All my posts since Sunday (with the exception of Friday) recapped the show and some of the folks I met.<br /><br />On Wednesday, I swung by <a href="http://kingsavenuetattoo.com/">Kings Ave NYC</a> on the Bowery after work and met one of the greats in the tattoo community, <a href="http://www.sixfeetunder.com/">Corey Miller</a>. When I asked him if it would be too dorky to ask to take a picture with him, he said, "Of course, it's dorky, but I love that shit."

Ink</a>, last season we saw a subplot in an episode in which Corey designed the album art for his friend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trever_Keith">Trever Kieth's</a> band <a href="http://www.facetofacemusic.com/">Face to Face</a>.<br /><br />As it happened, this past week the album dropped, and Face to Face had a gig in Times Square. Corey came along for the ride, and joined the band at Kings Avenue NYC to sign posters, singles, magazines, and other goodies.<br /><br />Corey and the band signed the poster featuring the original album artwork<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVjZhk50NJiZ7jaa_-cW4JXm2GCExqBCgJEv5_U9VFHQwZbfNodC5zA9mRwP1hw8bumGeF7_TVFAxGth7MyodeILkU6-nPZUucRtv1THBo5_k_l19UWSUoUPGxBJRUvROSYxpJbC1c9k/s1600/Face+to+Face+Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVjZhk50NJiZ7jaa_-cW4JXm2GCExqBCgJEv5_U9VFHQwZbfNodC5zA9mRwP1hw8bumGeF7_TVFAxGth7MyodeILkU6-nPZUucRtv1THBo5_k_l19UWSUoUPGxBJRUvROSYxpJbC1c9k/s400/Face+to+Face+Poster.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><br /><br />and the single they produced with <a href="http://www.riseagainst.com/events/">Rise Against</a>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvP7yZ02FpsEo5aux0rC0Ww5BbbURB6J9VvIa7CcKFAMP0JYKyLIm1eM7A52d2zhrspTQZ8j8zc8raKNjlWeDEw4Z2N0NGv2vewpKlaUxRr0z1V0rKfEXaCelhZ48huxkQKQV8jGbdeo/s1600/108_1101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvP7yZ02FpsEo5aux0rC0Ww5BbbURB6J9VvIa7CcKFAMP0JYKyLIm1eM7A52d2zhrspTQZ8j8zc8raKNjlWeDEw4Z2N0NGv2vewpKlaUxRr0z1V0rKfEXaCelhZ48huxkQKQV8jGbdeo/s320/108_1101.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />I'm not holding my breath, but I did give out Tattoosday cards to the guys in the band (and to Corey, of course) and asked them to contact me if they wanted to share some of their ink on a future Musician Monday feature.

She shared this one, which jumped out at me from across the room:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7tlAxPt1MIEeodCEZATow97RbX5ID3KLxnghSTZjlKRqCZiDIjiLuM3_qpLqMCMaMRj_OMJe-FkK-QRlzwaj1DI2ijtLCDA6Phfgm46CdCWJs3ZXLVEjqKenM-l7QsXNtJ5ytbcV88m0/s1600/Birdhouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7tlAxPt1MIEeodCEZATow97RbX5ID3KLxnghSTZjlKRqCZiDIjiLuM3_qpLqMCMaMRj_OMJe-FkK-QRlzwaj1DI2ijtLCDA6Phfgm46CdCWJs3ZXLVEjqKenM-l7QsXNtJ5ytbcV88m0/s640/Birdhouse.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br />I had a nice time chatting with Kathryn who referred to her approximately 18 tattoos as a "patchwork" collection, with each tattoo marking a different occasion and/or the places she has been. I totally related to that, although she certainly has a lot more ink than I do.<br /><br />This birdhouse was the first tattoo she got after moving to Philadelphia. It represents a look back to home. Although the house is not modeled after the building where she lived, it's the same color as her former home, and she associates it with her leaving the nest for the big city.<br /><br />This piece, on her inner right forearm, is credited to Topper at <a href="http://philadelphiaeddiestattoo.com/">Philadelphia Eddie's</a>.<br /><br />Do note I framed the photo so you can see two of the five cherry bombs she had tattooed on her left arm when she turned eighteen. She noted that these bombs were a "loose" reference to the graffiti artist <a href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Banksy</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Kathryn for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}</style> <![endif]--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

