Manuscript, "Tattooing Notes," by Harry V. Lawson, circa 1920

Lawson's pamphlet, How to Do Tattooing, explains that a tattoo business can be started with just "a little nerve and a small bank roll." He encourages tattooists to be "ready for any emergency" with a collection of "flash" to apply to first time patients and circus sideshow hopefuls alike. A handwritten manuscript outlining tattoo removal remedies is also included here.
