Within the pages of this book you will meet a wide variety of ladies and gentlemen – ordinary folks who came from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and social standing  - who were drawn into the ancient, secretive and mystical world of tattooing. The tattoo artists, the showmen, the tattooed performers and the people who supplied them with the first electric tattoo equipment.  The society tattooists – who catered for royalty, nobles and the upper classes – to the travelling tattooers working  the coastal towns and inner cities. The barrack-room amateurs, the maritime experts and the spare room hobbyists. This is not a book on tattoo history – this is the story of the pioneers of British tattooing.
