This is pretty cool. People still get tattoos?

Jon Reiter got a reaction from Mark Bee in Mid Year Assessments
The masked Dietzel girl was an instant classic. And still going strong. Favorite part is that unlike most designs of that era, I've yet to see another tattooer having done it. All Dietzel.

Jon Reiter got a reaction from abees in Old tattoo photos
Oh, and does anyone know anything about these photos? Found them uncredited on line but they look maybe Burchett-y to my untrained eye. Pretty sure they're the back nad front of the same man
These are indeed photos of the same man. His name is George Smith, of Sheboygan, WI, and was tattooed by Amund Dietzel. The photos I've got are dated 1928. and nearly every tattoo he's got, can be matched to Dietzel flash. The back piece as well, 'The the Ascension of Christ' was a personal favorite of Dietzel's. There are at least 4 examples of it in photographs, and it's mentioned in a newspaper article as well.

Theses Old Blue Arms the life and work of Amund Dietzel volume 1&2 are pretty amazing books. I got Eye Tattooed America about a Year ago and I fell in love with it after first look, Ive probaly looked at it once a week ever since.

Jon Reiter reacted to Nick Colella in Dietzel: A Retrospective at GLT Chicago
This event will showcase Jon Reiters entire Dietzel collection which is the foundation for his two books on Amund Dietzel. If you missed the show at the Milwaukee Art Museum this is your opportunity to see it in a more up close environment.
The opening night party and opening weekend will be an event to raise funds for Jons hospital bills due to some recently discovered blood clots in his brain. All proceeds from the Dietzel tattoos done that weekend will go directly to those bills. This is a chance for people to pick off the actual flash that hung in Dietzel shop in Milwaukee.
We will also be selling both copies of the Dietzel books as well as event Tshirts and limited edition hand screened prints. Opening night will also have either a raffle or silent auction from various tattooers and other artists donating work.
Please stay tuned as more details become available.
Thanks
Nick
