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

Yeah good luck Pete, it would make a nice change and add some colour to the area (forgive the unintentional pun). East Dulwich isnt the most obvious place to set up shop to be honest but maybe the locals are more adventurous than we're giving them credit for. I don't know if there are many tattooists in the surrounding areas so you might be able to attract business from Peckham, Herne Hill, Forest Hill etc if you market it properly. I think people are often put off of tattoo parlours because they can look quite intimidating so it would help if you made yours look approachable. Blacked out windows tend to deter the curious!

Are you planning to have a website? Doesnt have to be fancy or expensive but any kind of online presence helps you reach out to other areas, show off your work and give people an idea of what they should expect to pay.


I'm not a website designer touting for business, by the way!

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

I know you're only kidding, but... in Islingon there's a tattooist just down the road from Waitrose.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
