Handsome Halsey "3 Star Jack" Tryon,  began tattooing in Michigan in the 1910's and sometime in that same period he was tattooed over his entire body by Charles Wagner and Lou Alberts in the Bowery NYC.  By 1919, was in San Antonio tattooing and running various carnival and other sideshow related businesses from 1919 to 1959. Bob Shaw, who worked under Tryon in the 1940s, became probably his most prolific and well known tattooer.
Bob Shaw, born 1926, is considered by many to be one of the founding legends of Americana tattooing. Starting his tattoo career with none other than the legendary Bert Grimm, Shaw worked with the greatest names in tattooing including Jack Tryon in San Antonio Texas. (Later he would settle in Aransas Pass, Texas until his death in 1993.) Shaw also worked with Cap Coleman, Earl Brown, Col. Todd, and many others. Later he bought Grimm's famous Nu-Pike shop in Long Beach, CA. Throughout his career, Bob was a prolific flash painter and his tattoo flash is revered and highly sought after to this day. This tiger painting was painted during his years at Nu-Pike. .
