He was with who I will presume to be his wife and toddler son. I noticed he had tattoos on his arms so I approached him and told him about http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/.
With his wife's encouragement, he pulled up his shirt to reveal this astonishingly unique tattoo:
Shawn drew this design himself. As a person who liked cats, this feline is based on a cat that he once had named "Do" (as in "How do you do?").
"What happened to Do?" I asked.
Shawn looked over at his son and said, sadly, "Do was not a family cat."
Some feline house pets do not like new babies and do not hide that fact. Since we are taught as a society that babies are more precious than pets, they gave Do up to another home. The cat to the left of Do in the tattoo is "Do's shadow".
Not just any cat tattoo, Shawn's design is artistic, with clocks for eyes and machinery rumbling away in Do's insides.
Shawn also has ink on his back, one leg, and arms (including a sleeve).
This piece was tattooed in 12-14 hours by Davie mac at Davie Mac's Tattoos in Niagara Falls, New York.
Thanks to Shawn for sharing Do with us here on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/!