He estimated that the half-sleeve, which circles the whole arm, represents about 30 hours of work.<br /><br />He praised the work of Agent at <a href="http://www.screaminink.com/">Screamin' Ink Tattoos</a> in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. For those familiar with our annual NYC Tattoo Convention recaps, Screamin' Ink was the shop that featured my favorite tattoo from last year (revisit it <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/dispatch-from-nyc-tattoo-convention.html">here</a>).<br /><br />Thanks to Steve for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}</style> <![endif]--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

The biggest and brightest tattoo this year for me, was this stunning work of art on Jessica:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKU83hPixFGht9isPNLDFo-wIxzAXax_aYlZVHqlRlL6NfZcCtIfi6QfsEuVAGn7Sbl4rWgax6iLCXpnw37NF7gGggly3oALNAWTjuG91wy-5MOqLexDVZZxdU09WeRO38jJ7euqK-yg/s1600/Jessica+princess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKU83hPixFGht9isPNLDFo-wIxzAXax_aYlZVHqlRlL6NfZcCtIfi6QfsEuVAGn7Sbl4rWgax6iLCXpnw37NF7gGggly3oALNAWTjuG91wy-5MOqLexDVZZxdU09WeRO38jJ7euqK-yg/s640/Jessica+princess.jpg" width="468" /></a></div><br />This beautiful piece was inked by <a href="http://nowornevertattoos.com/?page_id=23">Echo</a> at <a href="http://nowornevertattoos.com/">Now or Never Tattoos & Body Works</a> in Staten Island, New York.<br /><br />Jessica estimates that this piece took 11 hours to complete and added that there may, in the future, be more coming. "We have to fill it in the bottom and the top with a whole bunch of more flower work," she told me, but for the most part, this is complete. <br /><br />When I asked what the origin of the piece was, she told me " I had a lotus flower on my lower back, so he [Echo] expanded it to a Tibetan princess." <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1kYpyQiyjMw6GQs_wmS9r9-uFd6R0f71tSyvF5OwmorpeGyjp5TAsy2vlXO80ib0nLR7BqepFuThK1Orsf02dsAePg1WuYdJHnt18Fh9QVrWECFpRziZpqdeEeTjBmCCiP4QjHJI4O0M/s1600/Jessica+princess+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1kYpyQiyjMw6GQs_wmS9r9-uFd6R0f71tSyvF5OwmorpeGyjp5TAsy2vlXO80ib0nLR7BqepFuThK1Orsf02dsAePg1WuYdJHnt18Fh9QVrWECFpRziZpqdeEeTjBmCCiP4QjHJI4O0M/s400/Jessica+princess+detail.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br />As for the inspiration for the piece, Jessica explained, "I had a friend of mine pass away who was Tibetan, so that's kind of where the whole meaning came from."<br /><br />As you would imagine, this piece was garnering a lot of attention from photographers and other convention attendees. I was thrilled to speak to Jessica about the tattoo and thank her profusely for taking the time to speak with me and share her Tibetan princess with us here on Tattoosday.<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

This was my third trip to the show, and each year, I have a different experience, as Tattoosday has evolved as a site (read about 2009 <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/05/dispatch-from-new-york-city-tattoo.html">here</a> and 2010 <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/dispatch-from-nyc-tattoo-convention.html">here</a>).<br /><br />In years past, I have only highlighted one or two pieces, as I go into sensory overload. What, outside of a convention's setting, would normally pique my interest, seems commonplace and ordinary. This year, however, I took many more photos, and actually interviewed four people, so this will be Convention Recap Week.<br /><br />I do want to say the best part of the show was hanging and chatting with Marisa and Brian from <a href="http://www.needlesandsins.com/">Needles and Sins</a>, as well as with Nathan from <a href="http://www.knuckletattoos.com/">Knuckle Tattoos</a>. It's not a portrait of future world domination, yet, but here's the three of us, masterminds of three of the best tattoo sites around, and hands and above, the best three inkbloggers at the show:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrAyQZplCh-Gnq81bS6d1Zx5f4d69CQEP7a5r78gTfzCZsd2B7ytGjyNc98n6PneNb1qEKb4Tm5iqgWZywiC1pWSqfmQD0KJHgykVccZzDeARKYdP18ATWL6GZVwRLC1zVCio3m2y7nI/s1600/Three+Bloggers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrAyQZplCh-Gnq81bS6d1Zx5f4d69CQEP7a5r78gTfzCZsd2B7ytGjyNc98n6PneNb1qEKb4Tm5iqgWZywiC1pWSqfmQD0KJHgykVccZzDeARKYdP18ATWL6GZVwRLC1zVCio3m2y7nI/s400/Three+Bloggers.