Wild Bill was on the front page of the first Tattoo magazine ever printed. He also had 38 photos on the inside. There were no tattooist credits back then. He fought for years with the editors to get not only photo credits but tattooist credits also because people wanted to know who did the artwork they were looking at. Bill went on to become the studio and cover photographer for Skin Art Magazine, Tattoo Expo, Tattoo Tour, Tattoos for Men, Tattoos for Women. He has over 40 centerfolds and magazine covers to his credit.
