| How
can you show the world you are a true Kelly believer?
For some people wearing a t-shirt or a badge is not
nearly enough, they prefer a more permanent display.
But sometimes a tattooed chest or back does have to
be covered up. So the Ironoutlaw has set up a permanent
display of Skin and Ink, allowing the viewer
to marvel at the graphical beauty and winch at the
sheer pain these people put themselves through all
in the name of Ned Kelly. |

Dave Fagan
What makes a person sit
through hours of pain and torture? Well for one
man, Dave
Fagan of Glenrowan, Victoria, it was
his love of the Kelly Legend and countless bottles
of bourbon. With an investment of over $2000.00
waiting to be etched into his back Dave sought
the expert scalpel of Gary Theobald from GUSART
Tattoos situated at 16 New Street, Kyneton,
Victoria. Gary and Dave went through numerous
sitting to achieve the skin and ink masterpiece
that went on display for the first time during
the media launch of Ned:
The Exhibition at the Old Melbourne Gaol.
Even Ian Jones was impressed, although I think
Gary will be waiting a while for a booking from
our number one Kelly expert. However, to reserve
your own piece of mobile art give Gary a call
on 0418 371 133 or check out his web site at gusart.com.au. On
February 9, 2002, Dave Fagan won first place
in the “Best Australiana” category
at the A.U.P.T.A. Tattoo Show. |

Alex
finally got his Ned Kelly tattoo finished last
week (July 2006) and sent this photo in to
prove it. This piece of art was completed
by a New Zealand artist called Justin at
Zulu Tattoo in Dublin, Ireland. It was
Justin's first Ned Kelly work, and he copied
the image from the picture we supplied
Alex
NcGreevy just for the occasion! |

Tim
Smith
While
this tattoo of Ned's portrait still has a few
sittings to go, Tim
Smith was keen to send
us in a picture, adding that this image is
the third Kelly tatt to be displayed on his
body. |

Steve
Hart descendant Paul O'Keefe has alerted me to yet
another ridiculous Kelly Gang claim (the latest in a line
of many). Not just content to see Dan escape, this time
around Steve also made a bolt from the Glenrowan Inn
fire (so why was Ned heading back when they had both left?).
Lucky Steve also headed north where he lived a long and
happy life in Queensland under the name of Billy Meade. Apparently
this Meade character confessed about his double identity
on his deathbed in 1938. Well, in that case, it
