Time Bomb Tattoo Parlor and Curiosities – Frederick Maryland

On our first evening walking down Market Street I looked up and noticed a two-headed calf in one of the windows. The business that it was drawing attention to was closed but I had to know more. What kind of place would used a two-headed cow to draw in customers?? As it turns out it was a tattoo parlor and curiosity shop. We vowed to come back in daylight which we did.

We all walked in to poke at the curiosities and although this was a small shop it had some weird things… mostly well done taxidermy dressed up in Victorian clothing. Odd but lovable. There was also a few steam punky things, some jewelry, and a reproduction of a two headed baby skeleton. It had a very freak show kind of feel to the place but in a good way. Like celebrating the weird and eccentric.

Sadly they didn’t have any flash on the wall that I could see so I have no idea what kind of tattoos this shop specialized in, if any. None of us got a tattoo soooo this will remain a mystery but it was definitely worth a little looksee either way.

Progress Continues on Daisy the Catching Marbles Art Car…

I haven’t driven Daisy much lately. She’s in need of a few repairs I am saving up for so I have been only using her for local errands while borrowing other cars to go on my adventures. This is slightly distressing. I love Daisy! But today I took her all the way to Keene and had a hilarious few moments with her. People stopped to check her out, take photos, call people to tell them what a fun art car they found in the parking lot, and later when I was driving I got a big dump trunk happily honking at me and a teenage girl giggling excitedly as she saw me drive up to the intersection. So I decided tonight I was going to go back to work on getting her fully covered in Sharpie tattoos… She deserves it, and I love how she can make people laugh and smile. So here’s showing Daisy some love! She’s got a new trunk tatt!

If you are enjoying Catching Marbles please consider adding a dollar or two to my limited gas money fund so I can continue going on adventures and sharing them with you! Thank you!
