The Big Book of Tattoo

Enter a visual smorgasbord of tattoo imagery. Hundreds of photographs | thousands of tattoos. This incredible assembly of historic tattoo images dates back to the invention of the camera and follows the art form's progression through the 1970s. Here is a celebration of tattoo and people who enjoy the art form. The images document tattoo designs varying from testaments of love and military badges | religious imagery | and tribal markings. Shown are circus performers who exhibit neck-to-toe art; Navy boys who proudly sport new sets of sails | and men and women who show off lifetime collections. Here | too | are the daring young women who defied convention by tattooing and piercing their bodies during the early 1960s and '70s.
