Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Beachcomber Bill's wife; Brenda; smiles from table as he shows how he applies tattoo. She's had 28 in past 8 years. Joanne Smith; 20; wife of his partner watches. She's been tattooed 45 times in past 2 years; all of them visible when she's in a bikini. My parents didn't accept it; Joanne said. My father had been in the navy. He didn't have tattoos; although many other sailors did. What he couldn't accept was a tattoo on a woman. They don't discuss it.
