This will be the third Saturday in a row that I've posted links of a tattoo-related nature. No one's complained yet, so we'll keep doing this until we don't.
On Sunday, a few of us were watching a football game. The tattoo gag in one spot was one of the brighter moments of the advertising that broke out during the game:
Long live Goldblatt!
On Monday, I finally clicked on a Facebook link to a site called Angry Ink. I'd seen it a few times and figured, well, if everyone is sharing it, it must have some merit. Yeah, some. The post is called The Four Tattoos You Need to Stop Getting Right Now.
On Tuesday, I saw CBS New York's News list (here) of "NYC's 5 Best Tattoo Parlors". This ran originally last month and, like all lists, is subject to scrutiny. The fab five are all shops whose work I have featured here over the years, and I've been inked personally in two of the five, but it seems odd that perennial favorites like NY Adorned and East Side Ink were left off of the list.
Also on Tuesday, I was happy to see my friend Brian Grosz' article on the Daily Dot: Your Instagram Needs Some Ink: 8 Tattooists You Should be Following.
On Friday, I saw a post about Colin Kaepernick's new tattoo (here).
That's all for the links this week, everyone have fun at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention this weekend!

Juli's Right Calf: A Sugar Skull and More!
✓
Daisies,
Geoff Horn,
Glow in the Dark,
Guns N' Roses,
Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention,
Studio 33,
Sugar Skulls,
Traditional
Back in April, I met Juli, who hosts a dozen tattoos, and counting.
She offered up two pieces, both on her right calf.
First was this sugar skull, inked by Chris Strangebreu, who currently is working out of Studio 33 Tattoo on St. Mark's Place in Manhattan:
Always a fan of sugar skulls here on Tattoosday, I was glad that Juli was more than happy to share this tattoo. She pointed out that the flowers are Gerbera daisies ("my ultimate favorite flower ever") and that the eyes and the tips of the daisies have unusual accents. Chris used an ink known as "Japanese pink," which makes the specific areas of the piece glow in the dark.
The other tattoo Juli shared is part of what she envisions to be a larger piece that will wrap around her calf and thematically connect with the sugar skull:
This was done by Geoff Horn at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention.
I'm hoping that this won't be the last we see from Juli, and I thank her for sharing these great tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Jessica's Heart Flutters With Birds
Above, I mentioned a man with a heart on his outer left bicep.
Later that same day, I met Jessica on the R train.
A California transplant now living in Brooklyn, she had this beautiful heart done at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention:
It's your standard heart on the sleeve motif, but this piece is a little more biologically correct and features two small birds holding a ribbon up around it.
Jessica wasn't sure of the name of the artist on whom this work was based, but the end result was a tattoo that recalled the original piece, although not copying it.
This tattoo was inked in a little over an hour at the convention by Rick Lohm at Scarab Body Art Studio in Syracuse, New York.
Work from Scarab has appeared previously here on Tattoosday.
Thanks to Jessica for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
