The best Philly tattoos
We mentioned a couple of days ago, spurred by the above excellent neon skyline tattoo above (done by Chad Knight at Boulevard Tattoo in Collingsdale), that we were gonna try to round up the boldest and beautiful-est Philly-love tattoos. We found a lot of LOVE Parks, a lot of sports team logos and a lot of Liberty Bells, but we’ve sorted through them all and come up with the neatest ones, starting with a rather less abstract skyline than the one above:
Skin City
Over at Philthy blog, they have a picture of what is indeed “seriously the best fucking Philly skyline tattoo I’ve ever seen.” It’s on the arm of Lana Thompson, and it is sweet. They’ve got more information on why the Comcast Center isn’t in there over at Philthy.
I found it interesting that in the comments there were a few people describing their own Philly-related tattoos… I’d like to see/catalog ‘em if that’d be cool; if you’ve got a Philly tattoo that you’re particularly proud of, why don’t you send a picture over to eguendelsberger@philadelphiaweekly.com (kind of a mouthful, I’m aware) and I’ll see if I can’t put a gallery together.
And just because I’m reminded of it, the skyline out the front of the bus back from New York this weekend. Philly, you’re purty sometimes!
The Wrinkles Just Slip Off
If you love to shop and want to receive daily e-mails about sales from top designers, or hate stores and never want to step foot in one again, Current TV Tech reporter Sarah Lane has some suggestions.
The Ground Report discusses why it might be good to have oily skin after all. This article reminded me of my grandmother, who says that she doesn’t have wrinkles because her skin is so oily, and the wrinkles just slipped off.
There’s a blog that illustrates the New York edition of ‘missed connections’ as featured on Craig’s List. It’s pretty interesting. The New York Times is a fan too.
The Frisky highlights celebs with tattoos, Glamour helps a girl pick out a handbag that costs a small fortune, the New York Times gives a review of Milan’s fashion week, which isn’t as flashy as it once was, and NBC10 asks whether backless dresses are trashy or not.
Feliz Cinco De Mayo!
In honor of Cinco De Mayo, raise your margaritas at one of these spots. Ole!
Before getting the salt and rocks, take a peek at this dress. It’s so cute! Post drinks, you can argue for or against Barbie’s tattoos.
New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham took some pictures last week during the August like weather in April. His commentary is pretty entertaining. I picture him riding around on his little bike stopping to get these pictures, and it makes me smile.
Now, what was it you wanted? Rocks? Sugar on the rim?
