What is Tattoo Tuesday about?

March 5, 2013

This week, it is all about books. I like the variety – especially the bookworm tattoo at the bottom. It is a great positive take on finger tattoos. They don’t usually have such a positive message – but that is what Tattoo Tuesday is all about.

I am traveling this week, so tattoo Tuesday is an interesting interpretation of a map of the world.  I am actually here . . .

Right under the second little flamingo.  There was freezing fog at home this morning.  It was 84 degrees and sunny in Key West today.  Ahhh!

Daffodils yesterday, daffodils today, daffodil tattoos – I sense a theme . . .

The lyricwriter talks about the symbolism some attribute to daffodils and their depiction in tattoo art.

With a nod to the Super Bowl, this week’s Tattoo Tuesday features Ravens.  I am from Cleveland and here we have long memories, so the Ravens are definitely not my team. (See Cleveland Browns relocation controversy.)

I did, however, find some interesting tattoos that feature ravens, a bird that figures prominently in both Native American and European myth and folklore.

Thanks to Cynthia for this interesting story in the New Yorker about a historical perspective on women and tattoos.
