More F-Holes For Your Friday

Earlier this month, I posted (here) about a young woman named Ariel who had F-Holes tattooed on her inner left forearm.

Last week in my local Staples, I met Brian, a musician and recording engineer, and he shared his similar, and much larger tattoo:


Brian didn't give me much more information (i.e. artist, shop, etc.), but I appreciate him allowing me to share these F-holes here on Tattoosday!

Cristine's 311 Tattoo

Back in June, I met Cristine out on Coney Island, during the Mermaid Parade.

She shared this tattoo:


Christine is a big fan of the band 311, so this was her tribute to the band she loves. Here's a closer look:


This was done by Miss D'Jo at Lark Tattoo in Westbury, New York. We've been lucky enough to have shared work by Miss D'Jo previously on Tattoosday here and here.

Thanks to Cristine for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Jared's Sleeve Reflects His Journey Through the Music Business

I met Jared back in April outside of Penn Station on Eighth Avenue. He had an interesting sleeve that he offered to share:


Jared explained that the concept of the sleeve was based on his experience in the music industry. He had been a musician, but gave up the professional calling "about six months ago." He elaborated:

"...It's a sacrificial piece ... the heart right there [at the center of the arm, in the ditch] ... music's in your DNA and it rips your heart open ...
... and the sacrifice you have to go through ... two faces are the two faces you had to deal with in the music business..."
The work above was done by two free-lance artists. The top section of the sleeve was done by a guy named Steve, and the bottom section with the two faces was done by another person whose name Jared doesn't recall.

Thanks to Jared for sharing this work with us here on Tattoosday!

Anthony and Evolver, Interpreting the Anatomy of Time

I spotted this unusual tattoo on the back of Anthony's arm in a Borders and just had to ask about it:


He explained that this image, called "Evolver," is his interpretation of the "anatomy of time". The design is from an album that Anthony's band, Dsciphire, recently released. Dsciphire is hard rock, infused with elements of funk, metal, and electro.

He credited a freelance tattoo artist named Oak Newbury out of Ft. Myers, Florida.

Thanks to Anthony for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
