Although Drake has done the tattoo of a parachute flanked by two wings before, he drew it to make sure it is exactly how she wants it. They always have some special way they want it done, whether it's all black or with colors. Moneeka Mayo, a political economy senior, wants her wings black with shadows and tattooed on her lower back. Lower back tattoos are the most popular among females, tattoo artist Sean Peters said. Mayo's two friends try to reassure her as she glances at the needle.
Drake says it's rare for a customer to come alone.
Plus, the hairs will get in the way. He places the design, which is on special paper with regular ink on one side and purple on the other, on Mayo's lower back. The purple ink temporarily stains the skin when he puts the paper against it. The paper can be used multiple times if the customer isn't happy with the positioning. Mayo approves the spot.
