EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from July 1964, 14-year-old Joseph Daugherty proudly displays some of the 60 intricate tattoos adorning his arms and torso. This image was captured at Shotton Hall County Modern School in County Durham, where Joseph and thirty of his classmates had received their tattoos from the same local artist, Ernie Franks. The 1960s were a time of rebellion and self-expression, and the phenomenon of teenage tattoos was not unheard of. However, the news of these young boys getting inked raised eyebrows and sparked controversy. The Durham County Education Authorities were quick to announce an inquiry into the matter, expressing concern over the potential impact on the students' education and future prospects. Despite the impending investigation, Ernie Franks remained unfazed. He claimed that the boys brought him written consent from their parents, which he had kept on file. The exact circumstances surrounding these permissions remain unclear, but the image of Joseph and his friends, each showing off their unique and colorful tattoos, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of youthful rebellion and the power of body art to mark one's identity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the freedom and self-expression that defined the 1960s, as well as the controversy and moral debates that often accompanied it. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer for the Daily Mirror, has been preserved and brought to life once more through Memory Lane Prints, allowing us to revisit a moment in history that continues to fascinate and inspire.
