Lindsay 'Rocky' Herbert Vagne (aka Vane), originally from Nowra, NSW, developed a keen interest in snakes and tattooing very early on. Some early records have him performing a snake show at Lismore Showground, with a newspaper reporting that he "crashed his sulky," killing some of his snakes as he travelled there (6 May 1914). With articles about him at the Lismore show, dated around November of the same year.
The next dated source of Rocky has him trying to take snakes onto a train in Marborough, Victoria.
Rocky arrived in Perth in mid-1920's and began travelling around to carnivals like White City/ Uglieland showing snakes that he had captured, which included Tiger Snakes collected possibly from Garden Island.

Around 1925 Rocky was apparently a member of 'Gus Leighton's Snake Academy', with an article written in the paper, featuring 'Professor Rocky', Gus, a man named Milo and a woman named 'Madame Lutricia'.
In 1927, Rocky is documented performing with his wife, Annie Vagne nee Whitby, under her stage-name 'Cleopatra' at the Digger's Fair.
In 1928, one of Rocky’s snakes bit his wife Annie on the thumb while performing, and she unfortunately died a short time later.
Rocky must have had a daughter with Annie (or prior) as a photo of him and an aged daughter appear in the paper, shortly after the death of 'Cleopatra'.The daughter goes unnamed.
Later, an inquest into the death of Mrs. Vagne gets underway, with Rocky insisting on the hospital being responsible for 'neglect' by removing a ligature he had placed on her thumb, which was bitter by a Tiger Snake.
After her death, Rocky continued shows at Uglieland (White City), invoking some scrutiny in the papers.
In 1929 Rocky was charged with abducting a 16 year old girl, and arrested at Boulder, before being remanded at Kalgoorlie.The charges were later withdrawn when it was found the girl accompanied him alongside her mother.
Later that year (1929), Rocky employed Harry Melrose (48) as his show assistant, who was also bitten and then died.
At some point Rocky married his second Wife, Miriam Rita Tchan in 1929, who later took him to court to divorce him in 1936, citing, that he was a drunkard who kept snakes under the bed and deserted her, apparently having done so in 1932 stating he was "tired of being tied up".
In April 1934, Rocky was convicted of being ‘in a dwelling with intent’ and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. While Rocky was still imprisoned, Mrs. Vagne was granted her divorce, as well as granted custody of 'her child'. (Whether this was a child she and Rocky had or a child from Rocky's previous marriage in unknown, though one article states there was one child between their union).
Within the court proceeding Rocky brought his 8 year old daughter in as 'evidence', stating that she had 'taken the bite of every snake in the well at one point or another and was still in perfect health.' With the reporter writing: 'Never before, perhaps, was seen a child bearing so many scars. Her little knees were red and pimply. Her face was a mass of pimples and scars. Below the short sleeves of her little one-piece frock, her frail little arms showed many marks left by the reptile fangs'.
The case ended with him being given 24 hours to get out of the state.
It has been theorised that Rocky dumped his snakes onto Carnac Island, explaining the booming population of approximately 400 Tiger Snakes that currently inhabit the island. Whether truth of folktale is still debated.
In 1937, after having left Western Australia, for South Australia after being forced to leave the state, Rocky was once more performing with snakes, where after being bitten by one and collapsing 100 snakes escaped, being reported in the newspaper.
In 1941, Rocky married his third wife, Joyce Alice Mary Trevorrow, who learned to be a snake charmer from Rocky.
In 1943 newspapers reported on a car Rocky was driving in Victoria, where he was transporting snake for Melbourne Zoo along with another snake catcher named 'Leona', with the car catching fire and 100 snakes dying.
In 1944, Rocky owned a tattoo shop on Flinders Street in Melbourne. It’s likely Rocky was tattooing while in Perth, given the first evidence of his career as a tattoo artist dates to c.1915 in NSW. He had a tattoo parlour located at 84 James Street in Northbridge from around 1933.
While working at his tattoo shop, a man attempted to steal a Tiger Snake from Rocky, this man (George Tchan) was bitten and taken to Royal Melbourne Hosptial.This name also matches the name of Rocky's second Wife father. So there is probably some deeper story there.
In 1946, while in Tasmania, Rocky was bitten once too many times, succumbing to his snake bite and dying, with an obituary in the paper mentioning his wife Joyce, and a daughter Sylvia.
His widow, Joyce, continued on performing snake shows.
In 2024, during conservation works in the Main Cell Block of Freemantle Prison, archaeologists retrieved artefacts hidden underneath the floor, which included fragments of a tattoo art dated to c.1934 and attributed to ‘Rocky Vane’.
The fragmented designs found under the floor would have originally been one larger piece drawn and painted by Rocky, referred in the tattoo industry as ‘flash’, that he could use to advertise his tattoo works to other prisoners.
The fragments of Rocky’s designs are now being carefully conserved and adopted into Fremantle Prisons museum collection.

