So excited about this collection of truly historic Northwest tattoo ephemera! These tattoo flash acetates were created by artist ‘Painless Brenda’ in the 1980s. She and her husband ‘Professor Rex’ ran what was once the only tattoo shop in the Northwest. She started tattooing in the 1970s, he started in the late 1930s. Today tattoo stencils are typically applied using a thermal transfer sheet, but these acetates were once a common way to apply a design. These pieces would make great gifts for a tattoo enthusiast— they are hard to photograph since they are clear, but would look great framed on a dark background. Or for practicing tattooers, they could still be used to apply a stencil and could be a fun historic novelty to offer to tattoo clients. These are absolutely one of a kind, so grab ‘em while you can!

Fresh & fleshy new arrival highlights this week! 🤢😂 Got a whole stack of 1990s Horror erotica for you literary freaks, shout out to ONDWW for putting these in my awareness. Preserved leeches have been restocked and now come display-ready in their own vintage jewelry boxes. Snagged a beat up copy of one of my fav books of vintage tattoo photos, some real jaw-droppers in there. And last but not least, a Fijian Cannibal Fork! This one is a tourist replica, but beautifully hand carved with inlaid shell accents.
