Nathan's Luck

I first became friendly with Nathan over at KnuckleTattoos.com as a peer in the inkblogging community.

Based in Texas, Nathan's site specializes in what you would expect from the name, Knuckle Tattoos.

As a contributing writer, I have posted a handful of knuckles (ha) from people I have met in my Tattoosday wanderings in the Big Apple.

And although the last post on his site (as of this writing) was back in May, Nathan has been busy indeed, traveling over the late summer, courtesy of a 30-day Jet Blue pass and blogging about it. The trip was documented here, on 30 Days in the Air. Not only that, he has ink to memorialize the journey. See what I mean in this post.

Nathan was in New York as part of his adventure back in October and I met him for a slice of pizza on Broadway near Herald Square.

We talked shop, mostly, about blogging, tattoos, and his trip. And, of course, he shared one of his tattoos for the folks here at Tattoosday:

Nathan explained that this is a "kitchen table tattoo inked by a Japanese fellow calling himself 'Cadillac'. He was in town [Austin] for a week from Japan tattooing in order to pay for his rent when he got back".

The tattoo features all of Nathan's "luck pieces," such as dice, cards, his lucky number (23), a horseshoe, a black cat, and a banner that reads "Fortune Favors the Valiant".

It was great meeting Nathan and I thank him for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
