The Tattoo Historian Magazine Number 11 featuring Percy Waters Spring/Summer - 1987

Was checking my archives and getting ready for uploading to the store and found this relic that I won from The Tattoo Archive Museum raffle if I’m not wrong at the DC Tattoo Convention Back in 2012.

At the time I had just opened my physical studio in Chelsea and was still able to travel for some conventions in the country as I still had some time before my dogs Bubba and Fatso came to our life and traveling became harder and harder.

Percy Waters and Paul Rogers was probably my biggest traditional idols of tattooing and their legacy will remain as the best tattoo machine makers, I still have some of them that will be posted and extra books and flash. Stay tuned.

This magazine is dated from 1987 and is a collectable item to any real tattooer or apprentice that would like to know and appreciate the history how our craft became what it is this days.

Below is some extra info I founded online about it.

A little Google information so you know more:

The Tattoo Historian" was a magazine published by Lyle Tuttle's Tattoo Art Museum in San Francisco. It focused on documenting the history of tattooing, featuring articles and imagery related to tattoo artists, techniques, and culture. Lyle Tuttle, a prominent figure in the tattoo world, edited the magazine. Issue #9, for example, included articles on C.W. Eldridge's A-Z history of tattooing, Samoan Navel Tattoo, and Amund Dietzel, illustrated with historical imagery. 

Attention: there’s a little ink stain on the cover…and pages are yellowish.
