributors, all our fans, and all the tattooists out there creating wonderful, interesting, portable art. Without all of you, Tattoosday would have been a blip of an idea, and nothing more.

Nick Remembers Billy, I Remember Siki
My first tattoo was modified from a piece of flash at Body Art Studios by an artist who goes by the moniker "Siki". Shortly thereafter, Siki left the shop and went on his way.
My friend Pete knows who he is but, until recently, I hadn't met anyone with ink from Siki, other than myself.
Then, I met Nick on the R train one day after work and, while discussing his many tattoos (he "lost count after 45," they've all connected) , I heard him talking about Siki.
So today's tattoo is by Siki and was, like my lynx, modified from an old piece of flash. Although he adapted it a lot more fully and developed a more unique tattoo.
Siki and Nick had a mutual friend named Billy, who Nick would often go with to get tattooed. When he passed away, they added Billy's name to the bottom of the tattoo as a tribute to their departed friend.
Thanks to Nick for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Women Tattoo Crazy
Many of us have tattoos all over his body because there is the presence of a person of various Ken hates tattoos and tattoo design They are like the work and the types crowds and individuals.
Crazy types of people always want to live their lives with their own style means they do not care about anything, and they take much more interest in things where they feel comfortable and happy.
I do not think that tattoos only shows bad behavior or crazy stuff because my personal experience, and I saw in my life many people form the community of Nice there are tattoos on their bodies and I asked one person, and he said was established in memory tattoos love with someone she loves.
This means that the bad advice of many people who hate tattoos are completely wrong tattoo is a body art and tattoos all prefer their own purposes.
Jessica's Feather for her Mother
I met Jessica on the express platform at 34th Street earlier this month.
She shared this gorgeous peacock feather tattooed on the upper right section of her back:
The piece is an homage to her mother, who loves everything peacock, and has countless items, like bracelets and other jewelery, that emulate the vivid colors of these beautiful birds.
She credits this tattoo to an artist known only as Allison.

Michelle's Tattoo Takes Your Breath Away
Michelle has a lot of ink, twenty-one tattoos, all told, but when I stopped her in Penn Station, she chose to share this one with us:
Boldly planted on her upper right arm, Michelle explained that she paraphrased and pared down a longer quotation to read, more simply, "Live for the moments that take your breath away". I believe she was referring to the saying, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
The flowers in the photo are cherry blossoms that were done in blue, rather than the traditional pink because, as Michelle tells it, she's "not really a pink kind of girl".
This tattoo was inked by Fat Tony at Hobo's Tattoo Shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Bear Tattoos
Bear tattoos are commonly depicted in two different manners, one being fierce and ready to strike with an open mouth, and secondly as a more endearing and lovable bear design. No matter what style of bear tattoo you decide upon, there is no doubt that bear tattoos in general are some of the most beautiful and breathtaking of all designs, if you are a bear lover of course.
Enjoy a quick look through this outstanding collection of top quality bear tattoos for both men and women alike.
Adding a little color to your bear tattoo can really bring the design to life.
These bear tattoo pictures above are less traditional, but equally as exciting and clever.
Growling bear head tattoos are perhaps the most commonly seen variety of bear artwork, and for good reason. These bear head tattoos are beautifully frightening!
