Jackie's Vintage Postcard

I caught up to Jackie after she passed me in Penn Station and I was delighted when she agreed to share her tattoo with us:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHsv6ugr0v_vqFa9DZ-YJSFxg_oRjJzPTYoUHCqkO1eKgQTTZZjH_Z8fiUMYA-6iRaQ8wmmvvJcc0rEbzaPEU1teP2K5R75PM9uBE-wEVbK1qezyzyPAauC9ZumXsQT8aDwEva-WFg/s1600/peacock+postcard+main+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHsv6ugr0v_vqFa9DZ-YJSFxg_oRjJzPTYoUHCqkO1eKgQTTZZjH_Z8fiUMYA-6iRaQ8wmmvvJcc0rEbzaPEU1teP2K5R75PM9uBE-wEVbK1qezyzyPAauC9ZumXsQT8aDwEva-WFg/s640/peacock+postcard+main+wm.jpg" width="204" /></a></div><br />It's a truly remarkable piece, and I was thrilled to hear it was tattooed by the amazingly talented <a href="http://amandawachobtattoo.com/">Amanda Wachob</a> at <a href="http://www.daredeviltattoo.com/">Dare Devil Tattoo</a> in New York City. She is well-known for an amazing eye for detail for tattoos that appear as if they were just painted on. I mean, look at this delicate touch on the back side of the piece:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh81k_cwq_gPn9q1ShPm4SdQJM9Y-dADCLMDVjJKCPk7SdLBY9ob_1HlyZJa6UTYkUnRbG_opxq1h8r8g1l6kiERty18TKOo1kWOaOsPjKfDchKYM3mNRVLQJVPdhhx-tvCsPOVuI9r/s1600/peacock+postcard+back+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh81k_cwq_gPn9q1ShPm4SdQJM9Y-dADCLMDVjJKCPk7SdLBY9ob_1HlyZJa6UTYkUnRbG_opxq1h8r8g1l6kiERty18TKOo1kWOaOsPjKfDchKYM3mNRVLQJVPdhhx-tvCsPOVuI9r/s640/peacock+postcard+back+wm.jpg" width="372" /></a></div><br />Jackie explained that the tattoo is inspired by art in a book of vintage, early 1900's postcards that she found from <a href="http://www.pleiadespress.com/pp/default.asp">Pleiades Press</a>. She credited S. Solomko as the artist who created the original piece which inspired this tattoo.<br /><br />She loved the vintage appearance of the original and Asked Amanda to recreate that feel.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU758fa2sbMUPOe-rG4jg069lSLQ0bcmRWUR72CH7sta9gJ_7pKlD7fni0UwSFwOj8wLkvneeVjIkLxGUqFDzp-1VXQdksVrr59ZqmYNpNBGnaX-T-M4TU07bydR-DDogIM2LRRv3I/s1600/peacock+postcard+head+detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU758fa2sbMUPOe-rG4jg069lSLQ0bcmRWUR72CH7sta9gJ_7pKlD7fni0UwSFwOj8wLkvneeVjIkLxGUqFDzp-1VXQdksVrr59ZqmYNpNBGnaX-T-M4TU07bydR-DDogIM2LRRv3I/s400/peacock+postcard+head+detail+wm.jpg" width="327" /></a></div><br />She also loves, from an artistic perspective, the female form, and the sensuality of the peacock feathers fanning out at the bottom of the tattoo. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYKJCy7Qx29Bl3uT_VPSz04bjQSIEAyfTozeOLwIZ1BnJa6-YRLKO640ae-HQjrI6m27Qj4ruQCUZ3B6D2bkX8qyLNn0uzQ1OIBU6fSaFRAEJ_FMmXnoI5S-NEOPw4faRZNN1kcmq6/s1600/peacock+postcard+bottom+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYKJCy7Qx29Bl3uT_VPSz04bjQSIEAyfTozeOLwIZ1BnJa6-YRLKO640ae-HQjrI6m27Qj4ruQCUZ3B6D2bkX8qyLNn0uzQ1OIBU6fSaFRAEJ_FMmXnoI5S-NEOPw4faRZNN1kcmq6/s640/peacock+postcard+bottom+wm.jpg" width="300" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Again, I can't help but marvel at Amanda's artistry and how she paints on a tattoo:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FvuG6lktnLYN4ljD3YokIP4MCgwuqSP4QhZImi1cZaNbllxT6ik6nrjAtlw8fOX6L5HZcD2ZxQgQjWBQxmtuHudKREO5c8QERmIdcscFEn-DUNrK22s6kUdFOhFkm9408A3uGLGq/s1600/peacock+postcard+bottom+detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FvuG6lktnLYN4ljD3YokIP4MCgwuqSP4QhZImi1cZaNbllxT6ik6nrjAtlw8fOX6L5HZcD2ZxQgQjWBQxmtuHudKREO5c8QERmIdcscFEn-DUNrK22s6kUdFOhFkm9408A3uGLGq/s400/peacock+postcard+bottom+detail+wm.jpg" width="343" /></a></div><br />Thanks again to Jackie for sharing her amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
