EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time that showcases the artistry and cultural significance of tattooing in the early 20th century. In this image, we see Percy Waters, a legendary Detroit tattooer, meticulously working on Egbertus Jan "Dutch". Berghege's back. The year is 1921, and Dutch is proudly displaying his full suit of impressive tattoos. Dutch himself was not only a tattooed man but also an accomplished tattoo artist who traveled with carnivals during the vibrant 1920s and 30s. It was during this time that he sought out Percy Waters to receive his remarkable body art. The level of detail captured in this photograph is truly stunning. Every line, every stroke of ink tells a story – stories of adventure, bravery, and personal expression. This image serves as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship involved in creating these intricate designs. As we gaze upon this vintage postcard-like print from Prismatic Pictures' private collection, we are transported back to an era where tattoos were seen as souvenirs from life's journeys rather than mere fashion statements. It reminds us that behind each tattoo lies a unique narrative waiting to be discovered. This photograph stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of the rich tradition of tattooing in the early 20th century.
