Publisher's Synopsis
Text in English, German & Spanish. This volume delves into personal demons relayed on skin. Paul Booth, often described as the "Dark Lord of Tattooing", reveals some of the reasons why people get these tattoos as well as how his own demons have driven his art. Other tattoos pay homage to horror in pop culture. Artist Xu Zhicheng of Tianzhilong Tattoo in Beijing says in his interview that he finds inspiration for his large-scale dark work in vampire films, not personal angst. In this chapter, you will find everything from shrunken heads to Frankensteins to even famous tattoo artists rendered as zombies.
