Sean Hobden was the youngest member of the Old Timers Tattoo Club
when it was formed in 1989. He was privileged to hear the stories
of the last of the old time character showmen tattooists when
tattooing was still a part of the underworld and hadn't yet gone
mainstream and become popularised. Now you can hear the stories of
the legends of tattooing from the last century that were told to
the author first hand. Read how street shop walk in tattooists
dealt with the many drunks and long queues. Humorous accounts and
anecdotes of Ron Ackers, Painless Jeff, Cockney Paul, Benn Gun,
Barry Louvaine, Charlie bell, Jock of Kings Cross and many more.
Many old time trade secrets such as "Three waying" and the "Vanity
sink" are revealed, as they are no longer needed in modern
tattooing. The book also covers old school politics and serves as a
social history of the last part of the previous century. The book
now has it's own website so that you can see photos of characters
