Video

If you have any tattoo videos you’d like to see featured here, please get in touch; I’m even willing to convert from VHS to DV if you don’t have the necessary equipment. Everything you see below came from VHS tapes sitting in storage in my house and from the realization that if someone didn’t digitize these clips they may end up gone forever. Tattoo History shouldn’t be disposable or forgotten. I claim no copyright other than where noted and present these excerpts in the spirit of fair use. I do not sell or collect any profit from sharing them.
