Platform 13 is like a 3rd world platform at the minute. uneven, muddy crags, puddles everywhere and leaks...crikey.

Thanks very much. what about the East Dulwich Hospital? is that a GP as well?

Hey everyone, Just wondering where the local East Dulwich GP is? I need to sign up to a NHS doctors surgery around here and need a health check. Do you know where it is located? Thanks

Wow, after nearly a year there is still feedback on this site. Negative or positive, this has all been very helpful and shows a good solid community. Thanks for your support

I apologise, I have been trying to keep up-to-date with all the entries here, I did not think i would get this many responses. I apologise if I may have come across misleading, that was not my intentions at all and I mean that very sincerley. DulwichFox - Please take no offense but Private messages should remain private I feel. No I would not be the artist nor would I discuss work that one of the artists would do, of course I would direct clients and get them in the direction that they want to go, you see alot of the time a client will come in with a tiny idea of what they want with no pictures or examples. Its common you will get "hi I want a tattoo, something religious with a cross" very vague and hard for an artist to depict exactly what they have in mind, so it would be me to help or guide them into something, encourage them to go back, have a real think, bring examples etc. I have good knowledge of the industry and know what can or cant be done. Many shops I have been too have a manager running the show and not an artist themselves. Please check out "Urban Ink" as this is a fine example of a shop run by a non artist. Of course I can see how people would at first be discomforted by perhaps a shop being run by a non artist, but its the artist you would be having consultations with and the artist who would be doing your work. I hope I have been helpful and cleared some air. I am trying to pop in and out as much as I can and like I said before, all your feedback is greatly appreciated. Things are coming along nicely at present but its very hard work and this is not even the beginning haha. Cheers everyone

Horsebox Apologies for not getting back to you I will be making a Facebook page with alot of examples of the work my artists have produced. Please be patient as there is alot to do but I will of course keep all of the forum up to date when I get some portfolio's and some images that I can really use. Thanks Pete

Hi DulwichFox Im certainly very serious about the plan. The activity on the forum is more than I had hoped and im taking note on ALL your opinions and views. Try and stay on topic and not to get too caught up in arguments and stereotyping, thats not what im trying to achieve in the slightest. Thanks Pete

Please try and steer away from associating tattoo's and artists with drugs/alcohol. Tattoo artists are very professional and drug/alcohol free who take their work and customers very seriously. Thanks for all your feedback. Everyone has been very helpful and I have taken everything into considering. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Please feel free to message me. Pete

Im really happy to see alot of views and replies over the weekend. I will be going through all the responses slowly today and answering any questions or concerns you have brought up. From what i've seen there's some very positive views and thanks everyone for your support and feedback, good or bad, its all very helpful. I'll stay on the forums and perhaps post a few more questions about the area if you dont mind me sticking around. Thank you Pete

Hi PhilPhilPhil Yes a website is almost certainly in the pipeline. I can design websites myself using Dreamweaver and just notepad and HTML. I dont know every detail but I can do the basics. But thank you, you're right and a website would be extremly beneficial. Thank you Pete

This is all fantastic feedback. All points are being taken onboard. Please let me know what you think Thanks Pete

Like I say, im just thinking about it and drawing up the business plan, this is all part of my market research. Thanks for your feeback. Please anymore would be very helpful Thanks Pete

Hi Internet I am currently new to the area and am putting together a business plan for opening a tattoo shop, along lordship lane or along by the actress pub or near abouts. How do you, as a community, feel about this? Do you feel as an up and coming town, this would be well received? Given the fashion and style of the town and the surrounding area. Please any feedback would be very much appreciated, good or bad and be as harsh as you like. Thanks, Pete
