The warmth from these encounters is brightening these winter days.<br /><br />Case in point, on a bike ride out to Coney Island, I was cruising along the boardwalk when I spotted a woman on a bench, reading a book. She had tattoos so, naturally, I stopped.<br /><br />It was after I introduced myself that she recognized me, and I saw the sparrows on the backs of her calves. This was Meister, who had contributed back in January 2012 <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/01/meisters-memorial-sparrows.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Meister blogs at <a href="http://www.thenervouscook.com/">The Nervous Cook</a> and is a <a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/user/profile/NervousCook">food writer</a> and coffee columnist. Now, she is a repeat subject on Tattoosday. I first met her in December 2011 on 23rd Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. Here we were, 19 months later, in another borough and another season.<br /><br />What would have been impossible to see in the winter, was now visible in the summer, and Meister rolled up her shorts and shared this awesome tattoo on her thigh:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwF1cX-84tLki62LiLpko7_1h8_Xf84c_sjCqNlCg-lT61HD7V_r4p-qHMAW45rA4Q_TA7hP7hRjHLjm2t5_ockcTa3ogrERiuIUS9U9SeaxUzy46PnG9__WvSakyB9fEOUVon8DhsPVw/s1600/Meister.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwF1cX-84tLki62LiLpko7_1h8_Xf84c_sjCqNlCg-lT61HD7V_r4p-qHMAW45rA4Q_TA7hP7hRjHLjm2t5_ockcTa3ogrERiuIUS9U9SeaxUzy46PnG9__WvSakyB9fEOUVon8DhsPVw/s640/Meister.JPG" width="358" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />This is, if you look at it closely, an aerial view of world-famous Central Park. Meister explained:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"It's a map of Central Park, with some birds, and a little squirrely-o ... I love Central Park, it's my favorite part of New York City and I wanted to honor it ...it's my home. And on the other [thigh] I plan to get a lake in my husband's home town, which is Oklahoma City, to finish it off, my last piece, but I've been hesitating because it will be my last piece of work..."</blockquote><br />In addition to the red-tailed hawk and the New York City pigeon, there's a peacock because, as Meister explained, "I was running past the park the day that the peacock escaped" from the Central Park Zoo. You can re-visit that newsworthy event <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/peacock-escapes-central-park-zoo-roaming-upper-east-side-article-1.946075">here</a>.<br /><br />Like her previous work featured here, Meister had this done by <a href="http://myleskarr.tumblr.com/">Myles Karr</a>. If you're going to stick with one artist, Myles is among the best to choose from. He's currently with the amazing shop <a href="http://threekingstattoo.com/">Three Kings Tattoo</a>, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Myles and the good people at Three Kings have had work featured on Tattoosday many times before.

I’ll be honest, I was never a huge fan, but I had friends that were, coming of age in the 1980’s.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />I remember first seeing Black Flag on film in the groundbreaking <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082252/">The Decline of Western Civilization</a>, screened at the <a href="http://manoa.hawaii.edu/campusmap/buildings.html">University of Hawaii</a> Physical Science Auditorium, whose film series had a cult following among teens in Honolulu in the early 80’s. It was there that I saw <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073629/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Rocky Horror</a> (many times), <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000835/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1">Ralph Bakshi’s</a> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076929/?ref_=nv_sr_4">Wizards</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000540/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1">Russ Meyer's</a> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075376/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_3">Up!</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075244/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">The Song Remains the Same</a>, and the <a href="http://www.blacksabbath.com/">Black Sabbath</a>/<a href="http://www.blueoystercult.com/">Blue Oyster Cult</a> concert film, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251615/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3">Black and Blue</a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />And, <i>Decline</i>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />The film didn’t shake my core like it did many of my friends, but my middle-aged memory cites it as my first encounter with Black Flag. Their emblematic bars found their way onto my notebooks, sharing the doodling of metal band names and logos. The bars remind me of adolescence and rebellion.