In Memory Of: The Story Of W.R. King” is now up for pre-order!

Wilbur Raymond King was born in New Albany Indiana in 1894. King began tattooing in 1912 after attending the Indiana school for the Deaf. He tattooed on America’s carnival/circus circuit before settling down in central Kentucky and finding a home with his wife Fannie in the early 40’s. Despite King’s hearing impairment, he made a living for himself as a tradesman, farmer, tattoo artist and sign painter up until his death in 1969. This book contains hundreds of King’s beautifully executed tattoo flash designs, a full biography, family photos of Wilbur, photos of Wilbur’s machines and information about Wilbur’s connection to the tattoo world during this time. The first 100 pre-orders will get some extra goodies!
