I met William on the A train one Sunday morning. He was covered with tattoos. When I asked him how many he has, he replied that he had "never counted".
As many of my subjects can attest, when I meet people with a lot of ink, I ask them which one they'd like me to post on the site. William offered up a tattoo he has of Marilyn Monroe, as seen by Andy Warhol. But, as such a tattoo has appeared here before (see Nina's ink here), I asked for something else. He let me choose this piece, a tattoo of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat:
A closer look:
This is based on Basquiat's artwork, which is most recognizable from its appearance on the cover of a Maya Angelou children's story.
William also let me take a picture of his name on his hand, which appeared in Ina Saltz's Body Type 2
:
William credited the Basquiat tattoo with David Sena at North Star Tattoo in Manhattan. Work by David Sena appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to William for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