Seus designs são lindos, poderia dar uma dicas? 🥰
Olá meu bem!! <3 obrigado pelo elogio (morri de amores pois sou boiola mas abafa kkkk) bem, como você não especificou que dicas gostaria de receber (e nem o estilo de capa que tem mais dificuldade) resolvi trazer o que mais ajudou para que minhas capas tivessem uma evolução (!)
Primeiramente, eu edito tudo pelo celular. Tudo. Desde a base até a finalização, tudo. Não se limite, existem vários apps de edição e todos eles são muito úteis para editar uma capinha cheirosa e babadeira 🩷✨ o que eu uso é o Ibis Paint X mas tem gente editando por várias outras plataformas. Não se limite!
Finalização:
é uma das minhas partes favoritas! Mas a ordem é bem complicada e demora nas primeiras vezes que faz. Mudei minha finalização esses dias e foi a que mais ajudou as minhas capas a ficar com qualidade. Primeiro, eu faço a capa nas medidas de 600 x 400... Sim, MAS EU POSSO EXPLICAR! Já disse uma vez e digo de novo, não são as medidas que vão deixar a capa com qualidade, é a finalização. Edito tudo nas medidas corretas do app/site pois sou doido :3
Vamos falar da finalização do igor! Primeiro eu salvo a capa (aperte na opção Adicionar Camada a Partir da Tela) e eu coloco a nitidez no raio de 2 e força no 240 e pq sim, depois eu vou mexer nas configurações do app (e como já disse, eu uso o Ibis paint). Logo após eu vou mexer no tom/saturação/luminosidade, nessa configuração, tente mexer até realçar mais as cores, dar mais contraste (pois é ela que vai dar o tchan na hora da segunda finalização). Após isso, eu mexo no balanço de cores, apenas por fazer (essa parte é opcional). Agora vamos pro pulo do gato. Aperte na opção Adicionar Camada a Partir da Tela (que vai duplicar a sua capa e a alteração que fez e aperte a opção de efeitos Borrão Gaussian no raio 5, e dai vem um truque! Coloque no modo de mistura escurecer e se for necessário, diminua a opacidade. Tentem e me digam se funciona com vocês! Mais um truque da minha finalização. Dupliquem novamente a camada com toda a sua alteração E usem o mapa de gradação ou seja, usem degradê. Nisso, eu não posso ajudar muito pois vai de cada capa. A única dica que posso dar é sejam felizes e testem a vontade as cores, brinquem a vontade! E depois de verem um degradê que casou com a sua capa, brinquem com o modo de mistura e testem qual mais se adequa para a capa. Depois disso eu só adiciono o efeito 3d aberração cromática (movimento) e apago as extremidades. Depois disso eu adiciono os psds (vai de cada capa) e faço minha terceira finalização. Que é onde adiciono o TÍTULO, CRÉDITOS E DETALHES EXTRAS , sim eu não havia adicionado o título!
Um exemplo:

primeira capa depois da primeira finalização; a segunda sendo depois da segunda finalização e a terceira capa totalmente finalizada.
(Desisto de tentar explicar gente, é isso por hoje, eu até tentei gravar minha finalização mas não deu certo :'))) qualquer dúvida, me mandem nas asks <3
