Hopefully someone will recognize the tattoo. It sounds unique to me.

Perhaps the tattoo artist who designed this will become aware of this in the news and identify the woman, if only anonymously. The police only need the name.

Abby Patterson has a bird tattoo on her shoulder (and connections to Florida) but I can't find any pictures of her tattoo. Her thread: NC - NC - Abby Patterson, 20, Lumberton, 5 Sept 2017

she was suggested above, but someone mentioned they think her tattoo is 3 small birds, but no one has found a pic of it.
Doh! :oops: Thanks @cvaldez1975 I even liked those posts. Obviously, I needed more coffee this morning, lol. Still would be nice to find a picture of Abby's tattoo....
 
I found a really similar tattoo here: The Bohemian Tattoo Club and Gallery : Tattoos : Timothy B Boor : Robin on a cherry tree branch

It's not exactly the same (And obviously on a leg not a shoulder) but I wonder if it came from a book of tattoos.

I did a Google image search earlier and couldn't find any matches that looked like the exact design or artist. There are differences in the bird on the UID, especially the beak and the eye ring (but also other parts of the bird) that stand out from all the other robin tattoos I came across...it did make me wonder what was the source of the design, but I have no idea how tattoo artists work and how close the image would be to the original. I did find one tattoo that looked similar in the little red blossoms, but the bird itself...I couldn't find anything like it.

Without actually looking up a picture of an American robin, the one in your link has a beak that looks like an American robin (I figure that as it looks like the beak of a British blackbird, which would be in the same family), but the one in the UID tat doesn't give the same sense of realistic blackbird beak. Just about all the other 'realistic' looking robin tats had a full eye-ring, whereas this one has a bit above and a bit below. The white patch on the chest, that seems different from other robin tats, and I'd need to look up a picture of the real bird to find out if that's even accurate or not. I have no idea if any of these observations are even relevant, but in evaluating the tattoo all I have to go by is that I think I have a slight bit of an eye for bird ID, and that's all I can really bring to the table...
