Hawai'i and Germany Meet Halfway in Manhattan

Last Sunday, I found myself unexpectedly in my weekday stomping grounds, outside of Penn Station. I saw a couple sitting on the steps in Penn Plaza and noticed the gentleman had a remarkable tattoo on his outer left calf.<br /><br />We had a slight language barrier, as they were tourists from Europe. But Rico agreed to let me take the photo:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRPuP_aSH13Xihx8CqEEq5T94dBkHX2MOFYH3yy245gvs5RG8sT4ktJHm8151B97NXr2hW2J0hXttNJXG5ir6tSQyMQ5YxpH3_YZIFuef1UDsGzgBQwC5NQFe6g8YmIwVQ_kAl_iSC/s1600/Hibiscus+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRPuP_aSH13Xihx8CqEEq5T94dBkHX2MOFYH3yy245gvs5RG8sT4ktJHm8151B97NXr2hW2J0hXttNJXG5ir6tSQyMQ5YxpH3_YZIFuef1UDsGzgBQwC5NQFe6g8YmIwVQ_kAl_iSC/s640/Hibiscus+wm.jpg" width="318" /></a></div><br />The tattoo was done by <a href="http://www.stechwerk.com/index.php5?p=gallery-tom">Tom</a> at <a href="http://www.stechwerk.com/index.php5?p=home">Stechwerk Tattoo Studio</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kempten_im_Allg%C3%A4u">Kempten</a>, Germany.<br /><br />Rico said he just liked the design and that Hawai'i is somewhere he hopes to visit one day. The surfboard and the archipelago outline are symbolic of our fiftieth state, and the yellow hibiscus is the state flower.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2RzV3XrDJRtPJhB80onSbQn0PGfhbKWoJMLJM9L4hV4iYkiNMJL_LongagMtiNx0vDyQ1qLRJnHK5vfhnoEsMMrVkOQtBk5TwCocLqzEFEaBf5EQUv7pOFCofuWpAa3Hz1fu6UePW/s1600/Hibiscus+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/AVvXsEj2RzV3XrDJRtPJhB80onSbQn0PGfhbKWoJMLJM9L4hV4iYkiNMJL_LongagMtiNx0vDyQ1qLRJnHK5vfhnoEsMMrVkOQtBk5TwCocLqzEFEaBf5EQUv7pOFCofuWpAa3Hz1fu6UePW/s400/Hibiscus+detail+wm.jpg" width="293" /></a></div><br /><i>Danke schön</i> to Rico for sharing this cool Hawai'i-themed tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
