The pioneering Welsh tattooist who inked thousands

Jessie Knight shattered the glass ceiling for female tattooists a century ago.

The trail-blazing Welsh woman disrupted the male-dominated artform, becoming the UK's first professional female tattoo artist.

Trained by her father, she took over the family shop the port of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan when her went off to sea as a sailor.

For the next three decades Jessie, who died in 1992, travelled the UK inking thousands of customers.

Her designs and tattoo machines have now been acquired by Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales.
