Maud Wagner (wife of Gus Wagner). Gus taught her to tattoo (in trade for a date, they say) and she was also an aerialist and contortionist in a circus.

She looked to be the Madonna of her times and based on the photograph of her and her tattoos, she did not seem to be overly concerned about what other people thought.