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nathan, Marisa and Me (photo by Brian Grosz)</td></tr></tbody></table>That moment of self-adulation aside, I spent the first few hours talking to vendors about advertising, chatting with colleagues, and saying hello to people I've met in years past, like <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/dispatch-from-nyc-tattoo-convention.html">Greg</a> who was the high point of last year's show for me.<br /><br />I also like to introduce myself to artists whose work has appeared on the Site before, so I said hi to <a href="http://rosenthaltattoo.com/">Adam Rosenthal</a> of <a href="http://www.thinktanktattoo.com/">Th'Ink Tank</a> in Denver, and <a href="http://www.tattoosbyvinny.com/Tattoos_by_Vinny/Welcome.html">Vinny Romanelli</a> at <a href="http://redrockettattoo.com/">Red Rocket</a> in NYC.<br /><br />I also took a slew of photos of people I didn't interview, so I will just throw them up here. Unfortunately I can't credit any of the amazing artists responsible. However, if you see your work here, shoot me an email and I can give you your proper due. Many of these shots were taken during the first round of the contest, which centered around black and gray work:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We featured work by Grez <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/07/masons-gypsy-with-new-orleans-twist.html">here</a>. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://briangrosz.com/kingsave/LOGO_kingsavenuenyc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://briangrosz.com/kingsave/LOGO_kingsavenuenyc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Nonetheless, their shop, located out in Massapequa on Long Island, has a sterling reputation, and I know at least one loyal client, <a href="http://www.briangrosz.com/">Brian Grosz</a>, over at <a href="http://www.needlesandsins.com/">Needles & Sins</a>, who sings high praise to the shop owner and artist extraordinaire, Mike Rubendall. <br /><br />It was from Brian that I first learned that Kings Avenue was opening a new location here in New York City. Lucky for those of us here in the Five Boroughs who don’t have cars!<br /><br />We here at Tattoosday want to help spread the word about the new location, in Manhattan on the Bowery (188 Bowery, at Spring Street) to be more exact. Located on the second floor, the new shop location will be open Monday - Saturday 12-9 and Sundays from 12-6).<br /><br />In fact, Kings Ave NYC would like to cordially invite you to join in the celebration of the opening of their Manhattan location tomorrow, Thursday, May 12th, at 8:00 p.m. Please join the Kings Ave crew for drinks, friends and family for this proud moment for their shop, and for the addition of some great talent to our teeming metropolis.<br /><br />And to generate a little more buzz, we put our collective heads together and came up with an idea where one of our lucky Tattoosday readers can win a cool Kings Avenue Tattoo original t-shirt, like this one, perhaps:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTFPeo2_WIl4BK024M30EUhQCyaMAAj3zLqaqBXXCEZVp1wF5lt72KkcviaTOYj283k12DrAQizDsz08UniBDYNrLRu6WN7HRxW8B3hQWdYkVUEjDlNR9qaMx4SzZlKmT1-V7CdkbQso/s1600/birds-eye_th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTFPeo2_WIl4BK024M30EUhQCyaMAAj3zLqaqBXXCEZVp1wF5lt72KkcviaTOYj283k12DrAQizDsz08UniBDYNrLRu6WN7HRxW8B3hQWdYkVUEjDlNR9qaMx4SzZlKmT1-V7CdkbQso/s320/birds-eye_th.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />All you have to do is head on over to <a href="http://kingsavenuetattoo.com/pages/artists.html">their site</a> and check out the merchandise <a href="http://kingsavenuetattoo.com/pages/i_store.html">here</a>. Then, in the comments section of this post, tell us which shirt design you like best and why you deserve to win it. Please note, if you don’t have a blogger ID that links you to an email where I can contact you if you win, make sure you e-mail <b>tattoosdaycontests@gmail.com</b> as well so we can notify you if you win.