Dan S Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Excellent shots, Kyle. Do you think that the styles have "evened-out" betwixt the States and England? I mean, I know those are older pix, but they look more like pix from the States from maybe the late fifties, and Rusty started getting work in what, 61 or 62?

Its interesting to note that around the mid-fifties there was a tattooing international exchange programme of sorts that saw both Milton Zeiss and Al Schiefley vist our shores and vice versa for Les Skuse . I also recall Skuse having the greatest admiration and probably duly influenced by Tatts Thomas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatts Thomas would explain a lot...her work looks somehow older than it is, and Tatts had been workign for a looooong time by the mid-fifties. I imagine she would have only been able to see him, tho', if what I've read about her is correct, she didn't start getting tattoed until the early sixties. I think it's the placement of the pieces that makes me think the work is older looking, that and the type of pieces. Gonna hafta try and dig up some more pix of her-what a trip!

Dan S Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Cool pictures again @Dan S , a nice mix of hairy bikers and womens boobs and butts........! Ah, the bad old days! Ya know, if you aren't as ancient as I am, you probably wouldn't notice, but a LOT of the tattoos are copies of artwork, especially Dave Mann stuff, that appeared in Easyriders in the early years.

Dan S Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Rusty Skuse , unknown middle lady tattooed by Horihide Kazou Oguri , Mitsuaki Ohwada . Excellent tighty-whiteys! Had to have been taken in Japan...they had some truly brutal censorship laws there. A shame, that's a truly Kool pic...I'da loved to have seen more of them.

Dan S Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Seems that Photobucket doesn't like some of thse old pix I've been putting up, don't know if someone complained, or they just have some old bluenose that sniffs through everyone's stuff to find a pic of a nipple, but anyhow, here are retouched pix to replace those that have been, or may be, taken down by PB. Sorry if they make some duplicates, but if they are still there in a few weeks, or whenever, hey, take 'em down! kylegrey, ILikePie, The Tig and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Photobucket's a prude like that. They took down one of my pics years ago because it showed my own tattooed ass. C'est la guerre.
