OReilleys modern-day electric tattoo machine was born and patented. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Between these pages are images of the original acetate rubbings from Charlie Wagners turn of the 20th century tattoo shop, The Black Eye Barbershop, in the Bowery at Chatham Square in New York. This is the only known art that has survived from this shop, where Samuel J. OReilleys modern-day electric tattoo machine was born and patented.

Including nautical themes, Asian imagery, flowers, boxers, circus characters, and plenty of girls, this is an exciting collection of early American flash and a necessary book for the tattoo artist, aficionado, and student. 900 b/w images Author Biography Cliff R.
