This Thursday, Dec. 3rd, I'll be attending the cool Black as Ink film event at Intuit in Chicago:
An evening of three short films related to tattoo history and culture:
'Stoney Knows How' (1981), by Alan Govenar and Bruce “Pacho” Lane, 29
minutes; 'Tattooed Lady of Riverview' by Tom Palazzolo, 14 minutes; and
'Fullsuit: A Portrait of Blu-Bak' (1991), by Kapra Fleming. There will
be a Q&A session with filmmakers, Tom Palazzolo and Kapra Fleming.
Kapra will also be sharing an additional short film on Blu-Bak and
Amelia Klem Osterud will be on hand to sign copies of her new book 'The
Tattooed Lady: A History' (available for purchase in the gift shop).
$10 non-members / $5 Intuit members and students
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
The films should be amazing, and the gift shop at Intuit has gotten copies of The Tattooed Lady and I'll be there to sign them! This is in conjunction with their great exhibit- Freaks and Flash, which is at the museum until Jan. 9th.
See you there!
Now you can become a fan of my forthcoming book on Facebook!

Earlier this year, I bought three photos on ebay of modern tattooed lady Lorett Fulkerson (who died in 2007). The seller had no idea who took them, where they came from, etc. I'm hoping that by posting them here, someone will recognize them and email me.
I suspect they were taken in the 1980s, but I'm not even sure of that.
Do these look familiar to you??
