Hi Internet


I am currently new to the area and am putting together a business plan for opening a tattoo shop, along lordship lane or along by the actress pub or near abouts.


How do you, as a community, feel about this? Do you feel as an up and coming town, this would be well received? Given the fashion and style of the town and the surrounding area.


Please any feedback would be very much appreciated, good or bad and be as harsh as you like.




Thanks, Pete

Yeah good luck Pete, it would make a nice change and add some colour to the area (forgive the unintentional pun). East Dulwich isnt the most obvious place to set up shop to be honest but maybe the locals are more adventurous than we're giving them credit for. I don't know if there are many tattooists in the surrounding areas so you might be able to attract business from Peckham, Herne Hill, Forest Hill etc if you market it properly. I think people are often put off of tattoo parlours because they can look quite intimidating so it would help if you made yours look approachable. Blacked out windows tend to deter the curious!

Are you planning to have a website? Doesnt have to be fancy or expensive but any kind of online presence helps you reach out to other areas, show off your work and give people an idea of what they should expect to pay.


I'm not a website designer touting for business, by the way!

Hi PhilPhilPhil


Yes a website is almost certainly in the pipeline. I can design websites myself using Dreamweaver and just notepad and HTML. I dont know every detail but I can do the basics. But thank you, you're right and a website would be extremly beneficial.


Thank you


Pete

I know you're only kidding, but... in Islingon there's a tattooist just down the road from Waitrose.
