Good evening.
At last a sunny day to go out. I caught the 1 o clock bus to town and walked back home. So what did I see. Always have the camera ready.
I have never seen this shop before. Was quite surprised to see a big corner shop in a prominent position trading as a tattoo artist. They are usually in out of the way places in a back room. I went into the jewelers shop opposite and asked how long they had been there. The lady inside said they moved in just before Christmas. She said they are from Mary Street, a much smaller shop, and they are doing quite well since they came here. As I walked through the town I saw a man with trousers cut off at the knees. The whole of his lower legs were covered in tattoos. Maybe we will see more of these shops opening up, if covering yourself in ink is becoming popular.
I caught sight of a poster advertising a FunFair, on a telegraph pole.
And a bit further along I saw them setting it up. Good opportunity to take some photo's. I went through the gate and asked permission. They were a friendly bunch. It's a huge amount of work to get these fairgrounds set up.
Of course it was an opportunity to talk trucks. They certainly looked very tidy and well looked after.
You don't see many ERF's about now. My favourite truck.
By the time I was crossing the last of the turf fields the sun made one last attempt to show it's face. This is my favourite tree. The top of it looks a bit chopped about and is missing a limb or two.
I really enjoyed that walk. Didn't expect to see a FunFair. That was a bonus. Get yourself out there if you can.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona

I can't see the attraction of tattoos, but there seems to be a trend at the moment. Facial and neck inking looks awful, in my opinion.
DeleteI bet you had lots of fun Talking Trucks! There used to be a Fun Fair at the bottom of our road when we were growing up and we loved going on the Waltzer. The more you screamed, the more they spun you!
ReplyDeleteI used to love being thrown around on the rides when I was a teenager. Not so much now, would probably be sick. I think I would be well suited to work at a funfair. Setting up, chatting to the punters, then upping sticks and moving to a new location. I really enjoyed working on Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
DeleteTattoos used to be popular but now they are falling out of fashion. I am currently having laser removal on a tattoo on my left arm, it is very dense black ink and will take a long time to remove, the average time for tattoo removal is 3-5 years, and I've had 10 sessions so far, I estimate I'll need 15-18. If I could go back I'd have had no tattoos, and I warn others away from them. Most of them were done in my late teens/early 20s, and they don't look quite the same when you get to your late 30s. I always say its like wearing the same tshirt for the rest of your life - you will change as a person but the tattoos don't.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds horrendous, thank you for sharing your story. Skin is the biggest organ in your body, and to willfully destroy it will have consequences. People can change their outward appearance but it's what's inside that matters. I hope you get the look you want when the treatment is finished.
