They also have a website with more images of their work, for the curious.

Oh man, I really want one of these. This is too perfect for a history nerd like me (along with the hypothetical shop that specializes in Victorian designs).

That's really neat! I want to see all the design blocks.

I guess I knew that tattoos have been around for a long time, but I never would have thought that tattoo shops existed so long ago.

This. This is where I want to get my tattoo. I'm not even religious, but ink that history into me, please!
