Ted Liberty

Ed Liberty’s youngest son, Ted (1912–c. 1976), soon followed his brother Frank to Scollay Square to begin his own tattooing career. A troubled man, Ted fell into a pattern of petty crime and feuding with his father and brothers. He left a wake of failed business ventures in Portland, Maine, and Baltimore before fleeing to Canada, where he later died in Toronto.
