On newstands Jan. 10th, check out my article Ink Artists: Making a Permanent Impression on Wisconsin in Wisconsin Trails Magazine!
The article profiles 6 Wisconsin tattoo artists: Rick Harnowski (Skin Illustrations, Green Bay), Jon Reiter (Solid State, Milwaukee's Bayview neighborhood), Greg Foster (Custom Tattoo, Milwaukee's East Side), Adam Werther (Adambomb Gallerie, Milwaukee), Dana Withers (Blue Lotus Tattoo, Madison) and George Wang (Waukesha Tattoo Company, Waukesha).
I was thrilled to see that The Tattooed Lady is on the top of needlesandsins.com's Tattooed Women Gift Guide!
Which reminds me... don't forget to order your personalized copy of The Tattooed Lady for $25 + $4 shipping for your tattooed loved ones and friends, or treat yourself!
Lady Viola says, "What are you waiting for? Order today!"
I was interviewed by Steve Fast for WJBC (in central Illinois) before my talk last week at the Milner Library.

Discover tattooing in Western cultures from the 1500s to the recent past. From shipwrecked sailors to fur traders to religious pilgrims, Anna Friedman Herlihy will reveal that Western tattooing has a longer and more complex history than is commonly believed. Carroll University Librarian Amelia Klem Osterud will discuss tattooed ladies, a group of amazingly daring women, who went outside the social norms of the late 1800 and early 1900s to cover their bodies in tattoos and perform for a public audience. Body painter and photographer Shay Armstrong will demonstrate her artwork and discuss her current research in body art and cultural ceremonies.