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />Other people’s rebellion, not mine, mind you.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />I won’t claim to be someone I’m not, or someone I wasn’t.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />I don’t have any Black Flag tattoos on me, and I never will.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />This past summer, on my way to a job interview, I was in lower Manhattan in a suit on a sweltering day when I met Harley, a woman with a lot of ink. I had a few minutes before my interview and asked her about her work. She showed me her back:<br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41SZRpISmV6hivQgOgPldZyttOT9TN2BzMfFvjIqr515TNNFT1MJABGS_u-8kQt7R-28AMe8K6IWjJ1sj3XACNRB8tEggZiKsmIYvgkDjKcgpGLOAZN2ohJ2siLNIGSegQa2i_VABQ8I/s1600/Haley.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41SZRpISmV6hivQgOgPldZyttOT9TN2BzMfFvjIqr515TNNFT1MJABGS_u-8kQt7R-28AMe8K6IWjJ1sj3XACNRB8tEggZiKsmIYvgkDjKcgpGLOAZN2ohJ2siLNIGSegQa2i_VABQ8I/s640/Haley.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Running into Harley and having her share this tattoo seemed fortuitous, as I had just received a copy of <u><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1604863943/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1604863943&linkCode=as2&tag=bill03-20%22%3EBarred%20for%20Life:%20How%20Black%20Flag's%20Iconic%20Logo%20Became%20Punk%20Rock's%20Secret%20Handshake%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=bill03-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1604863943%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Barred for Life</a></u> in the mail. Subtitled “How Black Flag’s Signature Logo Became Punk Rock’s Secret Handshake,” this book was on my list of titles to review, and there had just been several events in New York celebrating its release.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://secure.pmpress.org/images/products/detail_498_barredforlifefront300_copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://secure.pmpress.org/images/products/detail_498_barredforlifefront300_copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I envisioned a big post, combining Harley’s tattoo and the review. This is that post (obviously), but just fashionably late to the party. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />A word first about Harley’s tattoo, which she credited to <a href="http://invisiblenyc.com/artists/troy_denning/">Troy Denning</a> at <a href="http://invisiblenyc.com/">Invisible NYC</a>. Harley told me, when I asked her why she got the "Rise Above" tattoo, simply, “to rise above.” She added later, “And to … let nothing keep you down...” </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />As for <u>Barred for Life</u>, I can’t think of a more compelling gift for someone who is either a 1) punk/hardcore fan; or 2) a fan of simple tattoos that mean a whole lot. So, if you know someone looking to use a bookstore gift card this holiday season, tell them to special order this book.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />Let’s face it, the Bars are fairly rudimentary – four rectangular blocks offset in equidistant parallel orientation. <u>Barred for Life</u> unveils a wide array of variations on the tattoo, which anchors album art and other punk sentiment. The really compelling aspect of each tattoo is that of the interview that accompanies it.</div><div class="MsoNormal">We get an inside view into the minds of people who have been “barred for life,” including the fan’s relationship with the band, the story behind the tattoo (right up our alley!), and the favorite singer/song/album trifecta. We’re also treated to interviews with current and former band members, with Henry Rollins noticeably absent.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />The scope of this volume is magnificent. The number of people who are “barred for life” is staggering, just based on this sampling alone. Think of the thousands of others who have been similarly branded – where a tattoo of a band logo goes above and beyond one’s appreciation of the group itself. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />That said, this is more than just a tattoo book – it’s a chronicle of a mindset, a visual exploration of a family that united around a symbol that inserted itself as a logo of a punk band, and evolved into a cultural icon.