I met Hannah in Penn Station one afternoon after spotting this amazing sugar skull on her upper left arm:
Here is a broader glimpse of the tattoo:
Hannah has over twenty tattoos and told me she wanted this piece to have alot of different elements in it. The gold tooth was a must, because Hannah loves pirates.
Gold teeth in sugar skulls are not necessarily unusual. Chainsaws, however are a bit out of the ordinary:
The chainsaw, Hannah explained, is a tribute to her uncle, who is a lumberjack. And, she added frankly, the bottle is there to acknowledge her grandfather, an alcoholic.
This sugar skull was completed in two 2-3 hour sessions by Tim Barnes at Holeshot's Premium Tattoo & Piercing in Amherst, Massachusetts. Tim has moved on to Florida, according to Hannah, but I haven't been able to identify where he is currently working.
Readers can see all of the sugar skulls previously posted on Tattoosday by clicking here or on the Sugar Skulls tag at the end of the post.
Thanks again to Hannah for sharing her sugar skull with us here on Tattoosday!
