A German Gypsy in New York City

Labels:

,
    I met Dominic a couple of weeks ago out in front of Madison Square Garden in Penn Plaza.

    He was visiting from Cologne, Germany, and was displaying an arm with tattoos:



    Dominic has seven tattoos, most of which are based on traditional flash art.

    We looked specifically at his gypsy tattoo, which Dominic says is especially poignant:



    Why is this piece so meaningful? Dominic says his family once was very well-off ("blue-blooded"), but they lost their fortune. As a result, he feels a certain kinship to the tattoo.

    The tattoo was created by Carlos at Fine Line Tattooing in Düsseldorf, Germany.

    Thanks to Dominic for sharing his gypsy with us here on Tattoosday!
