A Trip Down Memory Lane

Very inviting outside, even if I don't want any tattoo...

Oooh, you should............just a little one :-)))

The facade and advertisement are appealing...the interior for me is not
Very well captured, Keith

Great capture, Keith!

the perfect compo! and a nice subject ( ove the motorbike in front)

Yes, I do agree, thinking that most tattoos depict scenes from the past I think. Love the sailing ship scenes. Nice one.

Cheers. Herb

Magnifique composition. Je n'arrivais pas à identifier cette belle vieille moto. L'agrandissement m'a permis de voir que c'était une Triumph. Ces motos avaient quand même une autre allure que les motos d'aujourd'hui.. L'ambiance picturale était-elle la même lorsque tu as faire ton 1er tatouage ?

I think the frontage looked pretty much the same............on a bit grungier............the whole area has been modernised over the years and the places under the railway arches are nearly all gone now.

groot is die heel mooi--wel interessant ,maar ik heb geen tattoages,voetballers zullen daar wel klant zijn ;-))

This tattoo parlour is around 500meters from the Royal Navy dockyard Fred............in my day most of the customers would probably have been sailors like me..!!

Tattoos have become more "trendy" nowadays, so I guess the customers could be anyone (including footballers). Glad you found it interesting!

What fabulous wall art Keith! It has been there for a long time then! Tattoos have become very popular. Has it always had such a good outside wall?

I think the wall art has been there forever - probably since it opened although it looks like it's been touched up over the years. According to the plaque above the door the tattoo parlour has been there since 1963.

Thank you to everyone who has visited and/or left comments on this image. Much appreciated.

I won't tell you where my first tattoo was done Makes me cringe thinking about it :-) !!! The second one wasn't much better, Margate sea front after a few beers. Must be a reputable business to have survived all those years.
Bud Flannigan comes to mind here Keith.

Ha, ha..........I have at least one that I hate...........but they're all part of my journey through life and I don't regret any of them :-))

The tattoo parlour has been there since 1963 Maurice and it's only about 500 yards from the Naval Dockyard, so there's no shortage of customers!

Bud Flanagan...............ooh, you're showing your age a bit mate :-)))

It sure would do well if the tattoos are as good as the wall art!

They seem to be pretty good at what they do Eunice!

Belle décoration de façade

Thanks Roland..............i agree it's very impressive!

Eine schön gestaltete Ladenfront. Und am richtigen Ort unter der Eisenbahnbrücke, damit man die Schmerzensschreie nicht hört ;-)
Ich lasse nur beim Arzt Nadeln an meinen Körper. Bin zum Glück schon geboostert.
