Antiques

So when people come into the shop and have really old tattoos and want us to cover them up or re-do them I try and tell them how awsome the old tattoos are and get them stoked on having them the way they are. Its something that is very interesting to me not only to think that these old tattooers who did these tattoos are dead but that there are some assholes out there covering them and saying they can make them way better. Not only is the old tattoo attitude dying but the amazing work they were doing is dying, not only dying on the skin of the person who will pass on but dying because some prick thinks its an honour to re-work these old tattoos. If one asshole reads this and thinks twice befor he tries his magic then i am stoked. Just a little rant for today keep the old stuff alive !

Here is a few that have walked into my shop. Enjoy

 1971 - Hong Kong

 1969 - England

1972 - Hong Kong

Dont know the year from this one but it was interesting Jamie told me that when she went into the shop to get tattooed there were two guys sitting there with their shirts off and if you wanted a tattoo then you would just pick one off of them and one of them would do the outline and the other would color it in. I think i remember her saying that they were brothers but im not sure she is a good client at the shop i will get the full story soon.
