Lana Thompson is moving to Portland. But before she leaves she wanted to get a tattoo of the city she’s loved… And it’s seriously the best fucking Philly skyline tattoo I’ve ever seen.
Inspired by a 1992 custom neon by Len Davidson (aka Davidson Neon, of the Neon Museum of Philadelphia), that was originally designed as a large wall piece for a den.
Lana headed to Tiny Tim’s Boulevard Tattoo in Collingdale, PA and was worked on by Chad Knight… (Is that the right terminology? “Worked on”?… I have… None of the tattoos.)
I LOVE this… Good job girl!! Philly will miss you too.
I should mention that Lana’s got a voice if here own. Check out her Tumblr HERE.
I’m seriously considering a Philly tattoo. What do you all think? Do you have any Philly tattoos? Let me know…
TTLY, Conrad
My Philly Tattoo is the clothespin! The sculpture across from city hall by claus oldenburg (spelling?). It’s called the kiss. And I love Philly! I made it pink so it would be more my own. It’s also my way of making fun of all the people who have the love park tattoo haha
Hahaha that’s perfect!! You should send me a photo… conrad.benner[at]Gmail[dot]com
Love it!
liberty bell on my left foot. my husband has the same tat on his right leg.
I know someone with a Philly-related tattoo – not necessarily a landmark. It’s the Phillie Phanatic and William Penn shaking hands. I’ll take a pic ASAP!
waiting for the I HEART COMCAST tatt….
AHHHHHHHHHHH. its awesome. thank you thank you!
As a Philly resident and Vespa owner it seemed logical to combine my loves. I’m going to rework and get this. http://scoot.net/patches/patch.html?p=174
Someone has a tat of the Phanatic and William Penn?!?! YES!!!!! I srsly wish the Phanatic was my best friend!
