I spotted Kevin at the corner of 33rd Street and 7th Avenue and asked him about his incredible tattoo covering the majority of his left arm:
His upper arm has a cross on it, so Kevin worked downward on the arm. The angel is based on the sculpture of "The Angel of the Waters" in Central Park's Bethesda Fountain.
He subsequently added the banner that reads "Veni Vidi Vici" on the back side of the forearm:
This famous Latin phrase, attributed to Julius Caesar, means "I came. I saw. I conquered." In his mind, this sums up Kevin's life, having moved from a town of 70,000 people to a megopolis of over 7 million, attaining a senior position with a fashion corporation.
Kevin is particularly happy with the detail in the wings and the angel herself.
Ray Jerez at Inborn NYC on the Lower East Side of Manhattan is the artist behind this tattoo.
Thanks much to Kevin for sharing his amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
