Several months ago, one of my co-workers, Anna, wanted to commemorate the completion of her externship from culinary school.
It was funny, because at the time, she didn't realize I wrote Tattoosday and then discovered the site through googling. She stumbled upon this post that featured a chef's knife.
Anna liked the idea of using a knife, but wanted a whisk too. She spotted this piece and met with Vinny Romanelli at Red Rocket Tattoo in Manhattan, giving him the several source images she had found and explaining what she wanted.
He designed this for her and then completed the tattoo for her in about twenty minutes. She had him stick with black and gray and wanted him to emphasize the shading. This is the end result, positioned just above her ankle:
Other work from Red Rocket has appeared on Tattoosday here.
Thanks again to Anna for sharing her culinary ink with us here on Tattoosday!

Neal's Foo Dog
This winter has been an especially cold one here in New York and, as any loyal reader can confirm, I haven't reported on many tattoos that I have glimpsed in the city.
However, last night at the grocery store around the corner, I met Neal, who let me take a quick snapshot of his foo dog on the left side of his neck:
Foo dogs are traditional Asian-style tattoo designs, and have various meanings and interpretations. Click here to see some other posts on the site that have featured foo dog designs.
Neal told me that this was inked by Koji at Studio Engima on Avenue U in Brooklyn many years ago. Work from Studio Engima has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Neal for sharing his foo dog with us here on Tattoosday!

Tattoos I Love: Sweethearts for My Sweetheart
So what does an inkblogger get his sweetheart on Valentine's Day?
Why, a love-themed tattoo, of course.
Lucky me, the good folks over at Thicker than Water Tattoo had a Cupid special, $14 tattoos on February 14.
A lot like the Dare Devil Tattoo Friday the 13th Special (one of which is documented here), the lucky tattoo recipient can choose from an assortment of day-themed flash.
Here's what my lovely bride Melanie had to choose from:
When we got to the shop, Melanie signed in #53, and they were averaging a dozen or so per hour, so we knew we had a little bit of a wait.
I specifically selected Shon Lindauer, since he did such an awesome job with my tiger tattoo.
It was nice that Melanie got to meet Shon and the piece she selected was one that he had drawn up.
He tattooed her in the middle of the back and took just about fifteen minutes:
She was very happy with the end result:
When we left around 3:45, the waiting list was over a hundred, so they looked like they had a long night ahead of them.
Thanks to Shon and the staff at Thicker Than Water for another great tattoo experience!

Tattoos I Know: Paul's Love, Over His Heart
On this Valentine's Day, I'm sharing a tattoo that my friend Paul had recently done. He showed me when I was taking the latest set of photos on the cover-up her is working on.
He pulled down the top of his shirt to reveal this simple message:
Paul's message to his wife is simple, but it is what is not spoken that is most remarklable. Paul always swore up and down that he would never ink a woman's name on his body. When he showed me this, I was surprised, but love can make us express ourselves in such ways, especially when we love getting tattooed.
Paul had this done by Pierre at Fort Apache Tattoo Studio, just around the corner from where we work in Manhattan.
Happy Valentine's Day from Tattoosday to Paul and Ana. Stay tunde, as there may be more Valentine's ink on the horizon!

In actuality based on the chase aggregate of keywords butterfly tattoos are appropriate up in the top best requested designs for women. So you may be apprehensive why so abundant absorption is accustomed to butterfly tattoos right? Well back you anticipate about it makes absolute sense.

Rosary Tattoos
Depicted in the picture is the perfect example of a rosary tattoo. It’s a wonderful way to express your faith or show your devotion to your church. But, how much do we really know about the rosary? I would venture that most people, even those who get rosary tattoos, know very little about this religious symbol. The Rosary is the tradition filled essence of Christian devotion in which vocal and mental prayer unite the whole person in effective and purposeful meditation on the central mysteries of Christian belief. The Rosary thus joins the human race to God through Mary whom God chose from all time for the specific purposes of mother and intercessor. Each bead in the rosary is prayed upon until the entire series is completed. It is a practice that started in the middle ages and continues to be practiced today. So, if your one of the faithful or you simple want to show your devotion to your religion then a rosary tattoo might be just what your looking for. The rosary tattoo can also be utilized to memorialize a person who has passed away as well. Try adding in lettering or other religious symbols to further personalize it to your specific needs and ideals.
Here’s a person with one of those rosary tattoos that appears almost as if the person was wearing a real rosary on their arm. After all that is what you would think if you saw this one from just a ten or so feet away. At first glance you would assume it was a real rosary and only with a closer look would your realize that his person was actually wearing nothing more than some ink on their skin.
This is one of rosary tattoos that has what would be the beads of the rosary wrapped around this persons arm two times which really gives the illusion of it being a real rosary holding up its cross. But the cross is just a bit out of place, being a Celtic type of iron cross it is not one you would usually see on a rosary but I certainly imagine it could be. I know very little about organized religion so I can’t answer those things. What I do know is seeing that type of cross on a rosary is uncommon, that’s all. Is you ever think of getting one of these rosary tattoos just pick one that matches a rosary you would carry and you can’t go wrong.

Leo Tattoos
This leo tattoo glyph is just one example of a Zodiac tattoo that you can get if you are born under this sun sign. You can choose your Leo tattoos from among various representations of Leo. You can choose the mane of a lion, the elemental sign of Leo, which is fire by the way or the ruling planet of leo which just happens to be not a planet at all, but the sun, source of Earth’s heat and light. This leo tattoo actually combines the glyph with the fire element. Now all this person has to do is to put a little sun up above it, to complete the entire theme. No matter what leo tattoo you choose, you need to keep two thing in mind. One, your sign governs your destiny. And two, with your leo tattoo, you also declare that you are bent upon getting results of your actions, and in that regard you always come out as a winner. So, choose a design that not only reflects your personality but also shows your pride in your unique sun sign. And for goodness sake spice it up a bit will you? And may the stars be with you.
This is a good representation of one of the leo tattoos available out there. It is a very well done, and very well detailed. It’s the face of a male lion and looking right at us, as if it means business. Not meaning it is going to attack, but certainly saying you’d better not mess with me, just keep walking. And anybody who doesn’t listen might just be a fool. Either that or a lion slayer. Anyone getting one of these leo tattoos is most likely getting it because Leo is their astrological sign. And in as much as that is true, the meaning behind it is that this person most likely feels very strong and always wants to take charge of any and all situations. I am a Leo so I know these things to be true, but as far as how they relate to this tattoo, that’s just a guess.
One of the strangest things about being a Leo is that even when you do not consider yourself the strongest or toughest, you still try to take charge all of the time and most of the time it works, whether you have any leo tattoos on you or not. For some reason people have a tendency to relinquish controls of things to other people who have the courage to step up and take those controls.

Markjames' Knuckles
Last week I posted this great owl tattoo belonging to Markjames, a Pennsylvania-based tattoo artist.
Prior to sharing it, however, I also snapped his knuckles:
When I asked what this meant, he said "just a feeling". What is particularly cool about these knuckles are the traditional anchor and horseshoe standing in for the letters "T" and "U", respectively.
These were inked by Russell Kelley at Silk City Tattoo in Hawthorne, New Jersey. Work from the shop has appeared multiple times before and can all be seen under Silk City's Tattoosday label here.
Thanks again to Markjames for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday!
