Throughout history, men and women have decorated their skin to pledge allegiance, to enhance beauty, to stand out from the crowd, to declare where they have been - or where they are going. With a history stretching back millennia, the practice of tattooing boasts a rich legacy which even today continues to develop and evolve. Beautiful, bold, controversial: tattoo is a living, breathing form of art like no other.
Illustrated with stunning full-colour photography, Tattoos presents a rich gallery of contemporary tattoo pieces, featuring every style from old-school and Japanese to biomechanic and horror, accompanied by an engaging commentary on this fascinating form of self-expression and the traditions and symbols that govern it. As she charts its remarkable story, author Doralba Picerno showcases some of the most daring and exquisite pieces of art ever created on the human body.ISBN-9781848379428
