Vintage kid tattoo books for sale

By at 1:25 pm Wednesday, Nov 21

Shine gallery sells beautiful little transfer picture books -- the kind that make blotchy and unrecognizable ink tattoos.

They also sell lots of other fun trinkets from the 30s through the 60s. The ACID and LSD buttons would make good stocking stuffers, and the giant Shriners fez table is to die for.
