I met Liz last month on the West 4th Street platform as we were waiting for the D train.
She has six tattoos, including a really cool Brooklyn Bridge tattoo that she designed and, she proudly told me, Exene Cervenka once complimented her on.
The tattoo she shared with us, however, is this design of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, inked on her upper right arm:
The piece was modeled after the fossil displayed prominently in The American Museum of Natural History, where her brother had worked for a period of time. The tattoo is an homage to the time she spent there.
The tattoo was inked by Christopher Depinto aka The Ink Shrink at Shotsie's Tattoo in Wayne, New Jersey. Work from Shotsie's has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Liz for sharing her dinosaur tattoo with us here at Tattoosday!