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thanks to Harley for sharing her Black Flag tattoo with us here on Tattoosday, and to Stewart Dean Ebersole for putting together such a great chronicle of bars tattoos. </div><br /><div class="MsoNormal">More info on the book <a href="http://www.barredforlife.net/">here</a>.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6058251288236499429" name="_GoBack"></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=bill03-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=1604863943" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><br /></div><br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-72fa81df-2460-8f96-ffc0-75e6d859c3f5"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span> <br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

My new job cracks the top five this year, although it might appear as though my intense love of this blog is suffering as a result. As I've said before, you, the readers out there in the world, are also people for whom I am thankful. <i>Mahalo</i>, as they say in my childhood home, for visiting often.<br /><br />Posts have been few and far between, I realize, this fall. Nonetheless, I wanted to celebrate the holiday with this post from Thanksgiving 2010, slightly edited, which appeared <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-thanksgiving.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!<br /><br /><i>In honor of the holiday, I am sharing this, my newest tattoo, located above my knee on my right thigh:</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid94JBJ5PihXUyFx75qgq0vNxNHJm0j4GZ62KvL8xDE0iAdEJLLP6IJ-bInhweaqd6Dn7UyLhLHHYiVkc7j-RvaSQ3Ha0BXlTEKfxsyPajjJyQd984dfyJSJXrFohLrArKX9kXjk2-miQ/s1600/Thanks+tattoo+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="596" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid94JBJ5PihXUyFx75qgq0vNxNHJm0j4GZ62KvL8xDE0iAdEJLLP6IJ-bInhweaqd6Dn7UyLhLHHYiVkc7j-RvaSQ3Ha0BXlTEKfxsyPajjJyQd984dfyJSJXrFohLrArKX9kXjk2-miQ/s640/Thanks+tattoo+wm.jpg" width="640" /></a><i></i></div><i><br /></i><br /><i>This was done at <a href="http://www.handofglorytattoo.com/">Hand of Glory</a> in Brooklyn yesterday as part of the shop's <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/event.php?eid=171304776221493">$75 Thanksgiving Tattoo Special</a> ... </i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEingSATAOvLhNNpbZHslteNe_OUvCNcR9YJ_-l0gYXRhHs1XgNUrWRPwpGfWSZBB9l-NfNXoSCcNYQk5jgfk2VKe-l4yJi0AGcoNfkecoCGw3Srhl-4e5rLeKDdxlzc2dK2f3c85WFD7K0/s1600/Troll_Skin_Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></i></div><i></i><br /><i>For those of you just tuning in, check the pre-post <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/11/great-thanksgiving-tattoo-event.html">here</a>, which includes all the Thanksgiving flash designed for the occasion. I asked readers to vote on which tattoo to get, and this one sneaked out a narrow victory over the traditional Native American profile.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I like this design because it combines a lot of traditional tattoo elements and delivers an image with a sociopolitical subtext. We have the traditional American flag and handshake designs, but the added element of crossed fingers serves as a reminder that, despite apparent good intentions, there was subsequently a historical betrayal of that initial good will.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>But that's just one perspective, of course, and the Thanksgiving holiday focuses on the positive in our society. The mere existence of the tattoo reminds me to be thankful, which I alluded to in my original post.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I was fortunate enough to have <a href="http://www.handofglorytattoo.com/pages/brian.html">BJ</a> as my artist again. He had inked <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/08/tattoosdays-trip-to-hand-of-glory.html">my Friday the 13th tattoo</a> last August, and I appreciate that he works quickly and concisely.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVi3NjZx9IflB4ov3x-0DDhOjtXGYIs8YRXcjBZDrcBEnwY3qEJyWtXc6sqVYeqqzZWww2I0cPFsg31jr-51POFNwBA_i3pv8WYcgirOcvrQLnftvKTZqNLsr2bn-bmXsjXAMww0NtH0I/s1600/Brian+Faulk+At+Work.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVi3NjZx9IflB4ov3x-0DDhOjtXGYIs8YRXcjBZDrcBEnwY3qEJyWtXc6sqVYeqqzZWww2I0cPFsg31jr-51POFNwBA_i3pv8WYcgirOcvrQLnftvKTZqNLsr2bn-bmXsjXAMww0NtH0I/s400/Brian+Faulk+At+Work.jpg" width="386" /></a></i></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>BJ at Work</i></td></tr></tbody></table><i>It was nice, also, that this design was one of his contributions to the flash sheet, as he was kind enough to embellish slightly on the original design, and it always seems better when an artist is tattooing his or her own design.
