This amazing portrait graces the arm of Davinia Do Santo, a tattoo artist from Spain who was visiting New York City and doing a guest spot at White Rabbit Tattoo in the East Village.
She credits this portrait of Marlon Brando to Xavi García Boix, another artist from Valencia, Spain. This iconic image is of a young Brando in the film The Wild One.
When I stopped Davinia, she wasn't alone. Another young woman was accompanying her, and Davinia permitted me to photograph this tattoo, which she had done:
That's the legendary Billie Holiday.
You can check out more of Davinia's amazing work on her website here or on her Facebook page here.
Muchas gracias to Davinia Do Santo for sharing her work with us here on Tattoosday!
