This woman obviously has a great admiration for Mickey Mouse and Minnie. She has two rather large tattoos on her thighs featuring the characters from the 1928 short film, “Steamboat Willie.” On one leg, Mickey is steering the boat, and on the other his girlfriend Minnie is playing music. The cartoon is the first to feature the characters, although they appeared in a test screening months earlier. “Steamboat Willie” was the first Disney cartoon to feature synchronized sound, character sounds, and a musical score. The characters were voiced by Walt Disney, although most of the dialogue is difficult to decipher.
