Nice editings, Joseph. How do you do the very tiny DoF? (The entrance is perfectly focused and the right is out of focus). I like it a lot, because it attracts my eyes on the most important part of your picture... :-)

Nice effects - I like the shallow DOF as well.

The way you took this photo, it's as if we are in the car, stopped at the corner. You have a unique way of always including your viewer in your shot. I like your photo, I like the effect.

I know what this place is supposed to do Joe! When things go wrong with the tattoo'ing you put the steak on to keep down the bruising!!!! ehe! heh!
I love the mood that you have generated to this image...very old 'era' style...I can imagine some of the old 'Bonny & Clyde gangsters going in there!!!!

Tattoos & Steak? Hmmmmm.....Good capture!

nice capture Joseph. I like things like this a lot.

So you can have you cake and eat it too? Ha ha!! Steak & Pain...whadda combo!!

Splendid capture buddy!! Awesome lighting, shadows and hues!!

hehehehe.. guess they can bite down on the steak when they are getting tattooed.. lol... great shot Jojo...

Thanks everyone.I'm in the mood for another road trip right now:)

Now this looks like it belongs in a ghost town Joe! When is the gunfight scheduled? I love the sepia effect you did as well as the angle of photography that you used. I like how it is lighter over the door area, maybe to invite us all in for a tattoo then dinner on the house?
I keep looking at this and wondering if it is level or if my eyes are really tired. It looks like it needs to be rotated a few degrees to the right. Or maybe it is on a hill and you are defining it that way for the viewer. Okay, enough from me~.
Thank you for the cool post.
Thanks also for the visit to ~soft pink~. This rose caught my eye and I bounded out of the car, okay, I walked slowly out of the car to capture it with the sunlight providing the lighting that I like the best. I am glad that you enjoyed it also.
Your support, comments and critique are deeply appreciated.

Thanks Russ and Mimi.

Steaks and tatoos? Now this is diversified. I like the Sepia effect as well and the reminder that there still are places like this. I guess if they take a long time to complete your tattoo, you will at least not mind since you had a fat steak.

A man's got to make a living lol.

Much better than a shot of Graceland, I know. That color spotlight is beautiful here. I love that there's nothing modern to throw off the dated feel of the shot.

Thanks Kilie.Good to hear from you again.
