Caitlin's Pin-up with a Heart on the Sleeve
Earlier this month, I ran into Caitlin as I got off the A train at West 4th Street. She has twnety-three tattoos and, as customary, I asked if she could pick one to share with us here on Tattoosday.
She obliged, selecting this, her most recent tattoo:
This is based on the artwork of the pin-up stylings of Baron von Lind. I believe the piece that this is replicating is his work "Daphne":
I wish I could give proper credit to the artist, but it was a noisy train platform, and I scribbled down Willie Childress, Asheville, North Carolina. If anyone knows who this is, or what shop he belongs to, please let me know so I can give the artist his proper due.
Thanks to Caitlin for sharing her pin-up with us here on Tattoosday!
Be sure to head over to the Baron von Lind website to see more of his art.

Jason's Pennsylvania Devils
I ran into Jason on the West 4th Street platform back in July. He was on his way to Smith Street Tattoo, to accompany a friend who was getting tattooed by Bert Krak.
I asked him if he wouldn't mind sharing some of his work, and he gladly complied.
I snapped some photos and chatted with him all the way to Brooklyn. Check them out:
Why a devil on his leg? Jason said he was considering putting something on his leg that he was afraid to place there. When he asked himself if he should really do that, he reasoned, just by asking himself that, meant he should do it. He also gave some advice that I thought was very valuable.
Jason said that when he is looking to get tattooed, and isn't sure what he wants, he'll go to an artist and ask them what they're currently drawing. Most artists in the shop, when they're not tattooing, are either drawing, sketching, painting, or creating something. Jason reasons that if you ask for what the artist is currently doing, he or she will be that much more passionate about the work.
This logic is behind several of Jason's tattoos.
The work above was created on Jason by Ryan Westvall at Old Soul Tattoo in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

Garrett's Peacock Recalls the South
I met Garrett back in June in Penn Station when I was still reeling from the loss of my camera.
I had yet to replace my photographic equipment and I had yet to receive the loaner from my awesome friend Jill.
So, I did the best I could with a flash-less BlackBerry camera to capture Garrett's awesome sleeve:
Yes, folks, it's another peacock in our midst, in a summer during which we have been treated to a variety of peafowl.
Garrett's choice to get this tattoo stems from his love of these birds, combined with an appreciation of fashion, and how the peacock speaks to that sensibility. He also likes how the males are the fairer of the two sexes.
What's especially remarkable is that this is a black and gray tattoo, with no plans to take on any color ink.
The inclusion of magnolias, azaleas and violets, all in homage to the South, make this potentially dizzyingly colorful tattoo more remarkable in its basic palette. Rather than explosions of color, we are rewarded with subtleties of shading.
