As a New Yorker, how could one not appreciate this dark take on our beloved Statue of Liberty?
This skeletal tattoo is worn by Dan on his inner right forearm. It is a collaboration between him and his cousin, Guido Baldini, aka Lost Cowboy, a tattoo artist who occasionally works Four Star Tattoo in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Dan was out West, visiting family, and this piece was done with a little bit of longing for the Big Apple in his heart.
He was paying homage to that "New York State of Mind".
Missing in the collage above is the great detail in the torch:
I did question the presence of the pentagram on the book that the statue is holding, only because I'm sure that comments might be made.
He clarified the design, noting that, to him, the pentagram represents power, and is not meant to symbolize anything evil.
Thanks to Dan for sharing this tattoo with attitude here on Tattoosday.
