Outside Tabboo Tattoo

This is from last week.

I caught the bus home from Nottingham at a bus stop on Mansfield Road rather than the city centre (I'd walked through the Arboretum Park).

The bus stop was outside the entrance to Tabboo Tattoo.

Our bus stops have "real time" display that inform you when your bus is due.

As the display read two minutes to my bus arriving, the door to Tabboo Tattoo opened and Ro and Kellie appeared in the doorway for a "breath of fresh air".

I didn't have time to get a back story to be included in my strangers project, but I did get a good street shot.
Great shot. I wouldn't want to tangle with the women from Tabboo Tattoo, though!

I agree with @ankers70 certainly not to be tangoed with , in fact dubious if I would step inside even if I was interested in a tattoo !!

You did indeed, very striking!

A great pair of characters. Excellent shot in limited time!

You certainly find some characters. You did well in 2 minutes.

An interesting pair of characters! Well captured.

Umm, I wonder about "getting a breath of fresh air." It looks like the one on the left is polluting the air.

They are an interesting pair.

Wonderful "quick" capture, Phil. I would have loved to hear their stories. What a great feature to have real time displays for the bus arrival.

I like the lady on the right. Confident enough to keep her gray hair, very direct look into the camera.....yeah...

@skipt07 hey, you are absolutely right!

I like your capture of these women, but I have to agree with Skip about a smoke for a breath of fresh air.

Wonderful image of these two.

Great photo of these two ladies. I'm not a lover of tattoos but especially on the face

Great shot - well done making the most of those two minutes

very down to earth characters

Fabulous street shot, Phil. Fav. The younger lady has a face that resembles that of my brother's daughter who could be of the same age. But this is just a coincidence.

Great capture, very interesting looks they are giving you

You are the King of street portraits Phil. Amazing capture. And taken while waiting for your bus! Well done.
