The World Atlas of Tattoo is a vibrant and well-informed showcase of the top 100 tattoo artists at work in the world today from Nazareno Tubaro in Buenos Aires to Colin Dale in Copenhagen, and from Susanne ?Susa? König in Amsterdam to Jill ?Horiyuki? Bonny in California and Steve Ma Ching in New Zealand. Organized geographically, each section is introduced by a concise overview of the types of tattooing traditionally practised in that region, enabling you to trace historical threads in the careers of some of the profiled contemporary tattooers, as well as marvel at how other artists have managed to create wholly new forms of tattooing. The styles and genres on show span a huge aesthetic range, from stark geometric blackwork to vibrantly coloured painterly masterpieces, and from tiny hand-tattooed shapes to vast machine-drawn designs that cover large areas of the body. The book also tracks the movement and development of styles from their indigenous settings, where they have often been transformed into creative, multicultural, hybrid designs. Written by an international team of experts, this comprehensive atlas will enlighten and excite anyone who is passionate about tattoo art in all its many forms.
