Danielle Distefano's "100 Ladies" Gallery Show

Girls, girls, girls. No reason to push and shove. You’re all leading ladies in our book. Just ask Danielle Distefano.

This month, the vegan tattoo artist (admire her animal-free ink work at Grant Park’s Only You Tattoo) puts her quill skills to paper with 100 Ladies — an art gallery debut featuring as many stylized paintings of the fairer sex.

Detailed watercolor paper portraits pay ode to one of Distefano’s favorite ink subjects. Bare-shouldered, rouged femme fatales cut eyes at sepia flappers with finger-wave bobs. Bonneted lasses vie with bowler-clad, midcentury city slickers for attention.

Luckily, each framed, numbered piece is available for sale once the show comes down.

So there’s plenty of face time to go around.

On display through August 30 at Young Blood Gallery & Boutique, 636 North Highland Avenue, Poncey-Highland (404-254-4127).
