Earl Brown Earl
Brown tattooed
in many locations
during his career.
At 404 East Ninth
Street in Hopkinsville,
KY, he billed himself
as a master tattooist
with 35 years'
experience. His
card stated, "I
originate what
others imitate." In
St. Louis, MO,
he worked at 716
North Broadway.
This was the location
Bert Grimm had
made famous before
he left for Long
Beach, CA in the
1950s. It is believed
the Earl Brown
may have learned
tattooing from
Bert, possibly
in St. Louis. In
Biloxi, Mr. Brown
worked with Bob
Shaw at 323 Croesus
Street. It is unknown
when Earl Brown
was born but when
he died in 1983
he was an old man,
so he must have
been born around
the turn of the
20th century.
