Tattooing
From expressing cultural and religious beliefs to saying something about yourself as an individual, the tattoo is a form of communication, and an art form in its own right. This collection takes a comprehensive look at tattooing. Written in an even, neutral tone, the series shares technical information on getting inked, removing ink, top reasons why people get tattoos, and how tattoos are expressed throughout the world. A crisp, colorful design lays the framework for stunning color photographs and intriguing sidebars that get “under the skin” of these tattoo topics.
