Plus, tattooing a bra seems like a supremely bad idea. But our anonymous friend below is rocking a faux bra, and, dare I say it, it looks strangely...satisfying?

Wow such amazing shots!
Wow wow wow!!! I want to see more photos from this book. I want to know more about Deafy and Stelly!
You rock....!
I LOVE the tattooed bra.
It's so odd seeing women from so many years ago getting tattooes like this! x
Very very awesome. Tattoos are not something commonly associated with this era (especially when it comes to women). Thanks for sharing!
That is beyond awesome. I love ink, I love my ink, I love people with ink. I would love to see more of this book.
But think about it, people who are that heavily tattooed kind of wind up in our own modern day freak shows of sorts. They always get showcased on those "OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW FREAKING AMAZING/WEIRD/UNUSUAL THIS PERSON IS". Of course, they're a little more tattooed than that, but still.
Ok, we know that we are weirdos but we are curious what the bra tattoo looks like from the front...
S+S
I too am intrigued to the tattoo bra from the front. I can only imagine...
S+S- I think I might be a weirdo too...this was my first thought. Although, they have no pictures of the front! I assume they probably just tattooed a whole bra on, but that could make for some interesting, uh, stretching over time...
Love the bra tattoo and I'm not a tattoo chica! What a ballsy woman to get such a unique tattoo during that time period!
Gorgeous!
