Astonishing Legends Productions
About this episode
Greetings My Dear Guest!  Maybe you recall ...in our previous reading on Sacred Tattoos, I lamented the fact that there were just too many wonderful tattoo tales to choose from-- and the story of the first tattooed circus performers is one of them!  So please join me now to hear about these daring and "colorful" characters!  Now, won't you take a seat beside me?  Natasha will be along shortly with our tea.  Just relax and maybe don't make too much eye contact with her... She's a ... nervous sort of... girl... you know... Welcome to The Midnight Library!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
