The Tattooed Lady was a popular act back in the halcyon days of the sideshow, with the lady in question often taking the stage name Pictura.

Some of the more famous tattooed ladies include: Betty Broadbent, Artoria (Anna Gibbons), Irene Woodward, La Belle Irene and Nora Hildebrandt. Groucho Marx's signature tune was "Lydia the Tattooed Lady".

Nowadays, the tradition is carried on by Katzen.
