collection of vintage tattoo photos

if you go into the cozy back room at this Ossington St. watering hole, you'll find a really fascinating collection of photographs of tatooed men and women from earlier this century - read: when tatooed skin was a sure sign of life outside of the mainstream. Captured in this series are a curious mix of circus performers and other entertainers, prostitutes and strippers, and sailors, as far as I could tell. Have a peek next time you're in.
