Danny's Incredible Tattoos
On occasion, I will wander from 7th Avenue to 8th Avenue, through the campus of F.I.T., hoping to spot some creative work. One of my first posts (documented here) featured tattoos from someone I met on that stretch of street.
Last month, I ran into Danny, who had several very nice tattoos.
First I took a picture of this hannya mask on his right forearm:
Then I snapped this photo of the tattoo above his right wrist:
This metal-plated heart represents Danny's emotional toughness, with a trace of sensitivity. In his words, "even if my heart is dead, it will still bleed".
I also took a photo of Danny's knuckles, which I wanted to post up on Knuckletattoos.com. However, since they're working on a six-month backlog, I thought I'd spare them the extra post and just share these here:
They read, of course, "HATE PAIN". This just represents what Danny was going through at the time he had his digits inked.
Initially, he had told me his back was done, but I didn't press him to show me the work. By the time I had taken pictures of his knuckles, I guess he felt comfortable enough to share this truly remarkable back piece:
All of his work was done by Thailand Mike at Scratch Tattoo in Elmhurst, Queens. He initially went to Mike for a cover-up on his back, providing just the central part of the design...
Danny visited from time to time for over a year, having elements of the back filled in. The demon head at the top of the back is particularly cool
and the dragon hovering above the wasitline is also impressive:
I rarely get to feature back pieces, as they have to be offered up by generous contributors, so when I see one, I am seldom disappointed.
Thanks again to Danny for sharing so much of his work with us here on Tattoosday!

Eddie Graces Egghead's Shoulder
I recently met a gentleman from England, along with his wife, as they were milling about outside of Madison Square Garden.
He referred to himself as "Egghead," I'm guessing due to his bald head. I first noticed the logo for the band Slayer on the back of his calf, along with several other interesting looking tattoos. He estimated he has about a dozen tattoos.
But, like the best Tattoosday stories, he shared this amazing tattoo on his right shoulder, hidden under a sweatshirt, which he pulled off so I could see it properly:
That's a phenomenal piece, courtesy of his artist Ben Boston at The Tattoo Studio in Bristol, England.
The tattoo is a likeness of Eddie, mascot for the band Iron Maiden, one of the premiere metal bands that came out of England in the late 1970's/early 1980's. I won't bore the reader with the catalog of my Iron Maiden fandom, but it certainly made the tattoo even that more wonderful for me.
I even had a nice chat with Egghead and his wife about concerts we had attended.
I thank Egghead for sharing this awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
