Sugar Skull Sunday: Hannah and Her Family
I met Hannah in Penn Station one afternoon after spotting this amazing sugar skull on her upper left arm:
Here is a broader glimpse of the tattoo:
Hannah has over twenty tattoos and told me she wanted this piece to have alot of different elements in it. The gold tooth was a must, because Hannah loves pirates.
Gold teeth in sugar skulls are not necessarily unusual. Chainsaws, however are a bit out of the ordinary:
The chainsaw, Hannah explained, is a tribute to her uncle, who is a lumberjack. And, she added frankly, the bottle is there to acknowledge her grandfather, an alcoholic.
This sugar skull was completed in two 2-3 hour sessions by Tim Barnes at Holeshot's Premium Tattoo & Piercing in Amherst, Massachusetts. Tim has moved on to Florida, according to Hannah, but I haven't been able to identify where he is currently working.

Thanks again to Hannah for sharing her sugar skull with us here on Tattoosday!
