Planet Ink
For thousands of years, people have engaged in ritualistic marking of the skin to identify themselves as a member of a tribe, of a lineage, of a mindset, or of a subculture. The ancient art of tattooing is a tradition we carry on to this day. While the past 10 years have seen no shortage of books about tattoos and tattooing, most are best described as “idea books.� Until now, none have profiled the world’s most renowned artists across a variety of styles. This book explores this most basic form of self-expression by showcasing the studios and work of 18 of the world’s top tattoo artists, including Sulu’ape Angela (San Diego), Aaron Bell (Seattle), Bugs (Los An...
The Mammoth Book of Tattoos
It is now estimated that as much as 10% of the population in the UK and USA carries a tattoo. The huge recent growth in tattoo culture has in turn led to an influx of new talented artists, advancements in pigments and refinement of the equipment used. This giant volume includes the very best of the new work made possible by modern improvements in tattoo art. Here are 500 striking photographic images of tattoos, covering all styles from bold 'tribal' pieces, Chinese characters and hieroglyphs to delicate air-brushed designs, and from all-over 'body suits' to individual motifs - works as distinctive as the bodies they adorn. Featuring the work of the Discovery Channel's L.A. Ink stars Corey Miller, Kim Saigh and Hannah Aitchinson, and London Ink's Nicole Lowe, Louis Molloy and Phil Kyle amongst many others.

Corpi dipinti
Che siano a colori, in bianco e nero, piccole iniziali sulle caviglie o arazzi che coprono tutto il corpo, che siano realizzati in una bettola del porto o con una lama e della fuliggine, i tatuaggi fanno parte da sempre della nostra storia. Osservando le tracce che gli esseri umani hanno impresso sulla loro pelle, possiamo comprendere persone, luoghi e momenti storici. Siamo abituati a pensare alle opere d’arte nei musei come a dei portali di accesso al nostro passato, ma a volte sembriamo ignorare che un ago, nel forare la pelle, deposita nel derma non solo l’inchiostro ma anche la storia delle nostre civiltà. Il corpo è una tela bianca che abbiamo imparato a dipingere, incidere, colo...

Flyer'dam
Collecting more than 2,000 fliers and posters for Rotterdam nightlife and cultural events, "Flyer'dam" reads like a catalogue raisonné for the design history of that city's now-infamous clubbing-scene of the past 30 years--but without the pedagogy. Flyers and posters for parties, events and concerts from the 1980s through today are reproduced in giddy spreads that sometimes capture as many 20 vibrant items of ephemera per page. The rise of house, acid, gabber, illegal parties and R-and-B, as well as techno, drum 'n' bass, hip-hop, breakbeatz, the alternative scene and art pop parties are all documented here, along with profiles of clubbers--mainly young and urban--and trends in graphic styl...
