Tattooed Women

Alison interviews author Margo Mifflin about tattooed women. Starting with Olive Oatman, who we covered in episode 474, Margo brings new insight and corrects some misconceptions and mistakes regarding Olive’s story, as told in her book, “The Blue Tattoo.” Next, tattooed women from other ages are discussed – from the circus sideshow era on up to modern times.
