Jenn's Robotic Tattoos, with a Hand-Mixer to Boot

Back in April, I passed Jenn in Penn Station and this tattoo stopped me in my tracks:


Jenn, who has eleven tattoos, explained that her work has a predominant robot theme. A lot of her work was done by Cyndi Lou at Squid & Whale Tattoo in Portland, Maine.

Speaking about the tattoo above, Jenn told me:
"It's the lucky cat but we doctored him up to have the robot armor and a lot of the metal work ... everything's made of metal to fit the theme. I needed some good luck two years ago, so we did it ... I really like the bright colors."
When I asked if the cat brought her good luck, she acknowledged that he did, "it's been a really good year, actually, a very successful year."

And then she was kind enough to share her chest piece, which features a mechanical heart:


And one last tattoo from Jenn is this hand mixer on her right forearm:


Jenn is a baker, and this ties into her vocation.

Thanks to Jenn for sharing these awesome tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Joe's Motto: Ora et Labora


Last September, at my dear friend Jill's wedding, I met Joe, who is the father of Kathy (Jill's step-mother).

There wasn't a lot of visible ink at the wedding, but when Kathy saw me at the reception, she yelled "Hey, Tattoosday!" and brought Joe over to see me.

He held out his wrists and I snapped the photo above.

It was a bit noisy at the reception, but he basically said that this was his motto. In Latin, Ora et Labora  mean "pray and work," and as Joe tells it, all he does is work and pray. The phrase is attributed to Saint Benedict.

Kathy concurs, "I will tell you that he does is work and pray ... or tell us to work and pray ... it really is quite a theme with him."

This was tattooed at Godspeed Tattoo in Breckenridge, Colorado. Joe got these words inked on his wrists a few years back, when he was in his early seventies. Who says cool tattoos are just for the youth?

Thanks to Joe for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
