I met Garrett back in June in Penn Station when I was still reeling from the loss of my camera.
I had yet to replace my photographic equipment and I had yet to receive the loaner from my awesome friend Jill.
So, I did the best I could with a flash-less BlackBerry camera to capture Garrett's awesome sleeve:
Yes, folks, it's another peacock in our midst, in a summer during which we have been treated to a variety of peafowl.
Garrett's choice to get this tattoo stems from his love of these birds, combined with an appreciation of fashion, and how the peacock speaks to that sensibility. He also likes how the males are the fairer of the two sexes.
What's especially remarkable is that this is a black and gray tattoo, with no plans to take on any color ink.
The inclusion of magnolias, azaleas and violets, all in homage to the South, make this potentially dizzyingly colorful tattoo more remarkable in its basic palette. Rather than explosions of color, we are rewarded with subtleties of shading.
