Gloria and Emilio Estefan honored for work at Miami's Children's Hospital
"Miami Children’s Hospital has been an institution in our community for decades," said Gloria and Emilio. "We have personally been involved with the hospital and foundation on many levels and have witnessed firsthand the incredible care and service they provide to their patients and families. To be recognized and receive an honor of this caliber from an organization that does such great work for our families is truly an honor."
This is the highest honor bestowed by MCH Foundation. Other advocates include Beyoncé, Dwyane Wade, Barbara & Jack Nicklaus, Kelly Preston, Jonas Salk and Walt Disney, to name a few.
The Estefans were selected for their work on behalf of children, not just in their own backyard, but on a global scale. For years, they have donated countless amounts of money and created awareness for a variety of leading children's causes through the Gloria Estefan Foundation. They are active supporters of MCH Foundation as well as other non-profits. Much of the time, their donations are made anonymously.

Andrea's Half-Sleeve with Mermaid
Today we are checking out an awesome traditional half-sleeve by Charlie Foos at Reade Street Tattoo Parlour. I spotted it on Andrea outside of the Fuse studios on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan:
Andrea told me this was completed in three sessions of three and a half hours each and was inspired by s piece of jewelery. "I bought this pendant of a ship," she said, "and I decided I wanted a half-sleeve of something traditional." The rest is history.
Thanks to Andrea for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

subject: Funny tattoo "Ride Hard Die Free"
Hi,
I stumbled across this tattoo online, and I haven't seen on your blog before. It is supposed to say "Ride Hard Die Free" but as you can see Google Translate made a creative interpretation of the phrase. I hope you enjoy it!
http://beckmansbruk.blogg.se/2010/january/7-e-januari-1.html
Thank you for a great blog!
Regards,
Gunnar
Grammatically speaking, this tattooed phrase is Chinese, however its translation back to English is far from "Ride Hard Die Free".
Granted, 免費 does mean "free of charge", 乘坐 does mean "riding, or being passenger", 硬 does mean "hard", but 模 or 硬模 is not verb for "die, or dying". Rather it is the noun "die" as in "die-casting" or "die-molding".
I guess this young man is quite proud and wants everyone to know he enjoys "freely shoving die-casted figurines up his ass"?
Kinky!

Kerry Unveils Some Masterpieces
A couple weeks ago, I felt like I had won the Tattoosday lottery. In my own neighborhood, I ran into Kerry, who had a bit of a tattoo peeking out of her left sleeve. I stopped her and introduced myself, and she shared some simply phenomenal work. We'll get to that left sleeve in a second, but Kerry figured I'd be impressed with this tattoo on her upper right arm:
Well, she was certainly right about that! This is a piece by Anil Gupta at Inkline Studio in Manhattan. The detail of this work is astonishing.
Thanks to Kerry for sharing her simply stunning tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
Well, she was certainly right about that! This is a piece by Anil Gupta at Inkline Studio in Manhattan. The detail of this work is astonishing.
Anil Gupta is considered a master of the biomechanical tattoo. Kerry explained:
To get a full appreciation of the tattoo, check out the work from Gupta's portfolio. Simply stunning!"I'd seen Gupta's work and I really wanted something in the biomechanical style ... I just thought of a butterfly, which is usually something very feminine and soft, just made it out of parts and steel ... like a cool mix of the styles ... we just kept building and adding more stuff to the design ... he was great to work with."
That's twenty-five hours of work by a master of the biomechanical.
Remember, it wasn't the Gupta tattoo that caught my attention, but this colorful section of a sleeve, on the lower part of Kerry's left arm:
Kerry rolled up her sleeve to reveal the entire arm:
What you see is approximately forty-two hours of work by the talented Kaz at New York Adorned.
Kerry explained the genesis of this sleeve:
"I saw this picture when I was looking up samurai stories, because I'm a martial artist and, initially, we were just going to do it half-sleeve, but then just decided to go whole hog. Kaz is really good, so I just let him go crazy with it."
Kerry's focus in martial arts is grappling and kick-boxing.
And to think, I would have missed all of this amazing work, had I not been intrigued by the head of this Japanese monster, peeking out from one of her sleeves!

Nicole Takes Us to Candyland
At the beginning of the month, I had the pleasure of encountering a young lady named Nicole in Herald Square (34th Street and 6th Avenue, for you out-of-towners).
Nicole is heavily inked, estimating that "about 45%" of her body is tattooed.
So with so much work, where to begin? She offered up her lower left leg, which is fully-sleeved.
I always find photographing sleeves challenging, because it is so hard to capture all of the details accurately and perfectly in a photograph. So here's a collage of Nicole's Candyland sleeve:
Nicole informed me that Brian had moved to California, but he comes back and forth every six months. She did say that, although this work is solely from Brian, she also gets tattooed by Justin Weatherholtz at Kings Avenue Tattoo in Massapequa, New York.
Thanks to Nicole for sharing her incredibly colorful leg sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!

Why a Candylamd-themed sleeve? Nicole explained,
Nicole credited Brian Randolph, formerly of New York Adorned, with this work"Growing up, that was my favorite game in the whole world.
Getting my tattoos never really meant anything, so that was kinda the one, like, childhood thing . . . I feel like if you're a girl, you should have pretty, colorful tattoos ... otherwise, you don't look 'girly' anymore.
So that's why I did that."

Musician Monday: Doug from The Sleeping and Gramp's House
This installment of Musician Monday features Doug Robinson, lead singer from the rock band The Sleeping. I ran into Doug last week in Penn Station and stopped him when I saw all of his tattoos.
Doug has had some of his work featured in Tattoo Magazine and is in the current issue of Tattoo Flash, so I was indeed honored when he agreed to share a piece from his right forearm:
Doug explained that this tattoo is based on a logo created by a friend of his, whose grandfather had passed away and left him his house. Doug's friend, along with Doug and three other guys, lived in the house which they dubbed "Gramp's House." The home was, as Doug told me, "a really important place for all of us," and many of them got this logo tattooed, as a tribute to that special place that they all held near and dear.
Doug credited Jelena Nikolic from Lone Wolf Tattoo in Bellmore, Long Island, with this tattoo.
Thanks to Doug for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday!
Check out The Sleeping's video for "Don't Hold Back":
