Robbie's Red Balloon, with a Nod to Seattle

Here it is December and I have all these loose ends, tattoos I photographed in the summer and, for some reason or other, never wrote about.<br /><br />One such example belongs to Robbie, who is originally from Seattle. I stopped to talk to him at the corner of 34th Street and 7th Avenue, and he was kind enough to share this tattoo on his upper right arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwxQAc68J7mbIC8nuXwcSj4fWDhD2_t4jnt15DuE_XFLcJWWuLGtIddEPaQbrEhUjqU-6jEb8OvEPcjyqLOV9sCbLyhH4Fp2SY1gWv7KIVnv5T4JKkdiG3sSXsbCnbvBfhoa8BaYaSaZY/s1600/red+balloon+collage+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwxQAc68J7mbIC8nuXwcSj4fWDhD2_t4jnt15DuE_XFLcJWWuLGtIddEPaQbrEhUjqU-6jEb8OvEPcjyqLOV9sCbLyhH4Fp2SY1gWv7KIVnv5T4JKkdiG3sSXsbCnbvBfhoa8BaYaSaZY/s640/red+balloon+collage+wm.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br />Robbie explained that the red balloon is a family reminder about his grandmother, and that in addition to his own tattoo, his mother, brother, cousin and aunt all have tattoos that contain a red balloon, as a nod to the family matriarch.<br /><br />The skyline depicted is punctuated by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Needle">Space Needle</a>, Seattle's most recognizable landmark. Robbie is from Washington State, and the addition of this famous structure to a metropolitan cluster of buildings, which includes a scaled-down replica of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building">Empire State Building</a> to its right, is a nod to his home town, while also recognizing New York City, his current home.<br /><br /><br />Robbie credited the tattoo to Liz at <a href="http://addictionnyc.fotki.com/tattoos/">Addiction NYC</a>, although he noted she tattoos somewhere out on Long Island now.<br /><br />Thanks to Robbie for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Mrs. Dirtbird's Wedding Tattoo

Yesterday we enjoyed seeing <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/11/introducingdirtbird.html">the neck tattoo</a> of a Missouri-based artist nicknamed "Dirtbird," as well as <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/11/introducingdirtbird.html">a piece</a> he had inked on his friend Shawn.<br /><br />In addition to meeting both Shawn and Dirtbird across the street from where I work, I also met Katie, who half-jokingly referred to herself as "Mrs. Dirtbird". She shared this tattoo with us:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcvxu9nZLEFLpqZiFB4gfWsFVGjA42FTLQuTIZ3fcUVYrBzLmOztcVLs1z2V53QBfO90jrCvsNu02iWJeAiBYx9EAjaEzKAL7J0wGB6pV4qdNOEk-nqR5gzXKFe1-VxzoJ35gpmnCefG0/s1600/Mrs+Dirt+Bird+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcvxu9nZLEFLpqZiFB4gfWsFVGjA42FTLQuTIZ3fcUVYrBzLmOztcVLs1z2V53QBfO90jrCvsNu02iWJeAiBYx9EAjaEzKAL7J0wGB6pV4qdNOEk-nqR5gzXKFe1-VxzoJ35gpmnCefG0/s400/Mrs+Dirt+Bird+wm.jpg" width="357" /></a></div><br />Katie explained that this is a wedding tattoo. The piece depicts a heart, comprised of a male and female bird, sewn together. Since she married Dirtbird, this seems like and appropriate expression of their matrimony.<br /><br />The tattoo was inked by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/angie2_bap">Becky "Pink Eye" Ashcraft</a>, who works with Dirtbird at <a href="http://www.punkteur.com/">Punkteur Tattoo</a> in Joplin, Missouri.<br /><br />Thanks to Katie for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
