Does anyone know this woman's identity? I remember seeing her in a tattoo magazine from over 20 years ago, she was the first person I can recall who tattooed her neck and scalp. Interestingly, you can tell this picture is not a contemporary picture...her hands and fingers are not tattooed!

I remember the article about her. At that time she was working as a secretary and had children, too. The article, as far as I can remember, described this as surprising.
I might still have that old magazine somewhere in the cellar. If I can find the time I'll take a look.
Do you still remember which magazine it was? That would help as it's a whole packing case I'll have to look through.

I'm pretty sure, she (and that picture) was in "Body Art" magazine.
Edit: Nope, sorry. Flilpped through the 19 issues of "Body Art" in my collection,. Didn't find her. I *know* I have that picture somewhere. Must be in one of the books.

No, sorry. Been through about thirty books, flipped through the covers of a couple hundres magss. I STILL know I have this picture in quite a prominent location. Dammit.
What good is a collection if you can't find anything?

I think she was in a magazine in '91. I do not remember which one, unfortunately.

I believe her name is Treena Morgan. Work by Art (Doc) Balch or Balsch from Missouri. Hopefully, that will help you out. She was a fixture at all the early NTA Conventions.

The name rings a bell so this could be. The named magazine is very likely but not before 1994 as I didn't buy any magazines like that earlier.

I`m sure, she was in a Tattoo Savage Magazin. May be, it was in 1993, 1994 or 1995. But I not remember her name.

I found my old magazine, unfortunately the cover and first few pages are missing, so I am unable to ID the magazine. I left in some of the detail on one of the pictures, thinking that might cue someone's memory. As I was looking at the writing on the right side, I saw the name "Trena Morgan" (a slight variation on what someone else suggested) and a quick google search later, I found her obit. She died earlier this year. RIP
