In this updated edition, the extraordinary life of Stoney St.
Clair-circus performer turned tattoo artist-comes to life in
photos, tattoo flash, and his own words, edited by writer and
filmmaker Alan Govenar. Born Leonard St. Clair in 1912 in West
Virginia, Stoney discovered his passion for drawing at Johns
Hopkins, where he was being treated for rheumatoid arthritis. Not
deterred by his disability, he joined the circus at 15 as a sword
swallower and then learned tattooing from other circus performers.
From traveling with the circus to setting up tattoo shops in Tampa
and Columbus, Stoney met, tattooed, and worked with some of the
greatest. Vincent Canby, writing in the New York Times, described
Stoney as "an ebullient little man with the gab of a circus tout
(spoken in the accents of Appalachia) and a fund of bizarre stories
about tattooing and unrelated matters."
