Coney Island on My Mind

Earlier this month I met Jamie outside of Macy*s on 34th Street. She has eight tattoos and shared this fantastic piece on her inner right arm:


Jamie got this because she is from Brooklyn and, like most Brooklynites, Coney Island has a special place in her heart. The piece is a collage of all the Coney Island icons, from the Cyclone, to the Wonder Wheel, the Parachute Jump, with the Boardwalk and the famous grinning face of Tillie, which has become an image synonymous with the location.

She credited freelance artist, Jack Jerz, with this tattoo.
