It was the swallows on her back that I noticed. But they were covered partially by the straps of her top, so I was just going to give her a Tattoosday flier and go on my merry way.But, Syndy, a first grade teacher visiting from North Carolina, blew me away by peeling up her shirt on the sidewalk in front of Penn Station to reveal this stunning black and gray Polish windjammer.
This tattoo was inked in honor of her late grandmother, with the banner inscription "Forever -n- Ever, Nanny".
Syndy says her Nanny was a remarkable woman who always encouraged her to "be free," and loved going sailing.
This piece was inked in two sittings by Craig Foster at Skinwerks Tattoo & Design in Atlanta.
Thanks to Syndy for sharing her beautiful tribute here at Tattoosday!
