It turns out Bonnie also got a tattoo.   "She ran out and got a tattoo high up on the inside of her right thigh. It had two red hearts connected by arrows and the hearts were labeled 'Bonnie" and "Roy'." (Guinn p 49.)

Roy was her boyfriend. "Big, good-looking, and well-dressed".   Had money for dates. She married him at age 15.   25 September 1926.

He left her three times--for up to a year-- with no explanations when he returned.

In 1929 he was arrested for robbery, sentenced to 5 years in prison.

She didn't take off his wedding ring, nor divorce him.   That "just wouldn't be right". Though as it turned out she never saw him again.

She never got a tattoo with Clyde's name.
