August B. "Cap" Coleman (15 October 1884 – 20 October 1973) was an American tattoo artist. Dubbed "The Godfather of American Tattooing", Coleman's tattoo flash designs had a significant influence on his generation of tattooists, and inspired the likes of Franklin Paul Rogers and Sailor Jerry.[2]

Born in 1884 near Cincinnati, Ohio, little is known about Coleman's early life, although he claimed his father, Anthony, was a tattoo artist,[3] and his family was believed to have lived and traveled in the carnival scene.[1] At some point Coleman worked as a mariner,[4] and was frequently tattooed by Jesse Frederick Barber in Cincinnati. Coleman then enlisted with various carnival shows (Sheeshley Shows, Greater Smith Shows and Johnny J. Jones) as a tattooed attraction and tattoo artist, sometimes alongside female counterpart, Lenora Platt.[5][6] During his time in the carnivals he became known as 'The Human Picture Gallery'.[1] In 1912, Coleman took a break from the Greater Smith Shows to work in Barber's studio where he learnt the craft of tattooing.[1]

In 1918, Coleman relocated to Norfolk, Virginia and opened a tattoo parlor on East Main Street. The outbreak of World War I and a new naval port in Virginia bought thousands of US servicemen and sailors to Norfolk who comprised the majority of Coleman's clientele.[7][1] When Norfolk's City Council ruled tattooing illegal in June 1950 by passing Ordinance No. 15,668 Coleman, along with many other tattooists were forced out of the city. Many of the Norfolk tattooists, including Coleman, moved across the Elizabeth River to Portsmouth, and went to work with Tex Peace.[3]

Coleman died October 20, 1973.
