vintage 1970s danny monk american tattoo co. tattooing card ad VA flash 10x13

original hand drawn with ink by monk in late 1970s or early 1980s.  not any sort of reprint.

10x13 inches on tracing paper. 

staining, wear, some smudging present. 

the original flash came from a large lot of monk's flash. 

monk's sheets are generally worn, dinged-up boards used in real shops. Danny "Monk" started tattooing in the 1970s, in the Milwaukee area when tattooing was underground and illegal, with the talented Greg May, who was infamously and brutally robbed and murdered later for some civil war relics.  Monk then went to Illinois, tattooing in East Dubuque.  later he ended up in the Virginia area, associated with JD Crowe, Jerry Riegger as well as others.  after moving around, and even running a supply business, he ended up in the Texas area, tattooing in several locations before retiring from tattooing.  his original artwork reflects bikers, marines, women and other aspects of the badassery that surrounded his tattooing life.  he is still alive and values his privacy but has 100s of amazing stories about many of the tattooing legends...

Last picture is a photo of Lyle, Brian Frenchy and Monk. Picture is not included with sale but to give a historical context to the flash.
