Default Building A Tattoo Parlor

I've been busy building Granny's Tattoo Parlor. Got the basic shape made and the mount completed. Now comes all the smaller details. There will be a fire hydrant at the open end of the sidewalk and I've thought about a dog doing his business but have issues with it being in poor taste. Any suggestions. Also, a cat curling around Granny's legs keeping an eye on that canine might be interesting. Have pretty well figured out all the signage.

The big shop window and the one on the door will be glass but you won't be able to see through them. Probably covered with the signage. The sidewalk will be concrete with maybe a little snow along the edges of the building being as Granny has her woolies on.

As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome and there are a few more photos on the Blog.

Can't wait to see it all finished! I love the "off the beaten path" idea.

Lynn: Another winner! I'm curious as to the dimensions of this piece. How tall is Granny and how tall to the top of the store wall? BTW, Texas Skip is winner. Love it..

Lynn,

Great idea--unique! Just have the dog checking for "messages" from his pals at the hydrant--everybody does that, right?!?!? LOL

The store front is 12" square. So that would make Granny about 8-9" tall.
