I met Christina one day after work while walking outside of Madison Square Garden.
She had this incredible tattoo, which she gladly shared with us here on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/:
This tattoo that covers her upper left arm was actually done in two segments by artist Orrin Hurley, who currently tattoos at Dare Devil Tattoo in Manhattan.
As for the source material behind this beautiful tattoo, Christina chose a piece of art by Frances Olive Esme Eve:
A closer look at the tattooed owl shows how it was changed, but you can still see that there is still a lot from the original design:
The lighthouse was inspired by the Portland Head Light on Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Thanks to Christina for sharing her tattoo with us here on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/.
