NYC Tattoo Convention Spotlight: Jessica's Stunning Tibetan Back Piece

The last few years that I've attended the New York City Tattoo Convention, there's always been at least on person with a full back piece that captures my attention and, much to my enjoyment, agrees to share their work with us here at Tattoosday. The biggest and brightest tattoo this year for me, was this stunning work of art on Jessica:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdoxLfULAayvuGsi6ecRSgRl7dsapIHt7UXpsc8orFVUSsS4wf1pKe0ZTQqvwR5mP7UQ-GRbQwRjiNfqbRoJ0m8rIFlawRFF76BFt_XHueE6Dhgo-NFTyqMoVoW2hYoaS1IMqNWX2cYFE/s1600/Jessica+princess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdoxLfULAayvuGsi6ecRSgRl7dsapIHt7UXpsc8orFVUSsS4wf1pKe0ZTQqvwR5mP7UQ-GRbQwRjiNfqbRoJ0m8rIFlawRFF76BFt_XHueE6Dhgo-NFTyqMoVoW2hYoaS1IMqNWX2cYFE/s640/Jessica+princess.jpg" width="468" /></a></div><br />This beautiful piece was inked by <a href="http://nowornevertattoos.com/?page_id=23">Echo</a> at <a href="http://nowornevertattoos.com/">Now or Never Tattoos & Body Works</a> in Staten Island, New York.<br /><br />Jessica estimates that this piece took 11 hours to complete and added that there may, in the future, be more coming. "We have to fill it in the bottom and the top with a whole bunch of more flower work," she told me, but for the most part, this is complete. <br /><br />When I asked what the origin of the piece was, she told me " I had a lotus flower on my lower back, so he [Echo] expanded it to a Tibetan princess." <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOavqnrZZjsOfpu524b2IOCeMcon9eHObXWdj8GfZAD0Sww1ue3R9gYwCS7sVUCJbacSqprhB1UZoKE6kib5Dt0O2jSreNFevCAIh-_bV6FOtmgX9ZGZ210MrdlTYxcOAvGHALIi2mCU/s1600/Jessica+princess+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOavqnrZZjsOfpu524b2IOCeMcon9eHObXWdj8GfZAD0Sww1ue3R9gYwCS7sVUCJbacSqprhB1UZoKE6kib5Dt0O2jSreNFevCAIh-_bV6FOtmgX9ZGZ210MrdlTYxcOAvGHALIi2mCU/s400/Jessica+princess+detail.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br />As for the inspiration for the piece, Jessica explained, "I had a friend of mine pass away who was Tibetan, so that's kind of where the whole meaning came from."<br /><br />As you would imagine, this piece was garnering a lot of attention from photographers and other convention attendees. I was thrilled to speak to Jessica about the tattoo and thank her profusely for taking the time to speak with me and share her Tibetan princess with us here on Tattoosday.<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
