Mokofusion Tattoo Studio

.
During our last trip to Whangarei while my daughter was busy with her appointment I took my camera and went walkies. A couple of streets away I spotted this painted mural on the side of a tattoo studio, I can only work out a portion of the words which say "Barbers and Tattoos".

This particular studio, Mokofusion Tattoo and Barbers is located in Walton Street and seems to have no particular style they specialise in. I really like this one. I have 3 tattoos on my body that were very carefully thought out before I got them. The first one on the back of my neck is mostly coloured orange and is 2 koi fish swimming in the opposite direction because of my star sign, the second one I got was on my upper chest, a small one of an Irish 4 leaf clover in honour of my Irish ancestry. The third one I got was on my right arm of a mermaid, I plan to get the whole arm coloured in different types of ocean creatures as I really love the sea but this takes money that I don't have.

Linking up this week with Monday Murals and Our World Tuesday.

btw I have some more news for you...

It's an age thing. I grew up in a seaport where the only people with tattoos were seamen (who were also the only men who wore a single gold ring in their ear). Obviously living in New Zealand I got used to tattoos everywhere and now it's pretty much the same in the UK. One of the nurses in my practice (a lady of very generous proportions) is covered (she tells me almost totally but I've taken her word for that) in tattoos. Somehow I think when she gets to my age she may not look quite as attractive.

I've seen a couple of tattoo places here that have similar murals on the buildings. I love the colors in this one.

This is a fabulous mural. Really colorful pinks and lavenders. I've never had a tattoo, but I've seen some that are gorgeous.

I find that some murals with letters are quite difficult to decipher. I'm a pisces too, but I have no tattoos, too scared of needles.
Thanks for participating Amy and have a lovely week.

Tattoos have to have a meaning, I agree. Last week I got a corset and had to get rid off my winter clothes. The lady exclaimed, "ohhh, what a sweety" when she saw my Emu-baby and loved the story behind it, too :-)

No strong opinion on tattoos either way here. Your last sentence is a teaser! I’ll stay tuned ))).

To celebrate my retirement I got a tattoo. It was like a life passage event for me. - Margy

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
