April Marching into May
Labels:

ouroboros
Last Friday, I spotted this tattoo on Seventh Avenue in the 20's:
April was happy to stop and chat about her black and gray tattoo which was a gift from her boyfriend on her 27th birthday.
The piece is fairly straight forward -
cherry blossoms
bloom in late March/early April. Her birthday is in March and her name is April.
For that alone these traditional tattoo flowers seemed appropriate for her.
The design of the
ouroboros
, or the dragon forming a circle by consuming itself beginning with the tail, represents the "vicious cycle of life".
This tattoo was inked by Iann at
Armageddon Tattoo
in the
Bushwick
section of Brooklyn. Iann's work has appeared
here
previously on the site.
Thanks to April for sharing her lovely tattoo with us on Tattoosday!
