Delaney Davidson & The Alpine Cretins "Pitch-Inst.-Master-Key-Chrom." 2008

...In his mid-teens he played guitar in punk groups around Christchurch. In 1989, age nineteen, he followed his father to Melbourne where he continued to tinker with guitar and drums, but for several years focused mostly on visual arts, “sketching, printmaking, mezzotint, engraving on zinc plates, oil painting”. A visual aesthetic remains a potent part of his work today, with self-designed posters, album sleeves and stage sets...
...By his mid-twenties he had married and moved to Switzerland. Here he fell in with a local dark folk band The Dead Brothers. “I recorded two albums with them. One was a bunch of songs we all wrote and the other was music for a radio play. We also did the soundtrack for a movie on Herbert Hoffman, one of the original tattoo artists from Hamburg, who had kept tattooing alive through the time of the Third Reich when if you had a tattoo or were homosexual, you’d be killed.”...to be continued... - audioculture

I'm calling BS on that reference to Herbert Hoffmann. The real story is here. Although he served as a young man on the Eastern Front (mainly in Soviet POW camps in Latvia) he did not begin tattooing himself until 1949 at the earliest.
