Cenk's Skeleton Tattoo Pays Homage to Yukio Mishima and St. Sebastian

    I met Cenk where I meet so many Tattoosday volunteers, outside of Penn Station on the plaza adjacent to Madison Square Garden.

    He shared this, one of his four tattoos:

    This is an interpretation of the depiction of St. Sebastian, as seen by the Japanese author Yukio Mishima, one of Cenk's favorite writers. A variation of the St. Sebastian imagery graced one of the many covers of Mishima's Confessions of a Mask:


    Mishima even posed for a publicity photo as the martyred St. Sebastian:


    This piece was tattooed by Myles Karr at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn. According to his website, he has since left Saved, and opened Three Kings Tattoo Parlor. Mr. Karr's work has appeared previously on Tattoosday here and here.


    Thanks to Cenk for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
