Steve & Mugs Tattoo-Prohibition era Postcard 2 Inked Men Photo ©1980 John Wyatt

5"x7"postcard, The American Postcard Company. The card does not make note of where the picture was taken but with what research I have done I am fairly confident in saying that it is probably a 1970s NYC picture.

Since 1976 John Wyatt has been photographing people in their own environments who are heavily tattooed. In his own words Wyatt says, “I selected people who were dedicated to tattoo art and compiling a collection of art on their body as an art collector accumulates art for their homes. My subjects were not getting tattooed because tattooing had suddenly become popular, or fashionable. For them, it was a way of life; a culture of tattooing.”

John Wyatt focused heavily on photographing NYC underground tattoo scene during time of tattoo prohibition. Along with pro-fighters and landscape deterioration.

Postcard is 5"x7" NOS. Please see all our retro-vintage cards and postcards from the now defunct American Postcard Company. I believe we have the largest selection on NOS American Postcard company cards available anywhere. Please contact us for custom bundles if you are interested.
