The Eagle and the Parrot
We here at Tattoosday have been biding our time over the past week, a seven-day drought of posts to match the scarcity of ink visible in the Frozen Apple of a brittle New York winter.So today I am posting work not spotted in the streets, but work on the legs of Pete, who meticulously crafted this lovely piece on my upper back last year.
I snapped this shot of an old-school parrot on his left leg late last summer:
And then, last week, on January 2, while peeking on the Year of the Tiger hullabaloo at Thicker than Water, where he is tattooing when not at New York Hardcore, I photographed this cool bald eagle on his right leg:
with this skull in the eagle's talons:
Both tattoos were crafted by old-school Brooklyn tattoo artist Steve Delgado.
I thank Pete for his outstanding work, and for sharing some of his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
