Layers of tattoo history in this image! Tattoo by a tattoo legend, Dana Brunson, of a historic image of a historical tattooed lady, Artoria Gibbons, on his wife Dot. Spied at the NYC tattoo convention yesterday. They also had the chance to meet Artoria before she passed on!

Another one of the images from the new Tattoo History Occasionally blog post on the Baer book at tattoohistorian.com. Tattoo artists and collectors will particularly appreciate that it says “INK” instead of “INRI” over the figure!