<br /><br />And, dear readers, while checking out those shirts, you’ll be losing out if you don’t check out the Kings Ave site, clink on the “Artists” tab, and then get lost in the hundreds of photos of top-notch tattoo art from Mike Rubendall, Grez, Justin Weatherholtz, Brian Paul, and Matt Beckerich. Not to mention the shots from such illustrious guest artists like Chris O’Donnell, Tim Hendricks, and Kat Von D, to name only a few.<br /><br />We here at Tattoosday welcome the newest branch of Kings Avenue into our fair city and hope this means we’ll be seeing a lot more of their phenomenal work on the streets and, subsequently, here on the site!<br /><br />More about Kings Avenue NYC:<br /><br /><br /><a name='more'></a>KINGS AVENUE NYC was founded by tattooist and international award-winner, MIKE RUBENDALL, with his associate, GREZ, a well-respected tattooist in his own right. While people have traveled from all over the world to visit their Long Island location for everything from a full-scale Japanese body-suit to a modestly-sized, classic nod to Americana flash, RUBENDALL explains that they opted to open a second shop on Bowery, "for the simple fact of wanting to be a part of the energy, life, and creativity that Manhattan possesses."<br /><br />KINGS AVENUE NYC will also feature the work of resident artists MATT BECKERICH, JUSTIN WEATHERHOLTZ, BRIAN PAUL, SHAUN NEL, KEVIN LEBLANC and SARAH SCHOR - a talented collective that has adorned the bodies of notables like actress EVAN RACHEL WOOD, hip-hop impresario DAMON DASH and rocker PETE WENTZ of FALL OUT BOY. The public can also expect to see guest appearances from renowned artists like CHRIS O'DONNELL, TIM HENDRICKS and Denmark's HENNING JORGENSON as well as "celebrity" tattooists such as CHRIS NUÑEZ (Miami Ink) and KAT VON D (L.A. Ink).<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}</style> <![endif]--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

We've decided to post tattoos from these talented folks on the first day of the work week, and call them "Musician Mondays."<br /><br />We got a sneak peek at our first Monday Musician yesterday, as we shared a couple of <a href="http://www.meaghanfarrellmusic.com/">Meaghan Farrell's</a> tattoos in recognition of mother's day. The tattoos she has honoring her grandmother (<a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-mothers-day-from-tattoosday.html">here</a>) are truly wonderful.<br /><br />I was fortunate to run into Meaghan, who loved sharing her ink with me. Her enthusiasm for body art was evident in her excitement. "My tattoos mean the world to me," she beamed, and added that "there is no greater commitment to art." Considering that a tattoo is a permanent installation on one's body, I totally understood what she meant.<br /><br />Aside from the two of Meghan's tattoos we posted yesterday, she shared a couple of more. Here's a wonderful piece on her left wrist that symbolizes her craft:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4QTw2xSTHt2BDUE5uqTol1t8mEKIVDAttchPas67k_9zx8HT_AMt_rdAnlZCupO3onPUge3N0EzODaTNtCI8AscZfCt1OIRejhDPexYlNRtVdKp0FHfyRqdlPqXO2y7Ty92mCI7lu2A/s1600/Meaghans+microphone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4QTw2xSTHt2BDUE5uqTol1t8mEKIVDAttchPas67k_9zx8HT_AMt_rdAnlZCupO3onPUge3N0EzODaTNtCI8AscZfCt1OIRejhDPexYlNRtVdKp0FHfyRqdlPqXO2y7Ty92mCI7lu2A/s400/Meaghans+microphone.jpg" width="313" /></a></div><br />Of course the central object in the tattoo is the old-style microphone. As a resident of Queens, she pointed out that the skyline of Manhattan that serves as the tattoo's background is inked from the perspective of her borough, looking west toward the city.<br /><br />Meaghan also shared this stunning monarch butterfly:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RJ2uR1vqD4NVsLb6luOXolbgkPtJ9taPGkLhIi327QF6OSsavGjGQ8sM14fiw_nh4clJ14zoCvrONvS1ZX4HGIw4NK9X-14nkagmZ34e9ZDad6WewAzPKlt30ASRTyOEPdHQ2YGDTqI/s1600/Meaghans+monarch_picnik.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RJ2uR1vqD4NVsLb6luOXolbgkPtJ9taPGkLhIi327QF6OSsavGjGQ8sM14fiw_nh4clJ14zoCvrONvS1ZX4HGIw4NK9X-14nkagmZ34e9ZDad6WewAzPKlt30ASRTyOEPdHQ2YGDTqI/s400/Meaghans+monarch_picnik.