Tattoo Artists: 1

Once again this year I attended the tattoo convention in Minneapolis.  One thing about going there for photos, everyone likes having their photo taken!  At least, I've never been told, "no".

So, upon arrival, I paid my $20, walked in, and set up the camera.  The woman below was my first stop.

Meet Shanghai Kate!


She is the oldest woman tattoo artist in the US.  And, she is the second oldest in the world.  She's been doing tattoo's since 1971.  And, she is still doing her craft in Austin, TX.

She is featured in a documentary called "Tattoo Nation".


Check it out if you want a copy.

Thanks Shanghai!
