Dale Middlesbrough Parlour Robin Sailor Sinbad Tattoo Tattooing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of transformation as Robin Dale, a local resident of Middlesbrough, becomes Sinbad the Sailor. Taken in the 1970s, this image showcases the intricate and detailed tattoo design being inked onto Robin's arm by an unidentified tattoo artist in a small, dimly lit studio. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of history and tradition, as the tattooing process was not yet a common practice in mainstream society. Robin's decision to get a Sinbad tattoo was likely influenced by the popular children's stories and folklore of the same name. Sinbad was a legendary sailor from the Arabian Nights, known for his adventurous voyages and encounters with mythical creatures. The tattoo's intricate design includes the iconic figure of Sinbad on a ship, surrounded by various sea creatures and symbols of the sailor's journey. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of tattooing in the 1970s. The tattoo studio, hidden away in Middlesbrough, was likely a place of secrecy and exclusivity, where individuals sought out unique and meaningful body art. The process was undoubtedly painful, but the resulting tattoo was a badge of honor and a symbol of personal expression. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of tattooing, and the personal stories that lie behind each and every design. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the art form, which continues to captivate and inspire individuals around the world.
