Captain
Elvy
The west coast tattooist, "Sailor" George
Fosdick, did "Captain" Elvy's back
piece in 1943 as shown here.
The Archive has very little historical
background on Captain Elvy. We
do know that he worked as a tattoo
attraction, and maybe possibly
as a tattooist in the 1940s and
was seen with the Wallace Bros.
sideshow in 1943.
Through the years Fosdick worked
with many tattooists including
Larsen (Sailor
Walter) Waldemar and Prof. Bert
Grimm.
