The Great Friday the 13th Tattoo Experiment
Long time readers of this blog may recall this event, when Friday the 13th fell on my wife Melanie's birthday.
I didn't get a Friday the 13th tattoo then, because we were celebrating for Melanie.
This month we have another Friday the 13th, and I'm itching for my own little celebratory tattoo.
But I want to include the Tattoosday community in this journey, and I want you to pay for it.
Wait, hear me out. I've placed a PayPal badge on Tattoosday for people to make donations. A Friday the 13th piece is only twenty bucks ($13 for the ink plus $7 for tip). I've already budgeted for my older daughter's
birthday on Saturday, so all my funds are tied up. But, in exchange for contributions, I'll trade power. Contributors will get to decide, within reason, what tattoo I will get and where I will get it.
So, assuming I get $20 in PayPal contributions today, whether it be $1 from 20 people, or $5 from 4 people, those patrons will have votes on what tattoo I get, and where.
Those who contribute receive a vote per dollar and will get to select the flash (which I will email to contributors and try to post on the blog from the shop). You also get to vote on which limb will receive the ink.
No face or neck tattoos, no designs of genitalia, but if you pay, you have a say. I'll get it, I'll report it and I'll share it.
So, if you're interested, click on the Donate button on the left and secure your vote(s) through PayPal contributions.
Think about it, if twenty of you contribute a dollar, you can participate cheaply in the inking of yours truly. If you don't contribute, and I don't achieve my funding goal, oh, what a boring day Friday will be for all of
us.
The primary purpose of this experiment is to see if it will work. If anyone out there is interested in seeing this work, please help out.
Any questions, feel free to e-mail me or post them in the comments section.
Thank you,
Bill

Jack Kerouac Back
This is an orphan post, what I refer to as a photo with no real story attached to it, as the individual who let me take the photo, never e-mailed me with any further details.
I shot the picture at the end of the Brooklyn Cyclones-Staten Island Yankees game at MCU Park in Coney Island.
The crowd was filing out, so a protracted conversation was not an option.
The woman who belongs to this tattoo, however, did allow me to take the photo and said it was a quote from Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
It's a slightly modified version of this phenomenal passage:
If you're reading this, Dear Contributor, please accept my thanks for allowing us to enjoy your tattoo here on Tattoosday, but contact me, please, to tell us more.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Cherub Tattoos
If you are searching for a cute tattoo idea, look no further because this picture gallery holds some of the cutest cherub tattoos around.
A little history tells us that cherubs are divine beings in the Bible, described by the prophet Ezekiel as a combination of living creatures, with each possessing four faces, including that of a lion, an ox, an eagle and a man, plus they are said to have hands of a man, the feet of a calf and four wings.
Despite this detailed description by the prophet Ezekiel, modern day cherubs are commonly depicted as small angel babies with wings and pudgy faces.
Enjoy this collection of cute modern day cherub angel tattoos.

Most cherub tattoos are very pleasant and heavenly, however some mix elements of darkness.

Cherub tattoos go hand in hand with other designs such as flowers, clouds and instruments.

Some believe that cherubs are heavenly messengers meant to travel between this world and heaven. Plus these tattoos are often located on the back and hip area.

Jarrod's Multicultural Demon Sleeve
When I met Jarrod last month in Penn Station, he was happy to share what he called his Demon Sleeve.
It currently has a Viking Demon:
And a Hannya mask, representing a demonic figure from Japanese theater.
He hopes to add an Aztec demon, as well.
Both tattoos were done by Pepe at The Tattoo Shop, in Medford, NY.
Thanks to Jarrod for sharing his ink with us here on Tattoosday!
