Show us your ink! MARKED is our new series where we ask locals of all ages, professions and backgrounds to roll up their sleeves, pant legs, and so much more to reveal their marks. Here are their stories:
Name: Allison Elliott
Age : 23 now, 19 then
My Wrist: It's in memoriam of Dustin Rich, one of my best friends and one of the most beautiful people inside and out I have ever met.
Read more about Elliott's mark after the jump ...
The imagery comes from his favorite song, "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley. It was designed and tattooed by Tony Olvera at Lady Luck Tattoo Gallery.
Next tattoo? There are a few ideas floating around in my head. Most likely it'll be my friend and I getting stacks of pancakes, dripping syrup and checkerboard tablecloth included.
I also really need to get a circus peanut -- those toxically orange marshmallow candies you get at the gas station. Haven't been able to eat one since I became a vegetarian five years ago. Or more baked goods on the inside of my fingers. Either way, it'll be food related.
Know of a few creative marks? Send us your photos/suggestions.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
