Marjo Shares an Amazing Lighthouse from the UK

Back in June, in Herald Square, I ran into a couple named Marjo and Jon, who were visiting from the UK. Both were tattooed, but it was the Marjo's half-sleeve that really brought down the house:

Marjo credited an artist named Sergi Besa at a shop called Nine, in Brighton, with this amazing tattoo work.

At the inner part of the upper arm near the shoulder, is an amazing compass rose:

I only wish the sun had not been so bright, as it washed out some of the color in my photos.

Marjo explained that she had the original concept for the tattoo and Sergi did the rest.

Truly a remarkable piece of work!

Thanks to Marjo for sharing her lighthouse sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!

Christina's Owl and Lighthouse

I met Christina one day after work while walking outside of Madison Square Garden.

She had this incredible tattoo, which she gladly shared with us here on Tattoosday:

This tattoo that covers her upper left arm was actually done in two segments by artist Orrin Hurley, who currently tattoos at Dare Devil Tattoo in Manhattan.

As for the source material behind this beautiful tattoo, Christina chose a piece of art by Frances Olive Esme Eve:

A closer look at the tattooed owl shows how it was changed, but you can still see that there is still a lot from the original design:

The lighthouse was inspired by the Portland Head Light on Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

Thanks to Christina for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday.
