Stoney Knows How is a visit with a master of the Oldest Art In The World – Tattooing. Disabled by arthritis since the age of four, confined to a wheelchair, his growth stunted, Stoney St. Clair (1912 – 1980) joined the circus at 15 as a sword-swallower. A year later, he took up tattooing, and traveled with circuses and carnivals for 50 years. As we watch him at work, we see the determination which led Stoney to use his crippled hands in an art where mistakes are permanent, and we realize Stoney has overcome his handicap to heal himself and others with the magic of symbols. The film ends with a visit by New Age tattoo master Don Ed Hardy to Stoney, who gives him a souvenir tattoo. Stoney is available on DVD from Ethnoscope Film & Video, www.docfilm.com.

All of the prisoners serving life sentences Wait for the earth to suddenly shake For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and For the bars to somehow magically break Aw, There’s nothing wrong with them That a thousand bucks can’t fix That a thousand arms can’t hold down In the ground they’re tattooing the stones with Cusses like cavemen – your momma was here But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles Gunmen or guard dogs or priests And to rise from the mud and start over and over With the people all dead. If Hans Christian Andersen could’ve had his way with me Then none of this shit would have ever gone down In my cell I’m tattooing myself with Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow My mama thinks I’m grown but I’m really just little And someday I will remember Someday I will remember Someday I will remember
