20. Take 40 photos of interesting tattoos (Part 3)

I can't believe how amazing some of the following tattoos are - so beautiful and arty. I would still never have one done but I admire those people who do and am intrigued by certain choices they make.

There are six more tattoo photos in this blog bringing the total to 36.

Number 31. This was quite an interesting and slightly creepy tattoo. I was at the wedding of some friends of ours and I saw that someone I knew from the music scene (who was also a guest) had this on her arm. I can't remember the relevance now (as I took this photo in October 2015) but it's of the grim reaper/skeleton as a baby in a pram. I'm sure there was significance but I think it would be too weird to ask her now.

32. This photo was taken on 27th November 2015 at a gig featuring Nizlopi and The Moulettes. The tattoos were on the arms of a dedicated Antonio Lulic fan. They are the lyrics to the song "Hey, It's Okay" featuring Kal Lavelle on backing vocals. Go check out the song.

33. I went to the birthday party of a friend and I was talking about the tattoo part of my 40 list to a friend of mine, Claire Hagen. She said she had a tattoo of Edie Sedgwick and I replied "who's that?" (being the uncultured person that I am). Apparently, she was and actress, fashion model and Andy Warhol's muse. This is such an amazing tattoo - it looks like a portrait.

34. This is on the back of my very good friend Minnie Birch (a superb singer/songwriter). I have been friends with her for ages but I had only just noticed this tattoo because of the dress she was wearing at this particular gig we were playing at Merlin's Cave in Chalfont St Giles. It's obvious why she chose to have a guitar tattoo being that this is one of the many things she is superb at.

35 and 36. These are tattoos on the arm of a former colleague of mine - these are all around the one arm. I love the cartoon feel of the artwork, the vibrant colours and the shading. There is such intricate details on the snowflakes side of her arm. Also nice use of purple (my fave colour) on both sides of her arm!
