Tattoo History:

Introduction by J. Brown

Tattoo History is something that I feel is very important in the tattoo industry today, but is often forgotten. This is why I decided to pay tribute to some of the men and women from tattooing's past. All the images and text are courtesy of Madame Chinchilla's books Electric Tattooing by Men: 1900-2004 and Electric Tattooing by Women: 1900-2003. You can purchase these books through the Merchandise section of this website or at Triangle Tattoo's website TriangleTattoo.com.

  Some of the people featured are who I consider the cornerstones of modern tattooing. My hopes are to help spark interest into the past of tattooing. I hope that you will enjoy this little walk through tattoo's history.

Sincerely,

J. Brown
