Re: Pornography... In and around a tattoo shop, what's your take on this?
I read this in the "Scottish Tattoo History" Thread. Thought it might be interesting to add here.
"Around the 1950's there was part-time tattooist who worked in Glasgow's famous Barras market called 'Dirty Dick'. Very little is known about him other that the fact that he worked in the back of a shop in the Spoutmouth area of the market that also sold pornographic magazines. It is this line of merchandise that earned him his nickname and not the fact that he worked under filthy conditions when tattooing as previously thought."

Johnny McNeillie still tattoos in the Barras to this day
Remember up until a few years ago hardcore porn was prohibited in the uk so you could only get "under the counter" vids in the right rental stores, or find a shady stall in the barras that sold it. I havent been to the Barras in ages its mostly head shops and bootleg games/dvd's there , I dont doubt someone is selling scratcher equipment there too , nothing would surprise me about that place !

Having magazines with somewhat tasteful nudes is not a problem. Having gaping holes and chicks being sprayed with cum out in public is low class. Those mags are made for private viewing. Yeah I judge people. So what. Anyway, I have nothing against porn. But a smart business man/woman wouldn't have such red flags out in the open for "just anybody" to see. My 2 cents. I mean if you have hustler in your lobby, chances are some creep is gonna jagoff in your bathroom. You think they won't? Think again. You wanna clean that up? Most shops get playboy delivered free these days. We keep them in the office. They would just get stolen anyway.
