Delissa Reveals a Little Bit of Monaco on Seventh Avenue

When I stopped Delissa on Seventh Avenue, she was on her way to Red Rocket Tattoo, for another session with Adam, who was working with her on this amazing half-sleeve piece:


This is one of those tattoos that, although not finished, was a joy to capture because the majority of it was done, and seeing it after a few more sessions will be fascinating.


Delissa is a big fan of the Art Nouveau style and this is based on Alphonse Mucha's 1897 lithograph "Monaco, Monte-Carlo":


Regular readers may recall that a Mucha-based tattoo appeared earlier in the summer, here.

Work from Red Rocket has appeared on Tattoosday previously here. A piece by Adam has appeared before here.

Thanks to Delissa for sharing this magnificent tattoo with us. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product when the work is complete!

Sarah Shoulders Her Slavic Heritage

A couple of weeks ago, I had a very productive Wednesday, speaking to five different people about their tattoos.

Sarah is the last of those five that I an posting, and was my favorite of the group that day.

This tattoo was her sixth (she has thirteen or fourteen) and is an homage to her Slavic heritage.

The piece is based on the poster for a 1921 art exposition put on by the Czech Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha at the Brooklyn Museum:


The piece, on her right shoulder was tattooed by Scott Budgen at Lady Luck Ink in Waterford, Michigan.

Thanks to Sarah for sharing this wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
