Martin
Hilderbrandt
This
German immigrant
settled into the
Oak Street section
of New York City
in the mid-1800s
and became one
of the first professional
tattooists in the
United States.
Using the hand
method, he tattooed
many attractions
of the era, including
his daughter Nora
(as seen here)
and Frank and Annie
Howard.
