Publisher's Synopsis
This takes the reader inside the shops and studios of ten well-known and experienced artists in both a 'how-to' book and photo-intensive guide to the world of tattoos. Detailed photo sequences follow each artist through a tattoo project, form initial design and idea, sketch, outline, and finally the finished colourful design, as the artist talks about their work, the project, process, techniques and their unique and personal design ideas. Chapters cover not only techniques but also the inks and tools used during each step of the process. With five hundred colour photographs alongside this authoritative text, this book is sure to provide a wealth of information and inspiration for readers.
