I met Marisa walking down 40th Street in Manhattan late one October afternoon. She had just crossed Broadway when I spotted her and asked her about her tattoos. Namely, these two gracing the back of her calves:
These tattoos are based on the work of artist John R. Neill, who illustrated L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz books. The female figure in both designs is Polychrome, the Rainbow's daughter.
Both legs were tattooed at Rock Star Tattoos in Honolulu. Conor did the left calf:
and Kazan did the right:
Marisa has 11 tattoos in all. Incidentally, having heard she grew up in Hawai'i, I played the small-world game with her and discovered we both had the same history teacher, two decades apart, when he taught at different schools.
Like many people who have Oz tattoos, Marisa loved the books and was inspired by the magic in them, vividly illustrated.
Thanks to Marisa for stopping on the street and consenting to share her wonderful tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