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Meaghan explained that the monarch represents her sister, who she spoke of with great admiration. She called her the "matriarch of the family" and acknowledged that she was a solid presence that, despite huge challenges (she was widowed, a single mother, and is now remarried to a man who is wheelchair-bound), she retains the strength and grace of a butterfly.<br /><br />I love how the artist created the shadow below the monarch's wings:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEKKCDY3itSUyxat5PJl32rKc102eQZiS3DJ2SL2aO0WNS5aPU02-X3DOi8byg6R2hjgCGw__jSkVfZDz16o2gyFG9zZtpRYbNIHebbUywFsnKZD1PI9fWNKSVw00-DAMm5dbyf53OV-I/s1600/Meaghans+monarch+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEKKCDY3itSUyxat5PJl32rKc102eQZiS3DJ2SL2aO0WNS5aPU02-X3DOi8byg6R2hjgCGw__jSkVfZDz16o2gyFG9zZtpRYbNIHebbUywFsnKZD1PI9fWNKSVw00-DAMm5dbyf53OV-I/s400/Meaghans+monarch+detail.jpg" width="368" /></a></div><br />Like the work we saw yesterday, the artist responsible for these tattoos is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/beansink">Mr. Beans</a>, at <a href="http://www.fatcattattoos.com/">Fat Cat Tattoos NYC</a> in Astoria, Queens.<br /><br />Meaghan is a singer and she shared her debut CD, "Waitress," with me and let me tell you, it's a wonderful album. She has a very distinct voice and her songs are well-written and catchy. You can visit her website <a href="http://www.meaghanfarrellmusic.com/">here</a> to listen to her songs and see where you can hear her perform. In fact, she has a show this coming Saturday, May 14th, at the <a href="http://www.ucloungenyc.com/">UC Lounge</a> in New York City.<br /><br />Check out her video for "Lost in My Life":<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="292" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EHNiP3cAZu0" width="460"></iframe><br /><br />Thanks again to Meaghan for sharing her music and tattoos with us here at Tattoosday! <br /><div style="text-align: center;">~</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

Turns out, Meaghan is a singer-songwriter with 15 tattoos, more of which will appear here tomorrow.<br /><br />One of the tattoos we talked about was this one on her inner right forearm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBo6ecs6hLs2KnzDYckK3VEfsswl92yignk14ZgtJJce3waAubRUMajMSCVYFT2d82usgYwicFtbbVFTUEKti4OiS0Ru1h9UEVfELtCwQftfxs-kRbrDKyhQKr15FR_xrUVzFJFN3_D0I/s1600/madge+alt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBo6ecs6hLs2KnzDYckK3VEfsswl92yignk14ZgtJJce3waAubRUMajMSCVYFT2d82usgYwicFtbbVFTUEKti4OiS0Ru1h9UEVfELtCwQftfxs-kRbrDKyhQKr15FR_xrUVzFJFN3_D0I/s400/madge+alt.jpg" width="350" /></a></div><br />Madge Gassaway was Meaghan's grandmother, who passed away when Meaghan was only nine. Madge, she told me, was a "strong, independent woman," who had a huge impact on her life.<br /><br />The quote, words of wisdom that have significant meaning for Meaghan, was worthy of inscribing them on her flesh.<br /><br />Of course, right after I left Meaghan I realized, I forgot to take a picture of the quote from her grandmother, and she kindly sent me one she took herself.<br /><br />In addition, Meaghan also has this stunning rose on her right shoulder:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2KfF7-RcRtAp99ZuhKC0OdxKdiUyHGrXvPAUr2E7Ogzlb33XouXEg24Uep-Bj_9d8XFZglg-iu4J_aN4NhO3hTnc56cf3SRVPNhZynwc5SdovDRlgw7Kn7hhwLzPNk3YTJ9fC2IUaHE/s1600/Meaghan%2527s+rose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2KfF7-RcRtAp99ZuhKC0OdxKdiUyHGrXvPAUr2E7Ogzlb33XouXEg24Uep-Bj_9d8XFZglg-iu4J_aN4NhO3hTnc56cf3SRVPNhZynwc5SdovDRlgw7Kn7hhwLzPNk3YTJ9fC2IUaHE/s400/Meaghan%2527s+rose.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><br />Meaghan explained that her grandmother had an amazing rose garden, and that this tattoo represents not only the memory of her.<br /><br />The artist responsible for these tattoos is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/beansink">Mr. Beans</a>, at <a href="http://www.fatcattattoos.com/">Fat Cat Tattoos NYC</a> in Astoria, Queens.<br /><br />Tune in tomorrow for two more of Meaghan's tattoos. I wanted to share these today in honor of mothers and grandmothers everywhere, who have such a great impact on all of our lives.<br /><br />Thanks to Meaghan for sharing her tattoos with us here at Tattoosday!
