Possibly the least known tattoo is one which Winston Churchill had. It was a single anchor [not sure which arm]. The single anchor is significant in that Winston was the First Sea Lord before becoming PM in 1940.
Tattoo history -
Emerson made his first knife, a balisong, in 1979, while working as a machinist for an aerospace company in Southern California because he could not afford to buy one for his martial arts class. He had been studying under Dan Inosanto and Richard Bustillo (both protégés of the late Bruce Lee) at the time, and soon received requests from other students to make them knives. Emerson made these early knives in exchange for the cost of materials.
He branched out into more conventional designs of the time, fixed blade knives and lock back folders, but soon was intrigued by the liner lock design, developed by Michael Walker. With Walker's permission, he incorporated the lock into his own designs and used high end materials such as mother-of-pearl, titanium, and paua shell in his knives. Falling back on his martial arts background, he stripped these designs down to their essence and made a series of tactical knives. These knives featured bead blasted titanium hardware and black canvas micarta scales.
