Repost: Eddie Graces Egghead's Shoulder

For Halloween, I felt like re-posting a piece that appeared here back in November 2009. To date, this tattoo is in my Top 10 that has appeared on Tattoosday. Enjoy! And have a safe, happy Halloween!

I recently met a gentleman from England, along with his wife, as they were milling about outside of Madison Square Garden.

He referred to himself as "Egghead," I'm guessing due to his bald head. I first noticed the logo for the band Slayer on the back of his calf, along with several other interesting looking tattoos. He estimated he has about a dozen tattoos.

But, like the best Tattoosday stories, he shared this amazing tattoo on his right shoulder, hidden under a sweatshirt, which he pulled off so I could see it properly:

That's a phenomenal piece, courtesy of his artist Ben Boston at The Tattoo Studio in Bristol, England.

The tattoo is a likeness of Eddie, mascot for the band Iron Maiden, one of the premiere metal bands that came out of England in the late 1970's/early 1980's. I won't bore the reader with the catalog of my Iron Maiden fandom, but it certainly made the tattoo even that more wonderful for me.

I even had a nice chat with Egghead and his wife about concerts we had attended.

I thank Egghead for sharing this awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Mary's Call of the Wild

I met Mary outside of Penn Station on Seventh Avenue a couple weeks ago. She shared this tattoo on her right calf:

Mary explained:

"I got my wolf tattoo at some place on St. Mark's Place, I don't remember, I was drunk, after I read [The] Call of the Wild. I had broken my foot and they let me leave work early, so I went to a bar with my best friend and started drinking. And then, I was like, 'We should get tattoos' and she was like 'I'm gonna go home' and then ... she was like 'I'm not gettin' tattooed'. So we went to some shady tattoo shop where they let me run around without shoes on and drink beer like a crazy girl. And all I remember is him asking me if I like lavender and I said, 'yeah, I like lavender' and that was that."

Not your ideal tattoo story but, all things considered, this came out well.

Thanks to Mary for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Collin's Gypsy Snake and Time

I met Collin back in August in the middle of Broadway, between 35th and 35th Streets, sitting at one of those tables that New York City had installed in the middle of the street.

He had a lot of ink, and chose to share this section of his upper left arm:

This piece, a snake with a gypsy head, circling an alarm clock, was done by Grez at Kings Avenue Tattoo in Manhattan on the Bowery. We promoted the shop opening back in May here.

Collin explained the elements of this piece that curves around the arm:

"The clock represents when I was born ... the candle's my life, burning, it's the time I have left ... gypsies are usually known to be good luck ... the snake is for the fucked up parts of my life and the gypsy head is for the good parts of my life, you know, the future."

Collin explained that Grez initially was concerned about all of these elements combined into one piece. "At first he [Grez] thought it was going to be too much," Collin told me, "but it worked out and I'm happy with it."

The clock is particularly remarkable:

Grez's work has appeared on Tattoosday before, here and here. He's a great talent, and I'm always happy to stumble upon his work.

Thanks to Colin for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Choose A Hair Color

When you stop and think, is really the only two non-surgical ways that you can suddenly change appearance. You can get a new hairstyle fashion, or you can give a new hair color brand. Since it is impossible to glue the hair on the back of the saw, I suggest you dye your hair the next time you want to change something in your life.

Choose a color

Once you have decided to change the color of your hair, all you have to do is choose the color.

It goes without saying that you should choose a hair color that matches your skin tone and complexion. Because your hair is always going to be next to your face, the last thing you want or need to do is dye it a color that contrasts with your skin so you are always washed and bad.

The best way to determine whether a hair color that suits you is to keep the sample photo printed on the box next to your face and get the opinion of two or three different people.

If you want to go for something that is both brilliant and sexy, you must choose a shade of red hair color. One thing that is so great on the red hair is that there is a shade that works for almost all types of hair and complexion.

Longevity

Once you select a hair color, you must decide how long you want to live with his eyes. There are three basic types of hair dyes: those who immediately washed, semi-permanent is good for a dozen shampoos and permanent take several months to disappear.

The advantage of hair dyes that wash, and semi-permanent color is that if you choose a color and realize you hate it when it is in your hair, you do not have to wait long for change it. You can just wash it with water. Permanent dyes look good and usually come with a really good conditioner makes your hair soft and supple to the touch.

If you use permanent hair color, you have to wait eight days before the 21 new color.

Sue Shares a Werewolf by Deno

A couple months back, I ran into a woman during the afternoon rush hour in Penn Station who had this amazing tattoo on her right thigh:

Turns out her name was Sue Jeiven, and she is a tattoo artist at East River Tattoo in Brooklyn. More of Sue's work can be seen in East River's Flickr stream here.

This was her most recent tattoo (at the time) and was done by Deno, a visiting artist from Spain, who's Circus Tattoo in Madrid is a top-notch shop. The quality of this piece is phenomenal.

The beach is a nice place for many people, you can spend the summer on the beach, sunbathing and surfing. beauty of the beach is a symbol of happiness. If a beach holiday is a common thing, what if the beach should be a place to organize wedding receptions. waooow ..

I am going to discuss my article this time is about the wedding shoes you wear are suitable for a beach wedding. Yes, this is very useful and necessary to note the pair of simple beach wedding shoes, such as slip-ons that can be very easy to dust off the sand. This means that it stops the sand between your toes and be a nuisance for you. If you want ballerinas or high heels are not a problem. but that must be taken into consideration is to ensure that the shoes have a heel that high teralu, because it does not fit to walk along the beach.

One important thing to remember is your harmony with the dress that you use. Piliha to dress, choose a luxury, but avoid long dress because it is inconsistent with sandy beach.

Best Women's Shoes

When it comes to better, then, that the idea is something that most other diatara good. What are women's shoes are not only a good choice, but the best for your feet, your appearance, and even health. Choose the best you have to compare different products and you have to identify the strengths and weaknesses, so you can decide which is best for you.

Grunt

Stu's Sleeve in Progress

One of the drawbacks of approaching folks in Penn Station as I pass through after work is that, if they're waiting for a train, and their platform is called, they're off to the races. Sometimes people reach out to me after I've met them, but other times I don't hear from them again.

Such was the case with Stu, who shared the top part of his sleeve-in-progress:

Stu was able to tell me that his artist is Richie Calascibett at Starlight Tattoo in Rochelle Park, New Jersey.

I particularly love the blue flower and the way that Richie tattooed the wind into the design.

Thanks to Stu for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
