Alfred Charles South of Cockspur St. London was a British tattoo artist and inventor at the turn of the 20th century. South patented the twin coil, electromagnetic tattoo machine in London on Jun. 30th 1899. His construction was based on a door bell assembly in a plate steel box with brass slabs attached to each side. It was heavy and was often used with a spring attached to the top of the machine and to the ceiling to take most of the weight off the operators' hand.
