Three days in a row I ran into previous Tattoosday contributors in different locales.<br /><br />On Wednesday, I ran into <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/06/leynas-balloon-keeps-her-grounded.html">Leyna</a> at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square. I had first encountered her ink back in June fifteen blocks uptown coming out of Borders. I spotted her <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/06/leynas-balloon-keeps-her-grounded.html">hot air balloon tattoo</a> and had to say hi.<br /><br />Yesterday, after a Trader Joe's run for salsa, I saw <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/06/kats-mucha-tattoo-with-nod-to-lemony.html">Kat</a> getting on the F train, seven blocks from where I first spotted her.<br /><br />I know, I know, it's all in pretty close proximity. However, today I approached <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/mike-norma-share-some-of-their-ink.html">Mike</a> at the Penn Plaza Borders and knew, once the flicker of recognition crossed his face, that he was the same guy I had met in Brooklyn on 86th Street on April 4.<br /><br />If you don't recall their ink, click their names which will magically transport you to their original posts.

Shaina's Back Piece Blooms

A post-work errand had me walking down 6th Avenue to 23rd Street where, to my delight, I ran into Shaina, whose large back piece stopped me dead in my tracks. Lucky for me, and all of our Tattoosday readers, she had no problem sharing it with us here:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2BxNWi5W7_98FoIQ_OCb-Sz32zWMlPL8JzXP7LpAqRidTJJ2xrX5zFckaAS0EhlhPqn8D4J3s8OKJAf_i56XMmlHXyAf6tCACLVaUFrTkP0ByDwJKbQnG4a3_OfYbnKwI4Yd3TBmG/s1600/Shaina+Back+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2BxNWi5W7_98FoIQ_OCb-Sz32zWMlPL8JzXP7LpAqRidTJJ2xrX5zFckaAS0EhlhPqn8D4J3s8OKJAf_i56XMmlHXyAf6tCACLVaUFrTkP0ByDwJKbQnG4a3_OfYbnKwI4Yd3TBmG/s400/Shaina+Back+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />This piece is a cover-up (more on that later) and initially was born out of a desire for a large bunch of purple flowers. Shaina explained that, at six feet tall, her size can sometimes take the edge off of her feminine side. "I try as hard as I can to be girl-y," she said, and she embraced her floral design as "a sign of girliness".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs45eqL_VQzOzyDNJZUrUVBDg8pfqvHcIXy-Q3uZJCnOVeoyVjzYxUwQq9XJ8keukmuDgeC1jhgHu7UlQvGBKzH79ClJO_k5HSkHD65Ja4xyCpV-ooOryTAVubFNpGkTW5NA67r9mq/s1600/Shaina+Back+detail+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs45eqL_VQzOzyDNJZUrUVBDg8pfqvHcIXy-Q3uZJCnOVeoyVjzYxUwQq9XJ8keukmuDgeC1jhgHu7UlQvGBKzH79ClJO_k5HSkHD65Ja4xyCpV-ooOryTAVubFNpGkTW5NA67r9mq/s400/Shaina+Back+detail+wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />As time passed, the whole tattoo, which Shaina estimates was composed in five four-hour sessions totaling twenty hours, took on additional elements. When her grandmother passed away, she added a memorial line for her ("In Loving Memory of Eleanor Vespie) along with the red carnations, which were her favorite flowers.<br /><br />She later  added the additional memorial on her neck, for her cousin Tasha.<br /><br />The tattoo was created by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cliff_evans">Cliff Evans</a> at <a href="http://www.hellhoundmusic.com/fuzionink/">Fuzion Ink</a> in Norfolk, Virginia.<br /><br />Of course, I had to ask about the tattoo she covered up. Shaina looked at me, and I'll give her points for honesty, she confessed, the original tattoo had been a portrait of the Icelandic singer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk">Björk</a>.<br /><br />She looked at me. I looked at her. "Don't take this the wrong way," I cautioned her, but what would possess you to do that?" Shaina had good humor about it. Like a lot of eighteen-year olds, what seemed cool at the time, in retrospect seemed ill-chosen.
