Corey's Traditional Creatures

I met Corey and Jessica last month outside of Madison Square Garden on a bright, sunny afternoon. Between the two of them, they have dozens of tattoos, so I had a lovely time chatting with them. They're originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and had been tattooed by a couple of artists who are friends of theirs working out of <a href="http://www.perkinsroadparlour.com/">Perkins Road Parlor</a>.<br /><br />Corey credited Brent McCarron and Chris Handford with this pair of cool, traditional-style tattoos: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbl4KfP1UbGYtrqwRFZZBVA3RC5KWhkuwNPO8vQqO6d5IOvGVbkfoM8rcyXOMLDr3TcZ2rEDj05ibS1onDh07OdEWlvTwYrwJo3rf4Bz-Jh8lAIeI2rik2ogIBbHAKcHQyM3Z8j09gwuE/s1600/sabre+toothed+spider.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbl4KfP1UbGYtrqwRFZZBVA3RC5KWhkuwNPO8vQqO6d5IOvGVbkfoM8rcyXOMLDr3TcZ2rEDj05ibS1onDh07OdEWlvTwYrwJo3rf4Bz-Jh8lAIeI2rik2ogIBbHAKcHQyM3Z8j09gwuE/s400/sabre+toothed+spider.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Corey, who has 14 or 15 tattoos, just asked them to draw him something and they did.  This sabre-toothed tiger and his newest piece, the spider, about two weeks old in this photo, have a very traditional feel about them.

Three's Not a Crowd

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I met a trio of friends hanging out in Penn Station in early October, waiting for their train back to Rhode Island.<br /><br />I spotted Darius first, which was understandable, as he has seventeen tattoos. Kenny and Katie, his friends, each boasted a modest three tattoos apiece, and offered up theirs as well.<br /><br />Let's start with Darius, who has this traditional Mom and Sparrow tattoo on his forearm:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvOHtDccpoMlHfX4HeO8UcRkvMbndT_GB25Zw6hfuzm-qa3OG8ggtXEGehjsPX9Jki-zY0tmtEROeO2m9E9B9Kq9_KHSf8M6vueSfqwXXk03SF0OS6rr9i4jqtS7C9FZuCXknzjqQEfg/s1600/Mom+Sparrow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvOHtDccpoMlHfX4HeO8UcRkvMbndT_GB25Zw6hfuzm-qa3OG8ggtXEGehjsPX9Jki-zY0tmtEROeO2m9E9B9Kq9_KHSf8M6vueSfqwXXk03SF0OS6rr9i4jqtS7C9FZuCXknzjqQEfg/s640/Mom+Sparrow.jpg" width="434" /></a></div><br />He said that he and two other friends got the same tattoo.<br /><br />This was done by <a href="http://whiskeynotwater.com/home.html">Jae Audette</a> at <a href="http://mcinnistattoo.com/home.html">Mcinnis Tattoo Company</a>  in Providence, Rhode Island. Work from the shop appeared previously on the site <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Mcinnis%20Tattoo%20Company">here</a>.<br /><br />The other tattoo, on his bicep, is this set of brass knuckles that says "Knuckle Up":<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipE7rFmTHhlJnDBwfxiML-0r_A_Azi8HSJkuSu74fszji5ou1Qx9GniaPhT0j0hYuQ7u7X1n0vurUnK6hGP8Kzv25dpNtXX8j3z63-RG3tK0DvhcDjVHQOvMfhNNUUbQ3JBIDMXQZ4Kzs/s1600/knuckle+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipE7rFmTHhlJnDBwfxiML-0r_A_Azi8HSJkuSu74fszji5ou1Qx9GniaPhT0j0hYuQ7u7X1n0vurUnK6hGP8Kzv25dpNtXX8j3z63-RG3tK0DvhcDjVHQOvMfhNNUUbQ3JBIDMXQZ4Kzs/s400/knuckle+up.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />This was done by <a href="http://www.alteredimagestattoo.net/forrest.aspx">Forrest Curl</a> at <a href="http://www.alteredimagestattoo.net/">Altered Images Tattoo Studio</a> in Cumberland, Rhode Island.<br /><br />Also from Altered Images is this still-in-progress rib piece on Kenny:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjopSyD1d-E6Xiwgl49_yo24WW_g2EFKXeQ3nR9giK-lFMRvOGg5UqV1hBMy1B2ucufSVyUYcUC9Cx2pcP5PQEtNifw-ERSLPTpz8J8mmnKpu3hcyVc-9S1VCGQRpQ9NQ4ZyxCNWfKbWvM/s1600/Crimson+King.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjopSyD1d-E6Xiwgl49_yo24WW_g2EFKXeQ3nR9giK-lFMRvOGg5UqV1hBMy1B2ucufSVyUYcUC9Cx2pcP5PQEtNifw-ERSLPTpz8J8mmnKpu3hcyVc-9S1VCGQRpQ9NQ4ZyxCNWfKbWvM/s640/Crimson+King.jpg" width="278" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />This is a depiction of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_King">The Crimson King</a> from <a href="http://www.stephenking.com/index.html">Stephen King's</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Tower_%28series%29">Dark Tower Series</a>.

