The Inked Up Playlist!

Second hand shops are my hot hot sex. Some days living in London is expensive beyond belief so unless you're into five finger discounts or the no-food diet, it's markets, thrift stores and charity shops all the way!! Today I scored a complete bargain in a second hand bookstore on Tottenham Court road; The Taschen '1000 Tattoos' compendium of inked up crazies across the ages for £6 - SIX FREAKIN' POUNDS!! It's almost worth it just for the woman with "No meat on FRIDAY?" tattooed on her jardin de dame alone. So in honour of this treasured find, I have assembled a few tattoo themed tracks for your aural delight!

There's a weird L theme going on here too; I'm slapping a couple of Laura's and some Long Blondes right on your mp3 players hos!

The Long Blondes - Swallow Tattoo

Laura Burhenn - Tattoo

Laura Veirs - Don't Lose Yourself

Disclaimer: Ok, so Don't Lose Yourself isn't really a tattoo themed song, but Miss Veirs does sing "admired your divine tattoos" in a kind of cute way so it's all gravy baby.
