Aisha's Stunning Back Piece



This incredible back piece belongs to Aisha, a former New Yorker who now resides in Florida.



I met her last month at the corner of 36th Street and Broadway in Manhattan.



The tattoo is an interpretation of the old adage, "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil".



Inked over eleven years ago and representing about twenty hours of work, this huge piece was her second of eight tattoos.



She remembers only that the artist's name is Rodrigo, so it may have been Rodrigo Melo who currently owns and works at North Star Tattoo, but I am still working to confirm he was the tattooer behind this.



"I told him what I wanted," Aisha explained. "He just drew it on my back and I loved it and that was it."



The face is female, her eyes are closed and she has a mouth bit that represents her silence.







Despite the face's eyes being closed, she indicated that the "third eye" in the middle of the forehead is open. The third eye can be interpreted many ways, but often refers to looking inward and a greater consciousness.



Thanks to Aisha for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
