EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print from September 1979, we witness an extraordinary bond between tattooist Jimmy Gould and his client Brian Cowell. The image captures a unique moment in time when Gould has made the unconventional decision to purchase Cowell's skin, forever immortalizing their connection through art. The photograph transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a 1970s tattoo parlor, where body art was still considered taboo by many. Amidst the buzzing needles and colorful ink bottles, Gould stands proudly beside his masterpiece - an intricately designed tattoo adorning Cowell's skin. It is evident that this artwork holds great significance for both men. What makes this scene truly remarkable is the exchange taking place: not money or goods but something far more personal. By acquiring Cowell's skin, Gould symbolically takes ownership of their shared experience and transforms it into a tangible piece of artistry. This act speaks volumes about the trust and camaraderie that exists within the world of tattoos. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how tattoos can transcend mere decoration; they become living canvases carrying stories and memories etched onto flesh. Tattooist Jimmy Gould and his client Brian Cowell have forged an unbreakable bond through their collaboration on this mesmerizing piece of body art – a testament to the power of self-expression captured within one frame from Memory Lane Prints' extensive collection.
