Tommy's Geisha

Last week I met Tommy, who has six tattoos, one of which he shared with us:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vIcopj3g5s0_2WMiMpLIE4w_ZsUIBwzxhEF95a3tOZdsj3hQr-5UKj_e_tk4ZlZWkaSEpvONz9xzULJ6VmNooHjD6ldm6ANvmfVw6MGb2zhEmZ7N9oD4fzSVnTaFIo3d-AaRfVc9/s1600/tommy's+geisha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vIcopj3g5s0_2WMiMpLIE4w_ZsUIBwzxhEF95a3tOZdsj3hQr-5UKj_e_tk4ZlZWkaSEpvONz9xzULJ6VmNooHjD6ldm6ANvmfVw6MGb2zhEmZ7N9oD4fzSVnTaFIo3d-AaRfVc9/s640/tommy's+geisha.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br />He brought three or four pictures into <a href="http://www.regnyc.com/">Regino Gonzales</a> when he was at <a href="http://www.inkstoptattoonyc.com/">Inkstop Tattoo</a> and he came up with this design. Regino is now at <a href="http://invisiblenyc.com/">Invisible NYC</a>.<br /><br />The line work took two and a half to three hours but he had to stop because, in Tommy's words, "I'm a bleeder". He came back after he healed for another two and a half hours of shading.<br /><br />Tommy had a lot of nice protrait work and this piece seemed to just jump off of his left arm.<br /><br />Regino's work has appeared previously on Tattoosday <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/06/mikes-tribute-to-his-thai-heritage.html">here</a> and <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2008/07/monas-pocket-watch-honors-her.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Tommy for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
