She was happy to see me and had been wondering, having previously read http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/ and knowing she worked in the same area as I did, if our paths would ever cross.
She has seven tattoos (and a cool blog here), but we focused on the large tattoo on her upper right arm:
Or, looking at it as a whole:
The art is based on the work of Alphonse Mucha, who has inspired a couple of other tattoos appearing previously on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/ here and here.
If that second link looks familiar, it is because both Kat's tattoo and Delissa's are inspired by the same work, "Monaco".
Kat's tattoo is interpreted a little differently, translated with brighter colors, which, in Kat's words, were "amped up to be on my arm".
The plan is eventually for this tattoo to expand to be a half-sleeve.
The phrase "the world is quiet here" is a nod to a motto for a secret organization known as V.F.D. in A Series of Unfortunate Events
by Lemony Snicket. These books are favorites among Kat's list of much-loved titles.Her work was created by the artist Joy Rumore at Twelve 28 Tattoo in Brooklyn.
Kind thanks to Kat for sharing her work with us here on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/!
