Bob Marley Tattoo
Bob Marley Tattoo
Bob Marley was a musician and singer of reggae style music. He wrote songs that touch the hearts of many with topics ranging from love to the hardships and struggles of everyday life. Even now his music is still played among our younger generations. He has inspired hope and strength for many people with the lyrics of his music. Bob Marley passed away in 1981 due to cancer. With the inspiration he gave to many people through his songs, his music and memory still lives on. In remembrance of this talented artist some fan's have opted to get a tattoo of Bob Marley as in this portrait tattoo design.

Phoenix Foretells Phoenix

I met Ryan one afternoon while passing through Penn Station.

He has nine tattoos and has been getting inked since he was seventeen years old.

Here is the largest of his tattoos, which he shared with us here at Tattoosday:



Ryan went to the artist Scott Bramble, who works out of Mercury Tattoo Studio in Glenside, Pennsylvania. He says he let Scott "do what he wanted and he ran with it". The end result was stunning.



I particularly like the detail on the tail feathers.


Ryan remarked that, at the time he had this done, he was married and going through a "horrible" divorce. Now that is in the past and he is happily involved with a girl from Phoenix, Arizona, which he acknowledges is a "weird coincidence".

Thanks to Ryan for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
