Last month in Las Vegas I snapped a bunch of random tattoo pictures at the Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival. Here's another: So it may not be the best Princess Leia tattoo you've ever seen, but the whole concept is pretty cool.  This entry is ©2023 Tattoosday.

Last month in Las Vegas I snapped a bunch of random tattoo pictures at the Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival. Here's another: There's a lot going on here but, ultimately, it was the tattoo of Edgar Allan Poe and the banner "Forevermore" that drew me in. This entry is ©2023 Tattoosday.

Tattoosday Goes to Vegas: The Man in Black

Last month found me in Las Vegas, attending the Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival. In addition to great music, I was awash in a mass of humanity with great tattoos for the first time in several years. And although the setting wasn't conducive to interviews, I did snap a bunch of photos for Tattoosday, starting with this one, which got the old juices flowing again: At first glance, I thought it was Clint Eastwood's man with no name from the Spaghetti-western era, but I soon realized that "The man in black fled across the desert," referred to Roland, the protagonist in Stephen King's Dark T ..read more

Re-post: Mike's Memorial Day Ink

The following post is from 2009. I have reposted it in 2013 and in 2017, and five years later, it seems worth posting again. This was originally shared to commemorate Memorial Day, and seems well worth sharing again: It only seemed fitting that, on this Memorial Day, we feature a tattoo that honors our men and women in uniform. A week ago, I was fresh off of my experience at the New York City Tattoo Convention, and everything I saw on the street was uninteresting. Until I passed by Mike and did a double-take. This is the tattoo on Mike's inner right forearm: Mike explained that, as a Unit ..read more

In July 2018, I was on Governor's Island for the New York City Poetry Festival to enjoy poetry and spot tattoos. I met Al who was kind enough to let me take this photo: Al credited this work to Bianka Nedbál (@bianca_nedbal) who worked out of Edison Bar & Ink in Budapest, Hungary before it closed in September 2020. Al told me the design was inspired by a photo of a staircase bannister that Bianka then interpreted into this lovely tattoo on her ribs. Thanks to Al for sharing cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2022 Tattoosday. If you are seeing this on anoth ..read more

You Get What You Get For Your Birthday

Last summer on my birthday, my family and I headed to Crown Hieights, Brooklyn, and celebrated the day, in part, at Electic Anvil Tattoo: My daughters, Jolee and Shayna, had decided to treat their old dad to a new tattoo. What was I getting? It was still undetermined: What's this? To those who aren't familiar with the concept, a customer pays for a token that they drop in the gumball machine. A little plastic ball drops after twisting the handle, and inside the bulb is a drawing. That's what you've just selected for your new tattoo. What happens if you don't like it? You can pay extra f ..read more

Dawn lonsinger and the Three of Swords (The Tattooed Poets Project)

We didn't want National Poetry Month to end without celebrating at least one tattooed poet. Fortunately, previous contributor dawn lonsinger has been kind enough to share, with some new ink to appreciate! dawn elaborates: "I got this Three of Swords tattoo -- on some level -- to mark the grief of this year, of all the losses piling on top of each other, the pandemic making even more vivid the disturbing social inequities & technological dysphoria & substratal loneliness in this country. In tarot, the Three of Swords card represents suffering from major heartbreaks or betrayals, fee ..read more

Jolee's Ghost Light Shines Through the Pandemic

Yesterday, when the world was acknowledging the first anniversary of the delcaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was thinking about today, the anniversary of the lights going out on Broadway and in theaters across New York City.  This was a particularly big deal in our home, as my daughter Jolee is an actor and worked front of house at The Public Theater. This made me think of an amazing tattoo she got back in 2018, a "ghost light" on her thigh: Jolee explains: "A ghost light is an electric light that is left lit on the stage of a theater when the theater is unoccupied and would otherw ..read more
