Old tattoo photos

[David Flores]

This is a picture of my friends dad from the early 70's showing off his mustache and Pinky Yun Tattoo. He also had some Lyle Tuttle tattoos.

These two pieces were done on this vietnamese dude I tattoo 30+ years ago in Hong Cong. Don't know anymore than that, and that they were awesome!

I dunno if this belongs here or not...but I it seems like a good fit. It's just a cool old ad I found on the interwebz

[The Hyena]

Before the creation of "The Marlboro Man" all Marlboro ads featured men with hand tattoos. Fucking crazy. I have a few clipped. Also, that shit up there is upside down. Hahaha

I've found these from a few different blogs and sites around the interwebs (the third photo is hot!)

Sorry Shannon to be honest I have no idea, are you referring to the first picture in the first post? Kyle mentioned that it was an image from the Nihon Dentou series, which is published by Tattoo Burst. Hope this helps in some way?

I snatched these awesome pics from Jason Schroder's blog. Amazing shots of Cliff Raven's work circa 1982-86.Do they qualify as old?

a friend's father started getting tattooed in 1949. he was the first guy i remember as a kid seeing tattoos on. he told me his first few were from Dad Libertys' in old Scolley Sq, Ma. i had my friend send me some photos. these are a few of my favorites. unfortunately they are small phone pics, but you can still tell what's going on.

That stinker skunk is great!

i got the same one tattooed on me a couple of years ago and was stoked when i received these photos. amazing how long some images last.

Very cool. I have a small collection of old time tattoos from NYC. Just people I come across at the shop or on the streets. I will upload when i get a chance (all of my pics are scattered on external hard drives, etc.). A friend of mine had a beautiful panther head by Brooklyn Blackie. He was always asking me to fix it up, (was just a bit faded, but really cool). I told him it was a piece of history and I didn't want to change it. Eventually he had someone else rework it. I was kinda bummed about it but I guess he just really couldn't stand it.
