maxxi Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Could we not ease into this maybe, and open a transfer shop first?*licks back of hand and presses down on blurry picture of anchor* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfoot Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think having a tattoo shop in the lordship lane or surrounding area might be good with the right artists and a welcoming atmospher , having a few tattoos myself and wishing to add the names of my children to new designs would make me visit, but as for prices that would be the selling point for some clientsjust my op but hope this works as a business plan and should you get it right I will be knocking on the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asset Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm of the understanding that people travel to tattoo parlours on the word of mouth recommendation for the tattoo artist. You can open a tattoo parlour where you like but if no one is interested in the artists you have then you'll just be doing trade in tiny butterflies on the shoulder or tramp stamps......Fair enough but maybe not sufficient to sustain a business.PS - my son wants to be a tattoo artist maybe he can come and do work experience with you when you open.

Otta Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I live the idea, and have been meaning to update my "ink" for years, but never seem to get round to it.Having somewhere local would help.So you do freestyle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joom Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think a tattoo shop would be better around Bellenden Road, it's rather trendy round those parts and has an arty vibe... just my penneth's worth :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 take a place in the indoor market if anywhere - rents in ED are ridiculous I don't think you'd make it work here tbh - but hell what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankito Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Renting some spacewouldbe a good idea, that way you could check that there is demand enough. I wonder if one of the local barbers wouldperhaps rent you some space..I am not into tatoos myself but always keen to support local business..

Miacis Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Please no, I'm begging you. Seriously I have begun to loathe tattoos whereas previously I just didn't want one myself. If you were going to open up coudl I suggest you draw up a code of practice:Nothing on the face or neck - except with written permission from grandchildrenNo Tats for anyone under 25 - with stringent id conditions. all to be hown aged pictures of themselves with tats aged 70I just get so depressed seeing how young people have mutilated themselves for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishDancer Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 A Tattoo shop in Dulwich is definitely needed. Hurry and get the premises up and running!!I welcome a new shop other than a Curry house or Estate agent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
