Walking around the streets of London, one sees various street art. Paintings, cement drawings, post cards, and a personal favorite of mine: graffiti. London is a megacity, home to a diverse population from different background, and everyone has their own form self expression. Graffiti is such an activity.
Walking in Southwark near the Imperial War Museum, I cam across this tattoo shop. Although the various types are in the decorative family, they are very different. The type, mixed with the colors, and images like skulls, a heart, and the skyline of London, make for an intriguing image. The above white sign seems to contrast with the metal garage door, but somehow it works. Sure they could have made a better choice, but I think that highlights to diversity styles and people of London.
