Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tyneside Tattooist
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tyneside Tattooist
Thanks Mark. I'm the one looking for the lyrics. The Tyneside Tattooist is a monologue I heard once at a folk club in the UK. It was presented by one of the High-Level Ranters as I recall. It tells the story of a tattooist who completely covers a woman in his fine art. He wants to marry her but she instead marries a club owner and becomes a stripper! The last line of the monologue goes: "...but all the blokes that admire her, know the work was done by me, 'cos I signed it, 'cross her bottom, wi' me name!"

I would really appreciate anyone helping to find this masterpiece. Thanks Graham
