OK, that joins the list of things I wish I could un-see

In a similar vein I've often thought collectors of brothel tokens must have very understanding wives/girlfriends

Hi Jo

No, the first one was enough for me

Where I used to work, in the Science Museum store in West Kensington, we had a collection of over 200 tattoos, taken when their original owners had no further use for large patches of skin. If you search on-line you may find photos of some of them.

Hi Jo;

Certainly some weird collections in that link! I don't think we can use any of them for the Logistics Museum though Thanks for posting.

Cheers Al
