an introduction to vintage tattoo art








Jessie Knight, UK's first woman tattoo artist

It was in and around the year 1936 when Jessie Knight set up her own tattoo shop in Aldershot, Hampshire, England, & then eventually moving into the back of an amusement arcade in the army garrison town - tattooing there throughout the Second World War.

In 1955 Jessie took second place in the ‘Champion Tattoo Artist Of All England’ competition held in London, with a large back design of a Scotsman tossing a caber, complete with tents and spectators in the background of the tattoo.
