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...

Black Fashion Models 2009
The current issue of Italian Vogue looks at how the fashion industry has moved past the rail thin negative size models to the lack of black models in the industry.
In a move that is causing the industry to take a deep look at itself the July issue of Italian Vogue features only black models shot by fashion photographer Steven Meisel. Mr. Meisel is also the photographer behind Madonna’s infamous 1992 book, “Sex”.

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.
Thanks to Kerry for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

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.
