This book focuses on the traditional (old school) style of
tattooing and its ongoing impact on today's tattoo art. More than
300 stunning color photos are combined with tattoo artists'
personal explanations of why they love to work in the traditional
style, and the artistic challenges that it poses today. For the
fifteen tattoo artists in this book, the essence of real and true
tattooing is the traditional one: bold lines, simple motifs, black
and red colors-tattoos built to last on the skin. From the early
beginnings in the late 19th century among sailors, traditional
tattoos have been developed further by today's tattoo artists.
Neo-traditional, Americana, new school, old school-the names are
many, but all have that single common heritage: they are based on
the simple lines created on the sailors' skins many years ago.
