Duke
was a right handed
tattooist who worked
during the 1940s
and 1950s in the
San Francisco Bay
Area We know that
he worked in at
least two locations:
1138 Market Street,
San Francisco in
the Playland Arcade,
and at 1958 San
Pablo Avenue in
Oakland. A good
number of photos
exist that show
Kaufman's shops
and his tattooing.
Thanks to the great
Vern Ingermarson
Collection, many
sheets of Duke
Kaufman's water
colored flash have
survived.
