On this episode of Beneath the Skin we spoke to Master Piercer, Researcher, and Historian Paul King about the life piercing and tattoo collector, enthusiast, and so much more, Rudi Inhelder.

During his life Rudi was a living document of the growth of tattooing over the 20th century and is the nexus through which so much mid century and later tattoo history flowed. 

This is Part 1 of a 2 part series on the life of Rudi Inhelder so please stay tuned to hear the rest.
