Sailors Considering Tattoos
Elevated view of two men in naval uniforms standing on the sidewalk in front of a fire hydrant looking upward. One is smoking a cigarette and the other is holding a satchel. Caption reads: "Tattooing, a far eastern art carried to other parts of the world centuries ago by sailors, still gets a big play from sailors. These two, John Marshall (left), 19, of Cumberland, R.I., and Raymond Corriveau, 18, of Attleboro, Mass., both fireman apprentices at the Great Lakes naval training station, paused outside the second floor shop of Amund Dietzel, 948 N. Plankinton Av., before taking the plunge." |
