J: srsly, this is the worst news of the day. it overshadows the death of patrick swayzee

M: or swazi as you called him earlier (via text message)
i don't really care about him. i'm not saying it's not sad, but apart from recognising the name, i don't really have much of a clue who he is. i am but a youngfag

J: i dont care either, i can't even think of anything i know him in, except dirty dancing :)

M: oh is he in that?
haven't seen it either. people go on about it all the time; i have assumed it's much the same as strictly ballroom, which i have seen and that about as much dancing as i can stand.

J: retro 80s people are in mourning, because they're gay

M: they are :)

nah umm the song among the living is sort of based on the stand by stephen king and in the miniseres they did, that's the dude that plays randall flagg, who is the walkin dude.

A Ship and An Owl Sail in from California

I ran into Lindsay and her friend Tessa as they were coming out of Penn Station last month.

Between them they have seventeen tattoos, many of which are fairly amazing. Lindsay shared two of her pieces with us here at Tattoosday.

First up is a traditional ship tattoo on the front of her upper left arm:


Aside from the aesthetics, and the nod to the classic style of traditional tattooing, Lindsay told me that this piece is a steady reminder for her to "stay the course" in her life.

It was inked by Shawn Phelps at Integrity Tattoo in Campbell, California.


The back of Lindsay's arm hosts this incredible owl tattoo:


Owl tattoos are a popular tattoo motif. I've mentioned before this great blog dedicated solely to Owl Tattoos. On the far side of her upper left arm, she says her owl, aside from its decorative strengths, "watches [her] back". This great tattoo was done by Karl Fisher at Tattoo 13 in Oakland, California.


I humbly thank Lindsay for sharing her a little bit of her body art with us here on Tattoosday!
