Anthony's Dragon (and more!)

I spotted Anthony on the N train in Brooklyn and was happy to see him also switching for the local R train at 59th Street.<br /><br />As luck would have it, both of us were headed home to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Ridge,_Brooklyn">Bay Ridge</a>.<br /><br />Anthony has a bunch of tattoos, and I snapped this photo of the dragon 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/AVvXsEijsi3Uzhpd2s6Lj6D7dpbMPFpEx99JXasdlvaxjTC2C-2aMzCFT3dPy3h-nGhIJR4jX9LncS1Y-ADLCcZFLLcx0QNOqIvhtjOC-2-d7OFfBb7nC4IJQ_-LQqEkapgaquZjpVgKBsuc/s1600/Anthony+dragon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsi3Uzhpd2s6Lj6D7dpbMPFpEx99JXasdlvaxjTC2C-2aMzCFT3dPy3h-nGhIJR4jX9LncS1Y-ADLCcZFLLcx0QNOqIvhtjOC-2-d7OFfBb7nC4IJQ_-LQqEkapgaquZjpVgKBsuc/s640/Anthony+dragon.jpg" width="362" /></a></div><br />It was inked by Joe at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brooklyninktattoo">Brooklyn Ink</a>.<br /><br />He estimated that the work so far has been completed in about three two-hour sessions.<br /><br />Work from Joe and other artists at Brooklyn Ink has previously appeared quite frequently on Tattoosday (all posts tagged as such <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/search/label/Brooklyn%20Ink">here</a>).<br /><br />Anthony later emailed me photos of these shots as well:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFiSlr02aM56j-FyvERh2VlZBd1Dlu5C2zyV049upXe3XN1FUAfd5Pdwm2lpcYDy4mcP9HgxhGxFE_L6tN5ac2XZuS4gtK6YeAXETyf4XvBuqOFpmRh6RNvn2D9bOTNGF1ljkQdTw/s1600/anthony+forgive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFiSlr02aM56j-FyvERh2VlZBd1Dlu5C2zyV049upXe3XN1FUAfd5Pdwm2lpcYDy4mcP9HgxhGxFE_L6tN5ac2XZuS4gtK6YeAXETyf4XvBuqOFpmRh6RNvn2D9bOTNGF1ljkQdTw/s400/anthony+forgive.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5DrGZxhEp2LS7WqGdQ5q1GZxGdB464CsEuLXQ5f0HyAeFTJKt_z9Vgb7S1k_ihwrXCVSuu53YnpF0fbYME9T8Nk6eLt_9UEzlT7kTKmZKTPsq2XKyu8JXyfkvcPxCL6LrGZuMAte/s1600/anthony+tribal+sun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5DrGZxhEp2LS7WqGdQ5q1GZxGdB464CsEuLXQ5f0HyAeFTJKt_z9Vgb7S1k_ihwrXCVSuu53YnpF0fbYME9T8Nk6eLt_9UEzlT7kTKmZKTPsq2XKyu8JXyfkvcPxCL6LrGZuMAte/s320/anthony+tribal+sun.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />The praying hands holding the rosary, I recall him telling me, were tattooed at Distinction Ink in Brooklyn. The tattoo reads "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned".<br /><br />He did not tell me where he had this tribal sun done, but it's definitely an attention-grabbing piece and certainly worth a mention.<br /><br />Thanks to Anthony for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
