I have been back from my holiday in India and Sri Lanka little more than a week. While in India we went to the Dharamshala valley and in particular to Mcleodganj, the small town in the foothills of the Himalayas in the state of Himachal. From there you can see the Dhauladhar Mountains. This is the home of the exiled Dalai Lama and everywhere in the town you see Tibetan monks and many refugees. My eyes also caught the many posters for a tattoo studio in town and I hunted it down. It wasn't as easy as I imagined it would be to find as I followed the many signs which took me down allies, across a rubbish dump and then into what in Indian terms might be described as a suburb. The sign here is not on the actual building of the shop but some small distance away on the wall of a restaurant. I arrived a little before six in the evening with the intent to have a look around and a chat. I often do this at tattoo studios when I'm on holiday whether it be Cornwall, Holland
