Earlier this month, I stopped by one of my favorite watering holes, Threes Brewing (@threesbrewing), in Brooklyn. While enjoying a Voluntary Exile Baltic Porter, I struck up a conversation with one of the bartenders, Susan, who shared this amazing tattoo on her upper arm:
Susan explained that, when she turned forty, her mother had just died and "it just felt right to get an enormous tattoo."
The piece depicts the Angel of Grief, a sculpture by William Wetmore Story, for his wife Emelyn's grave in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. "My mother and I had seen it together," Susan told me. She thought it was an appropriate tribute and fit the bill as a big tattoo.
She credited the work to the amazingly talented Annie Lloyd from Get Fat Brooklyn (@getfatbk).
Thanks to Susan for sharing her lovely tattoo with us here on ralphnolannoble!
