Tatted up Tuesday with the legendary Jacci Gresham. Born in 1951, she is the first known Black woman tattoo artist in the United States. Hailing from Flint, Michigan, She has been based in New Orleans since 1976. Her shop, Aart Accent Tattoos & Body Piercing, is Louisiana’s oldest continuous tattoo business. At the time of its opening, she was one of only five practicing female tattoo artists in the United States, and the only woman doing tattooing in New Orleans. In 2011, she was honored as a Pioneer of Female Tattoo Artists! If you’re ever in Nola, go check her out! @aartaccenttat2
