In this piece there sits a partially bald white Male navy sailor with a white muscle shirt on with black pants, his black navy uniform is hanging on his lap, and a black US sailor hat hanging on the back of his head.This sailor is holding a white object in his hands which are resting in his lap- I cannot make out what it is. His hands are chubby, but, he is not. The back of his hands are tattooed; ONLY the back of his hands -- not the finger tips. Moving up on his left arm, on his bicep, he has multiple tattoos which are American traditional. An American traditional is “old school” it refers to a western or a traditional American tattoo style featuring black outlines and a limited color palette. These tattoos do not cover his full arm, there

What these drawings are made into are crosses, flags, women, hearts, the American flag, and boats; the background is faded which makes the American tritional drawings transparent. The colors used to fill these drawings are basic colors like: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White, and so on and so forth. Every drawing is outlined with the color Black. In front of this sailor sits is a male tattoo artist with a [tattoo] gun in his right hand, leaning in and writing out the name “Betty” he is sitting on a silver briefcase with a blue towel hanging from the back. This tattoo artist has messy unbrushed hair, It sticks up. He is dressed with a pink button up flannel, a grey vest on over the pink flannel, some socks that go to the calf which is colored in the same exact pink just like the flannel, he has brown house slippers on, the pants he is wearing are faded grey they seem very loose so he has to put on a brown leather belt to keep them up. In the back of his pockets he has objects sitting straight up, these objects are: in his left pocket, it seems like he has a brown wallet, and in his right there is a pair of facial shears, with only the handle sticking …show more content…
The size is 43 ⅛ x 33 ⅛ in. And it is located in a Brookline musume. This subject of this oil painting is taken place in a room I would say a tattoo parlor shop. When I first saw this painting the first thing my eyes went to is the background I enjoy the American traditional style very much in this oil painting. What I saw next is the names being crossed out I thought it was silly but of course there is a meaning behind it -- history. From there I moved to the tattoo artist and what he is wearing, such a light pink color. Men would not dare to wear pink back in the day. That is when I realized the man he is tattooing is a Sailor. And that's when all emotion went into this painting. The artist achieved a very strong meaning with this painting-- tattoos are permanent just like the names of the five women. Rockwell did a fantastic job with this oil painting. First off with the size he used the space nicely the two men in the photo do not cover up the entire canvas and they’re straight in the middle which to me is very pleasing, also, the color in his work they are all realistic, there is not any ‘wacky’ colors or really any that pops out. The story behind this painting goes straight to the six names on the sailor's arm. The sailor, is adding to his collection of female names on his bicep - the name “Betty” the sailors new love. The other five names Sadie, Rosietta, Ming Fu, Olga, and Sing Lee all have a black
