Experience a piece of San Diego's tattoo heritage with this unique ! "Painless Nell" Bowen was a pioneering female tattoo artist who owned several shops in San Diego until her retirement in the 1960s. Her entire collection was later acquired by "Tahiti Felix" Lynch, and we are proud to present this original “shop used” acetate stencil from the 1950s.

***This acetate stencil bears the original etching “PN” (Painless Nell)

These original pieces are still proudly displayed at Tahiti Felix’s Master Tattoo, the oldest family-owned tattoo parlor in America, established in 1949 and located in downtown San Diego—a true destination for tattoo enthusiasts and history buffs alike!
