E. J. Casey: From Soldier to Showman

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

"The tattooed man was almost like a freak. He was formerly with Ringling Brothers Circus and he was completely covered with tattoos even the tip of his tongue. He would tattoo anyone for five bucks; quite a few adventurous natives had hearts, etc. painted on their manly chests or arms, he was a novelty."
