Charlie Wagner's Tattoos

description
In an interview Wagner gave to Albert Parry for a book entitled 'Tattoo: Secrets of the strange art as practiced by the natives of the United States' (published in 1933), he said that he supposedly became an apprentice to O’Reilly.
In 1909, O'Reilly (Wagner’s supposed mentor) passed away. Shortly after, O’Reilly’s ex-wife, who inherited the property upon his death, sold 11 Chatham Square to Wagner, and he continued to tattoo from this famed location that Samuel O 'Reilly had occupied from 1904 to 1909.
