Tattoosday in Kentucky: Headphones at CVG

On my recent whirlwind trip to Kentucky, I spotted some interesting tattoos at CGY, also known as the <a href="http://www.cvgairport.com/">Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport</a>.<br /><br />Check this out:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Rh3_TAG__6wbsZuF7zRMqoCfAV318S7yT4DE9VBkIeBxLYI6bJwfKoIb0gaLeTd5REOvnpLbo5MUUchSScYx_8aS0C20d8k2w3_41GWhEkc0HVwPyKipNAIHz0hNUyAhMQKBaPWvc0Y/s1600/headphones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Rh3_TAG__6wbsZuF7zRMqoCfAV318S7yT4DE9VBkIeBxLYI6bJwfKoIb0gaLeTd5REOvnpLbo5MUUchSScYx_8aS0C20d8k2w3_41GWhEkc0HVwPyKipNAIHz0hNUyAhMQKBaPWvc0Y/s640/headphones.jpg" width="338" /></a></div><br />The young lady that was sporting these headphones, identified herself as "E" and has "ten or eleven" tattoos. She wanted headphones that looked like they were spray-painted on. Note the "drips" and spots of splattered paint.<br /><br />Unfortunately I didn't get much more information. She credited the artist "Slevin" at a shop on Main Street in Cincinnati. However, I can't seem to find any information on this artist or the shop she mentioned.<br /><br />Thanks to "E" for sharing this cool and super original headphones tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Tattoosday in Kentucky: Taylor's Owls

I don't travel too often, but last week, I had an overnight business trip to Covington, Kentucky. I was excited to do some inkspotting outside of New York, but the bustle of the airports and the late arrival on a rainy evening didn't bode well for early success.<br /><br />However, after my co-worker dropped me at the front of the hotel in Hebron, Kentucky, so I could get an early start on check in, he was a bit surprised to come in after parking the rental car to see me chatting with Taylor, the front desk representative, as she was unbuttoning her top shirt to share these tattoos with me:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDfKAFOb9RpjpX1ml2y-Pxf3UwyiBJcT4Yrknno5WbQxl-TBYNMh1qu2bdg_FlbVWSPWOAzF-O7KEqsAtbMY9mptSMLUsVTXTvDLICWo2cM1qo3jHA2SjCSBY81oXgc5kdxoS18EEUAkA/s1600/taylors+owls+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDfKAFOb9RpjpX1ml2y-Pxf3UwyiBJcT4Yrknno5WbQxl-TBYNMh1qu2bdg_FlbVWSPWOAzF-O7KEqsAtbMY9mptSMLUsVTXTvDLICWo2cM1qo3jHA2SjCSBY81oXgc5kdxoS18EEUAkA/s400/taylors+owls+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />While checking in, I had noticed a flaming diamond tattoo on Taylor's wrist and, after explaining a little about Tattoosday, she happily agreed to participate, showing me these two owls which she liked a lot more than her wrist tattoo.<br /><br />She explained that she got these after going through a rough time, and that she appreciated the symbolism of owls, and the wisdom they represent. The owl is often associated with the Greek goddess <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena">Athena</a>, who is often depicted with an owl perched on her shoulder.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjNyuQmN6o2WWBuCYCgIlM2FTPILxkcGWNnsl08gZsIDEo6c4Vra5jdvnEW2kZDKSRUErWbCn-FaIEZ28wRRA2LcOe7lSHhxi7HXDxSe9Cf6t7CU3UxUIoz18nRFHFMhy0BKch2DUkZFE/s1600/taylors+owls+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/AVvXsEjjNyuQmN6o2WWBuCYCgIlM2FTPILxkcGWNnsl08gZsIDEo6c4Vra5jdvnEW2kZDKSRUErWbCn-FaIEZ28wRRA2LcOe7lSHhxi7HXDxSe9Cf6t7CU3UxUIoz18nRFHFMhy0BKch2DUkZFE/s400/taylors+owls+detail+wm.jpg" width="355" /></a></div><br />Taylor had these tattooed at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artsink05">Arts Ink</a> in Covington, Kentucky, by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/boddhi333">Boddhi</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to Taylor for sharing her owls and welcoming me to Kentucky with some cool ink!
