Inspired by the book Tattoo by Albert Parry © 1930. I found the book at the Olympia Goodwill. Excerpt featuring Professor Jack:
“It is useless to make a trip to New York’s South Street. There the tattooing pursuit is as dead as the two other ancient trades of that street: the making and selling of sails, and the carving of ships’ figureheads. Professor Jack was the last permanent artist in this section; no one knows where he is now.” (p. 54)