David's Traditional Hands

Last month I met David when I stopped after noticing his neck tattoo. However, it was his hands he offered up to us here at Tattoosday:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Yq7GGSvYMPN8utZpvGlSdcLGI6guxGUZHdZrTs5EwF4PYABMY8lfa90hrt9jtui6HsekTQKvaNUsjtCQTL0zcW3O6O43vRw27LoBN1OjMtFVUTWXCElW20uzDtPjzog2IKnGBoPj9ts/s1600/Davids+Hands+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Yq7GGSvYMPN8utZpvGlSdcLGI6guxGUZHdZrTs5EwF4PYABMY8lfa90hrt9jtui6HsekTQKvaNUsjtCQTL0zcW3O6O43vRw27LoBN1OjMtFVUTWXCElW20uzDtPjzog2IKnGBoPj9ts/s400/Davids+Hands+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />David works in construction and is a contractor. He also manages the band, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/DREW-NUGENT-THE-MIDNIGHT-SOCIETY/165439868308">Drew Nugent & the Midnight Society</a>.<br /><br />He has about thirty-five (35) hours of work done on his body, and he explained that these are traditional pieces on his hands.<br /><br />He was inspired to have his knuckles read "True Blue" as they speak to his belief that our country has lost its values that need to be regained. Key among these values are loyalty and honor, in the traditional, "true blue" sense of the words.<br /><br />To him, the panther represents that we need to fight to regain these ideals.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsW1s4JUKP3PwGuUFqOuHZXt2BvJsssXxvlTfDh6ERWZHU566zl46PEhPLf79RPI-ksaF6Jk7_npRFxjGKJzAZeKd4vzjX3fVZ9tJBg3bx2s7MbN1yQwt938Sasrnq-9c7Zj2ENKyVTQk/s1600/Davids+Hands+detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsW1s4JUKP3PwGuUFqOuHZXt2BvJsssXxvlTfDh6ERWZHU566zl46PEhPLf79RPI-ksaF6Jk7_npRFxjGKJzAZeKd4vzjX3fVZ9tJBg3bx2s7MbN1yQwt938Sasrnq-9c7Zj2ENKyVTQk/s400/Davids+Hands+detail+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />And the two roses represent the ideal (the healthy, red flower on the right hand) and what he called the "diminished," (on the left) that is, where we're headed with our loss of values.<br /><br />David embraced these traditional elements because he feels that "the only way to have a future is to look at the past".<br /><br />He had the panther done at a tattoo convention. The roses and "TRUE BLUE" knuckles are credited to Rick Meggison at <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/metalnips/about/">Marked 4 Life</a> in York, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />Thanks to David for sharing these very cool hand tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
