Misinterpreted Cancellation On A "Revenue"

The seller of this stamp is describing it as a "Tattoo Department revenue." He must think that, along with such governmental agencies as the Consular Service, the Law Courts, the Inland Revenue, etc, there must be a British governmental department which oversees the decorative art of injecting various colours of ink into the skin. And, while this stamp could have been used for revenue purposes, it is not a dedicated revenue stamp. What is more likely is that this is simply a slogan cancellation advertising a military tattoo. Tattoos, which have nothing whatsoever to do with ink on skin, are military pageants staged for the public's entertainment and feature military bands, displays of military equipment, etc. They are generally held in the summer months, and this one was probably held in September (Sept, not Dept!!!) of some year during king George V's reign, perhaps the 1920's when this stamp was in current use. A quite funny misinterpretation of a perfectly ordinary cancel.

John, and 22crows, thanks for reminding me of the Torchlight Tattoo at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley stadium. I should have made the connection with the ...LEY on the stamp, especially because I have a beautiful Cinderella of that event in my Art Deco collection, which shows the lion logo that was used on much of the promotional material for the Exhibition. You can see the logo if you click on the somersetph.blogspot
