Lindsay's Mermaid Kicks off Summer

Well, it's officially summer and we are expecting a scorcher here today in New York City.

I wanted to share a tattoo that would fit the theme, but I've been looking ahead to this Saturday's Mermaid Parade in Coney Island.

A couple weeks ago I rode my bike out to the boardwalk and was rewarded with a lot of sharing tattooed people. So, with the parade on the horizon and summer in the air, let's meet Lindsay and one of her tattoos:


Lindsay explained that she went to Black Cat Tattoos in Pittsburgh and consulted with the artist, Jason Lambert:
"I went to him and ... told him my idea ... I wanted to go with the siren/mermaid theme, with like drunken sailors, luring them out to sea, and he drew it up and it went from there ... so this is original artwork."
