Maria's Tribute to Oz and a Floral Flourish

Earlier this month I met a couple from the United Kingdom, sitting on the steps of Federal Hall in lower Manhattan.
They both had a lot of ink and I'm splitting their work into two posts, one today and one tomorrow.
Maria and Mark were visiting from Norwich, England.

Maria shared first, starting with this cool Wizard of Oz tattoo on her calf:

When I asked Maria what motivated her to get this tattoo, she replied, "I'm a massive Wizard of Oz fan, a big geek."
I then took a couple of shots of this stunning floral piece that ran from her upper left arm across her upper back, flowering with orchids (which Maria loves), plumeria and hummingbirds:

All of her work is by Fidel "SkullSugar" Quiñones at Lucky 13 Tattoo n Norwich.

Thanks to maria for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday! Be sure to check back tomorrow to see Mark's work, also by SkullSugar!

Taylor's Colorful Thigh (Tattoosday at the NYC Urban Tattoo Convention)

I posted last month about attending the 4th Annual New York City Tattoo Convention here.

I wanted to share some of the amazing tattoos I saw there, starting with this one, on the left thigh of Taylor:

Here's another angle:

Taylor credited this colorful hummingbird to the artist Richard "Made Rich" Parker at Think Before You Ink in Long Island City. Made Rich is currently vying for the title of Ink Master on the show's third season.

Taylor said that Made Rich free-handed the drawing directly onto her skin, and that it took four sessions, because, as she put it, she was a "cry-baby."

This tattoo was one of the highlights of the convention for me, and I am happy Taylor allowed me to share it here on Tattoosday! Thanks, Taylor!
