The second tattoo from the 5th Avenue Festival on June 1 belongs to Maria.
Maria's tattoo on her right bicep, was one of the nicest pieces I saw all day, and I saw quite a few. The simple elegance of the artwork was striking, and a perfect example of a "less is more" outlook toward tattoos.
The concept is simple: a tree, abstractly drawn with flower blossoms. Each flower represents the birth month of a family member.
The top two blossoms are for her parents, born in May (Lily-of-the-Valley) and September (Aster).
The next two represent Maria (December - Narcissus) and her husband (November -
Chrysanthemum).
The next two are for her son (April - Daisy) and daughter (January - Carnation), and the one on
the bottom, "because we couldn't leave him out," is for Lucky, the family dog (October - Cosmos).
This stunning piece was tattooed by Rob at Brooklyn Ink. Work from Brooklyn Ink has appeared on Tattoosday previously here.
Thanks to Maria for sharing her tattoo with Tattoosday!
