Where was John Wilkes Booth's tattoo located?
John Wilkes Booth had no tattoo. There are reports that as a ten year-old he tattooed his left hand using India ink. All these sources say their information came from his sister Asia Booth. Asia said, "He had perfectly shaped hands, and across the back of one he clumsily marked, when a little boy, his initials in India ink." Booth simply put his initials on his left hand using India ink from his school supplies. In a few weeks the initials would wear off. Before Lincoln's assassination not one person said he had a tattoo. After his death, people said that Booth had a tattoo on his left hand, his right arm, and on his chest. None of these were accurate. The only person that we know had JWB tattooed on his left hand was James William Boyd.
