I have yet to come up with a term for the phenomenon, but anyone who responds to an inquiry about a visible tattoo with an unprompted unveiling of a covered one, earns a place in Tattoosday lore.
(See some memorable examples here, here, here, and here).
Daniel lifted up his shirt to reveal "the start of a back piece":
He went to Chuck at Broken Heart Tattoos in Keyport, New Jersey, with a general outline and gave the artist the "freedom to shade and color" as he saw fit. Three sessions and nine hours later, Daniel had this kick-ass skull on his back to anchor what will eventually be a much larger piece.
Thanks to Daniel for sharing this awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
