A unique and stimulating book on the subject of tattooing in China.
After many years of traveling to Hong Kong and China, photographing
the elusive and secretive world of permanent body illustration,
British photographer and author Chris Wroblewski has produced the
world's first publication on the art of Chinese skin
illustration.With over 250 original images, showing the proud
wearers of body art, this book takes the reader on a journey
through China. From the mountains of Yunan, where the ethnic
tribespeople still maintain their tradition of marking the face
with butterfly designs that they believe will transport them to
heaven in the afterlife; across the plains of China to the
metropolis of Hong Kong and the equally colorful world of ancient
mariner tattoos.China Tattoo is provocative, substantially
researched, and filled with stunning images.
