Hannah's Parrot is a Love Bird

    I spotted this avian tattoo on the right calf of Hannah one afternoon in a Duane Reade store:


    Hannah explained that this tattoo is romantic at its core.

    Married couples often have pet names for one another, or nicknames, at the very least. Hannah and her husband Kevin are no exception to this rule.

    They refer to one another as birds, extending the metaphor to calling their apartment their "nest" and their car as the "moveable nest".

    So Hannah wanted a bird tattoo, with the plan for Kevin to get an owl tattoo to give them an avian set.

    She took a photo of a blue and gold macaw with her to the artist Nalla Smith at Inkstop NYC on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. This lovely parrot tattoo was the end result. Work from Inkstop NYC has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

    Kevin's owl is on hold while he finishes a Capricorn sea goat tattoo in progress on his right arm.

    Thanks to Hannah (and Kevin) for talking tattoo with us here at Tattoosday and sharing their work. We're looking forward to sharing Kevin's finished tattoo in the future!
