Took these off a homeless dude after money in Angel today he didnt really talk alot of sense so i couldn’t get where they were from who did them either way i think they’re pretty cool! I’m also guessing his name is stephen as he had it tattooed in 2 banners!
I was called up at work by a guy who had alot of old ink to show so he came down to the shop and i took some photos of his old pieces!
The dark eagle and swallow were tattooed by George Burchet in 1967 at his shop at Waterloo. He remebered going to George’s shop and said there was always 5 people waiting and 1 person getting tattooed. One day he went there to get tattooed he said some tough guys pushed to the front of the que and one of them asked for a 2 inch lions head on his arm, when George started tattooing the guy made him stop after a few minutes, got up out the chair and passed out trying to walk out for some air!
The devil, geisha, skull with top hat, perched eagle, peacock, dagger, and panther were all tattooed by Rob Robinson during the 60s. The guy remebers the dagger cost him £2.50 and the total amount of his tattoos added up to something 
like £20!
Yet again Mr Antony from Evil from the needle gives us an awesome photo of an awesome tattoo! he has all the luck finding these! he can’t remember who did it but the photo was taken in Lancaster. The tattoo looks as though it is a cover up, still looks great though!
These tattoos were sent in by Roger Hearn, he said they were tattooed around 1970-71 in Bath by a guy called Steve! They rule!
This tattoo was made in portsmouth UK in 1984. The owner didnt remember who did the tattoo, so if anybody has any ideas who it may have been, let us know!
These tattoos are all on the same dude, there were tattooed in the late 60s early 70s by Rob Robinson UK. The tattoo on his neck was by an unknown artist from Earlsfield UK. If anybody has any information or could shed some light on the artist we would appreciate it!
These tattoos were done by Barry Louvaine UK during the 80s, i think they look killer together!!!
These 3 tattoos were made by Ian Frost UK who used to work in West Croydon. They were tattooed in 1974, the owner can remember the price he payed for the eagle which was £2.75 and the rose £1.80. These pictures were taken by Chris from True Tattoo Croydon
These tattoos were done by Ian Frost and Rob Robinson both artists from the UK during the early 70s. The tattoos are all on the same Gentleman, he cant remember who did although he remebers the panther was Rob and the eagle was Ian.
This tattoo was sent in by John Kent. The tattoo was done by Rob Robinson in 1973, It was advertised at £5.50 but he remembers paying more because of the amount of extra work that Rob had to do (Maybe about £8.00 ish). It was worked over an existing hand poked Tattoo and some pretty bad scarring where John had tried to remove it. It’s stood up to the last 37 years pretty well considering the condition of the skin that Rob had to work with, the outline is still solid but a fair bit of loss on the colour of the rose. John had really messed up his arm and is am still grateful to this day that Rob made his arm presentable again as he says, he was sure that a lot of Tattooers wouldn’t have touched the job with a barge pole, Rob gave him tea and biscuits because he didn’t complain, although it was pretty painful! John really liked Rob, he says he had great sense of humour and very talented 100% freehander!
