Alex Shares Three Elements of an Amazing Sleeve

I'm not sure why it has taken so long to post Alex's tattoos - when I met him at the end of May in K-Mart @ Penn Station, I was totally stoked by his ink. Perhaps I was just letting the photos simmer as I waited for the right time to share them. Nevertheless, here they are, finally.

What we're seeing are three portions of Alex's left arm sleeve, beginning with this segment which is the most impressive part of the work:

As Alex explains, this tattoo is

"inspired by the carvings in Cambodia in Siem Reap ... it's one of the temples of Indra, Indian god of thunder ... he's also the god of change and progress ...

... He's very human-like because he messes up a lot ... he's somewhat of a womanized, so it makes him very original from the rest of the Indian gods..."

At the top of Alex's arm is this symbol:

He told me that this is the logo of a hard rock group from Brooklyn called Life of Agony.

You can check out their website here or peruse their Amazon catalog here.

In the photo above, you get a glimpse of the third and final segment of Alex's sleeve which we're seeing today, which features this familiar face:

That's the symbolic face of Steeplechase Park on Coney Island.

Compare to this tattoo, which appeared here last year.

Alex explained about his connection to Coney Island:

"...Basically, I grew up there ... I grew up in Bensonhurst, but [Coney Island] is kind of where I became myself, adolescence and all that stuff - that's the old Coney Island..."

Alex credited all of his work to a tattoo artist named Seth Wood who is currently working out of Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn.

"This 1920s Day Dress, Penny. The real dress is in a private collection. I was asked recently for more day dresses of the 1920s era. There are a lot of different styles to choose from because 1920s fashion was such a changing thing! There was sleekly elegant, romantic, fun flapper things, and even avant garde or Egyptian inspired outfits. It was a lively time for fashion. This particular dress reminds me of garden parties or tea in a friend's home, or church on Sunday morning."

Breezy so often writes of Second Life and The Fantasy and Creative .

Seastar is Prime example of just that .. A journey if You please,back in time in design.

"Sailor dresses of one form or another have been around starting in the early 1800s and continue to be a popular style of dress to the modern day. The real day suit, Seastar, is made of a linen fabric, good for walking around on the beach or boat deck. Though I have to say, it's nothing I'd want to be caught in the water in! It could have as easily been on the Titanic as it could have been on the boardwalk or a yacht."

*Lady Kembri Tomsen*

Kembri encloses a Note Card with vivid details to each of her emsembles she brings to Grid

"This Edwardian Sailor dress, Seastar. It's based on a dress from about 1906 that currently resides in a private collection. It would have also been called a yachting costume by the ladies of the day. The hat and gloves are true to the period. I'm enclosing a drawing from a magazine of the time showing an outfit much like Miss Seastar."

Liberty and Justice, Courtesy of Alex

I met Alex a few weeks back in Penn Station. I spotted this familiar face on his right calf:

I say a familiar face, because it is clearly the profile of the Statue of Liberty, but something looks slightly different. Alex explained why:

"It's the right side of the face, [which] is really hard to find because the arm for the torch is in the way ... I had to research forever and then I found two photos which I matched up ... one was when it was under construction, someone got the right side ... the crown part we had to reverse and put onto the picture ... I'm pretty particular - it actually took two weeks to come up with a good design..."

Alex says he got this tattoo a few years back "to commemorate President Bush leaving office." He was living in Portland, Oregon, at the time and is originally from Albany, New York. The collaboration on the tattoo was with an artist named Ron at a shop whose name he doesn't recall.

As happy as I was to take this photo, Alex was more keen on showing off a newer piece, done by Chris Reynolds at Albany Modern Body Art. He raised his shirt up to show me this tattoo on his right side:

Alex explained that his ink had a very Northeastern slant to it. This tattoo fits in with the general feel of that theme.

He wanted to be sure to praise the guys at Modern Body Art and was really very proud of this work.

Thanks to Alex for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
