If there was such a contest, 69-year-old Honest Charlie Potter could most certainly win the title of "Most Interesting Man in Texas", shaped and molded in the independent spirit of fellow outlaw Texans, Willie Nelson and William Travis. over the years, Honest Charlie has worn proudly many labels including: friend, biker, outlaw, Alamo historian, family man, partner, philosopher, peace/mayhem maker, peyote church member, and general badass, but tattooer is the label that most folks in Texas (and the larger tattoo community) are most familiar with. but Charlie is impossible to pin down with any label and constantly amazes with his down-to-earth, engaging and mischievous personality. Beginning to tattoo in the mid 1960s, Charlie began to tattoo "bikers and outlaws" in various clubhouses around San Antonio. In 1969, Charlie opened his world famous and renowned shop on "Snake Hill", located at the entrance of San Antonio's Fort Sam Houston army base, tattooing 1000s of soldiers over a 40 year period. To begin to try capture the magic, memories and essence of the Snake Hill shop is impossible but having a live circus bear as a shop mascot, inside the shop, begins to capture that essence. (He bought the bear "from some carnies" and trained it to wrestle soldiers on military pay day, to win or lose on his hand hidden hand signals.) Into the early 1970s Charlie moved his tattooing to several downtown San Antonio shops, across the street from the symbol of Texas independence, the Alamo. There he worked closely with Norm and Jimmy Farmer, Singapore John, Diamond Glenn and others. This location reflects a direct lineage and tradition to the earliest rough and tumble days of tattooing in Texas, beginning with "Three Star Jack" Tryon in the early 1920s and later with "Tex" Rowe and Bob Shaw in the 1940s and 50s. During his 60 years of tattooing "your daddy", Charlie has worked with many of the luminaries of tattooing history including Lyle Tuttle, Sailor Bill Killingsworth, Zeke Owen, Bob and Bobby Shaw, Milton Zeis, Leon Miller and many others. He has fearlessly survived many near death experiences (both in the past and recently) and continues to live, tattoo, and relish life and Mexican food with his family and many friends in San Antonio. see photos as they are part of the description.
