Original 1930s Vintage Tattoo Flash from Travel Book

By Edward James Vild

According to Vild's son, Edward Jr., Vild tattooed in and around Cleveland, OH in the late 1920s and early 30s. Traveling in the summer months with a local show, he used tattooing as a way of making extra money when no work was to be found during the depression.
