I stopped Tony and Emily, an Australian couple, as they were crossing 33rd Street near Eighth Avenue late last month. No offense to Tony, but Emily's half-sleeve really jumped out at me from across the street, so I was thrilled when they agreed to stop and talk tattoos with me.
First, here's a collage of Emily's upper right arm:
Emily explained she wanted a colorful tattoo, and she loves fruit, so this was the path she chose. What I like is that, since she is Australian, we get some more exotic fruit here, like dragon fruit and passion fruit in the culinary collage.
This is one of seven tattoos Emily has and was inked by Josh Plum at
Yakuza Tattoo in Sydney, Australia.
When I showed the photos to my wife, Melanie, she wanted to know more. Aside from being colorful, why the fruit basket? I e-mailed Tony and he sent the following reply:
"...She said she wanted fruit for a few other reasons other than colourfullness....1) she is really into nutrition and a healthy living style; 2) she had never seen anybody else with a fruit basket tattoo; 3) fish, flowers, etc. are way too common (which is true when you think about it, everyone has koi fish..."
Speaking of Tony, let's not forget him. He had nine tattoos when I met him. He may have another now from New York, I'm not sure. SO, of course I asked him if he would share, as well. He offered up this rendition of
Bigfoot on his right forearm:
This tattoo was the artist's rendering of Bigfoot, as interpreted by
Sanchez at
Steel Lotus Body Arts in Darlinghurst, in Eastern Sydney.
Why Bigfoot? Tony is a huge fan of
cryptozoology.The tattoo took about four and a half hours to complete.
Thanks to both Tony and Emily for taking the time to share their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
