... Are Tattoos going to be the the new Leitners?
Between "Marked" and "Anti-Social" implying that Ink5oul had been "stealing" tattoos from dead bodies and I might be stretching this, but I think that's where they get their "secret" inspiration from.
[Got sidetracked, found podcast]
Notes From:Podcast: Beneneath The Skin UNLOCKED: Sutherland MacDonald: The Man Who (Allegedly) Tattoed The King
What does, the first tattooist in London, to tattoo in colors other that black or red, have to do with it?
First to patten a tattoo gun.
What colors have they used so far, cuz Sutherland never succeeded at a yellow.
He had to cut pieces of himself off due to testing the yellows on himself.
He played music at his studio!?
He claimed they where painless, but used cocaine in his ink/needle.
Started with Sailor Designes!
He sold subscriptions to getting tattoos!
He tattooed the snake! On a George Edwards, some posh dude, don't know nothing about him, must research, maybe it's nothing.
His stuff fell out of fashion
No apprentices we know of.
Still did (claimed) to have tattooed some high profile folk.
His style of tattooing did not leave a legacy.
And his style did not survive (die by the 1920s)
Real bragger, claimed he tattooed a lot of famous people, and claimed he used live snakes to pose on models for his snake tattoos (they where actually very impressive)
1st self promoting tattoo artist, would have been great on TikTok, he was media savvy for his time!
Big bullshitter.
A Tom Riley was his biggest competitor, once also claimed to have tattooed the royal family. This upset him. He had a bit of a dick measuring contests in advertisements at the time by adding more colors to the ads.
Did not adapt his style
Retired before the second WW
His studio was bombed, very little of his survived.
Died at 82
