A few minutes after talking to Brian (here), I ran into Tony, a tattoo artist at Gotham City Tattoo in Bay Ridge.
Tony estimates he is 50% covered, so choosing a nice tattoo to offer up for Tattoosday was no easy task.
Until he showed me his inner left bicep:
This incredible work was done by Simone, a visiting artist from Como, Italy, who did a guest spot at Gotham.
Tony, who has been tattooing for six years, loves crows, and this piece certainly leaves little to be desired in terms of an amazing crow tattoo.
As a postscript, Tony also shared this little Mickey Mouse tattoo:
This was inked by Bill Blood (whose knuckle tattoos I wrote about here). Bill is another artist working at Gotham City Tattoo. It is evidence of a bet that Tony lost, the details of which, he felt would be inappropriate to share here.
Thanks to Tony for sharing a couple of his many tattoos here on Tattoosday!
