Portland Ink

Posted on 10:52 by blogger
There's a great post today at Strange Maps about the city of Portland, inspired by an unusual tattoo.
Fixing her regional loyalty in indelible ink on skin, Julia had a map of Portland, ME tattooed on her shoulder. A comparison with the more conventional map on the right indicates that her tat clearly shows the Portland peninsula, the Fore River, Back Cove and surrounding coastline, plus a large part of the road network connecting Maine’s biggest city to its hinterland.
