Betty Broadbent
Photo from the collection of Johnny Fox's Freakatorium, NYC

 

This 1930s photograph features Betty Broadbent, the most photographed tattooed woman of this century. Betty performed for over 40 years with every significant American circus and in Australia and New Zealand. Her tattoos were applied by New York tattooist Charlie Wagner, one of the first to use the electric tattoo machine.
