Edwardo's Lady of Guadalupe

Yesterday I met Edwardo outside of Federal Hall in lower Manhattan, and he shared this tattoo on his right forearm:

Edwardo explained that this is Our Lady of Guadalupe (click on the tag at the end of the post to see other similar tattoos we have featured over the years).

He added that this was a cover-up - there had originally been an M-16 inked on his arm, and he joked, if you look carefully, you can barely make out the rifle peeking out from Guadalupe's skirt.

Edwardo credited the work to Brazilian artist J.P, Rodrigues (@jprodriguesnyc) from Acqua Santa Tattoo (@acquasantanyc) in Manhattan.

Thanks to Edwardo for sharing his beautiful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Our Lady of Guadalupe on Marco by Mariza

A couple weeks ago I met Mariza and Marco and walking down Broadway in the Financial District,

The couple was visiting from Portugal and, as it turns out, Mariza is one of the artist-proprietors at Ink & Wheels, a tattoo and motorcycle establishment in Lisbon.

Marco shared a tattoo that Maritza had done on his inner arm earlier this year:

Mariza told me she is always busy and rarely has time to tattoo her boyfriend.

However, Marco explained, the shop was closed for Good Friday, so she finally had some time to tattoo him. Given the holiday, it seemed appropriate to get Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Thanks to Mariza and Marco for pausing during their trip to New York City and sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
