Repost for Mother's Day! Sean's Tattoo

On this Mother's Day, we're celebrating with a beauty of a "Mom" tattoo from our archives, this post from 2011:

When I met Sean last month, he had several tattoos to choose from. We ended up selecting this piece, on his left wrist:

Granted, there's two tattoos in this photo, but I was fascinated by the pineapple and cherry tattoo. That's not something you see every day. Sean, who is a hairdresser from the Boston area, explained:

"My best friend Sandrine Schaefer is a performance artist ... she did work where she would use pineapples and cherries on her body, because they're also used as common meat garnishes. And her artwork is a lot about feminism and veganism."

Ms. Schaefer, whose website is here, is a prolific artist worth checking out.

The tattoo was inked by Lucky Matthews at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in the Jamaica Plain section of the greater Boston area.

As for the "Mom" tattoo, above it on the forearm, there is really no explanation needed, but I did want to credit the artist, Edwin Marquez at Regeneration Tattoo in Allston, Massachusetts.

Thanks to Sean for sharing his ink with us here on Tattoosday!

Bobby's Memorial for His Mother

Earlier this month, I went for a bike ride out to Coney Island and, while on the boardwalk, I stopped to introduce myself to a much-tattooed gentleman named Bobby (@thisfellow), who was out taking photos.

He offered up the following tattoo of his mother:

This is a memorial portrait of his mother. Simply put, Bobby told me, "I love the piece ... it is a classic photo of my mom when she was in her twenties."

Bobby credited the artist Legion Avegno (@legion_avegno) at Fallen Sparrow Tattoo Company (@fallensparrowtattoos) in Kissimmee, Florida.

Bobby's website, This Fellow, offers a glimpse into some of his other tattoos, as well.

Thanks to Bobby for sharing this lovely tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
