Orphans: A Native-American Sleeve on Seventh Avenue

A few weeks ago, I was walking up Seventh Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets, when I spotted this peeking out of a guy's shirt sleeve:

I stopped to ask him about the tattoo. Or rather, asked him if I could take a picture, when he revealed that it was much larger than it appeared poking out of the sleeve on his left arm:

Sadly, I gave him the Tattoosday flier and asked him to e-mail me so we could discuss it further and he a) lost the flier or b) decided to forgo contacting me. So, I have no idea who he is, nor can I credit the artist, whose work is pretty darn impressive.

When this happens, I dub it an "orphan" post, but obviously, despite the lack of details, it's still worth sharing.

Thanks to the anonymous contributor who allowed me to take photos of this great tattoo and share it with us here on Tattoosday!

Amanda's Right Biceps

I met Amanda outside of Madison Square Garden in April and she graciously allowed me to pick from one of her estimated fourteen to fifteen tattoos.

I chose this piece on her inner right biceps:


This is part of a greater plan for her arm which has a "cowboys and Indians" theme.

This design, which fits the traditional "old school" style of tattoo, was inked by Christian Peters of The Devil's Rose Tattoo in Long Island. Work from Devil's Rose appeared previously here on Tattoosday.

Thanks to Amanda for sharing this old-school tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
