ABOUT: These Old Blue Arms: The Life and Work of Amund Dietzel, Vol. 2 is a richly illustrated continuation of Jon Reiter's two?volume biography of one of America's most influential early tattooers. This second volume expands the historical record with deeper personal context, rare visual material, and technical insight into Dietzel's craft. Volume 2 focuses on the later career, personal relationships, and technical evolution of Amund Dietzel, a Norwegian-born sailor who became one of the foundational figures of American electric tattooing. The book traces how Dietzel?after surviving shipwrecks, working carnivals, and tattooing across North America?ultimately established himself in Milwaukee, where he built a reputation that influenced generations of tattooers. Key Themes and Content 1. Personal Relationships and Career Development Reiter highlights Dietzel's friendships, apprenticeships, and professional alliances formed over his 60-year tattooing career. These relationships shaped both his artistic style and his business longevity, offering a more intimate portrait than Volume 1. 2. Technical Craft: Machines, Tools, and Trunks A major portion of the volume examines Dietzel's tattoo machines, handmade equipment, and custom-built trunks, providing rare documentation of his mechanical ingenuity. These sections are especially valuable for historians and working tattooers interested in early 20th?century machine-building practices. 3. Extensive Flash and Archival Photography The book contains over 200 pages of hand?painted flash sheets, historic photographs, and ephemera?much of it previously unpublished. 4. A Life Shaped by Adventure and Hardship Reiter frames Dietzel's story as a "hero's journey": shipwrecked sailor carnival attraction respected master tattooer. Signed by Author(s).
