I wonder if this place targeted soldiers and sailors on leave. The old tattoo patterns are fascinating.
Is it just me, or is this guy the creepiest? What a look in his eye. Like a villainous character actor in an old B movie, straight out of Central Casting.
The look in that guy's eyes would scare anybody away! And what's with the target of the women with the skull on her turban. Has she got the "floy floy"?
