A lavishly illustrated global exploration of the vast array of
styles and most significant practitioners of tattoo from ancient
times to today Tattoo art and practice has seen radical changes in
the 21st century, as its popularity has exploded. An expanding
number of tattoo artists have been mining the past for lost
traditions and innovating with new technology. An enormous
diversity of styles, genres, and techniques has emerged, ranging
from geometric blackwork to vibrant, painterly styles, and from
hand-tattooed works to machine-produced designs. With over 700
stunning color illustrations, this volume considers historical and
contemporary tattoo practices in Europe, the Americas, the Middle
East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Australia, and the
Pacific Islands. Each section, dedicated to a specific geographic
region, features fascinating text by tattoo experts that explores
the history and traditions native to that area as well as current
styles and trends. The World Atlas of Tattoo also tracks the
movement of styles from their indigenous settings to diasporic
communities, where they have often been transformed into creative,
multicultural, hybrid designs. The work of 100 notable artists from
around the globe is showcased in this definitive reference on a
widespread and intriguing art practice.
