“How Much?!?”
“For that tattoo it’s £70.”
At this point he rolls up his sleeve to reveal a large hawk tattoo on his forearm.
“That cost me £6 twenty years ago.”
“And I am sure twenty years ago you where earning nowhere near as much as you are now.”
“……”
It stands to reason that prices have risen over the last x amount of years. No-one thinks twice about paying more for clothing than they did twenty years ago but for some reason they expect the price of tattooing to have frozen. Bizarre.
So what’s been happening of late? To be honest not much that is post worthy. All the dramas of a newly opened studio have passed and now we are onto pretty smooth sailing. There was a point a while back when there was the worry that it could be over before it had really begun when the building we are in went on the market but even at that it turned out for the best as one of the terms of sale was that all outstanding leases are honoured.
As of yesterday Leon Has left the shop in the “capable hands” of Matt and myself as he and his family return over to Skippyland for the festive season. Yep he is going to be celebrating Christmas in the swimming pool with some nice cold beers in the middle of Australia’s summer … the bastard. We will try and make sure he doesn’t return to the burned out shell of what once was Chameleon Tattoos.
And that’s pretty much it, it is getting harder to write anything that I think would be of interest but if I do, rest assured you will be the first to know. | | | |

How about some picture of the stuff you guys have done over the last few months. Though you might need permission I suppose.

Yup would be good to see maybe a weekly sum up or month or something of the work that was done. Obviously just the highlights, theres only so many rangers/celtic logos you can take
