This is Mark Twain , 3 years before his death



Twain is one of the greatest American novelists of all time, best known of his works "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and its sequel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Unger used a photo of the author from 1907, three years before his death in 1910.

In a twist of fate, Twain was born in 1835 when Halley's Comet was passing Earth. He predicted a year before his death that he would die when the comet returned in 1910 — and he did. He died of a heart attack the day after Halley's Comet was at its closest to Earth.

This photo of Maud Wagner, the first female tattoo artist in the United States, shows you the before and after of Unger's colorization process.

Wagner was born in 1877. She performed in circuses as an aerialist before meeting her future husband Gus, who taught her how to tattoo. The two traveled the country in circuses and in vaudeville shows, and today, Wagner is seen as one of the biggest female icons in the tattoo industry.
