It's Street Art Thursday people, and we have something for you bird lovers.

My neighborhood has two tattoo parlors. How many does yours have? Right around the corner from me is Red Bird Tattoo. You can get a haircut there too.
Here we have a shining blue bird of HATE. Naturally there is a companion.

Here is "blue's" partner, the red-pink, horned bird of LOVE, flying backward into an electrical storm toward the crown of AND.
There is also a bottom piece to the art, with the establishment's name on it:

There may be some symbolism and occult (hidden) meaning in this imagery, but the usual interp is the card for the Queen of Hearts if love, and the Ace of Spades is death. We have red roses and a purple rose. The skull is a signifier of death as well. The black fedora with a burning feather of a firebird? Seems like power to me. All this stuff on pink bricks? Pink is usually a stand-in for e skin of the naked human body. And why are these two birds so pissed off?
I think there's all kinds of passion goin' on at this storefront. It helps that the word "BEAUTY" sits there in the middle as well. So many primal thoughts and concepts together!
The facade of my workplace is beige. What it must be like to go to work with ink, skin, needles, and other cutting instruments.
When this goes up, I will not be in California. Maybe I'll have some other kind of photo here or not. Whatever happens, have a wonderful Thursday.
Love,
Pops

Be truthful and frank, but be polite. If you use excessive profanity, I'll assume you have some kind of character flaw like Dr. Wong. Tks!
