Tuesday Tattoo Two-fer

Greyhounds are a tattoo theme today. Andrea Dion Jacobs in Boston has been collecting tattoos—including an award-winner—since she was 17. (She’s now “40-something”). The latest of her dog Baci (photo above) is a favorite. "I took the idea from a piece of art I found of an Italian Greyhound as a geisha,” Jacobs writes. Having just returned from Japan, her tattoo artist Cory Kruger jumped on the idea. "It is funny, once people realize it is of my dog they love it!”

Mary Ann Moore of Eureka, Missouri, got a tribute to her Greyhound Roxanne, a few years ago. “She loved to “cockroach,’” Moore writes, “which in Greyhound-language means lying upside down with legs in the air. Then she’d wiggle around like she was break-dancing. She was fun, like this image based on art by Kent Roberts.”
