Historical Tattoo
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Totally awesome... I'm only halfway through but anyone interested in tattoo (culture, history, development, art, etc.) and its roots in NYC should have this book. Full of interviews & pictures... there's a lot here and a lot of information to digest, esp. about Brooklyn, Lower East Side, Bowery, etc. I can't reccommend this book enough! So get it!
A Book of Salty Tales
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Excellent book. It takes you back to a different era, when tattoo shops were only on the rough side of town, and the tattooers were salty old dogs who took no guff from anyone. Full of humor in the recollections of many well respected old-timers. Very interesting to see the slight differences in recollection, by the subjects' memories of things that happened. Excellent prints of traditional flash and old photos.
Absolute Must Have
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
So few texts have been written based on quality research into old-school/traditional style tattoos, but this one stands out as a shining example. Wonderfully laid out, providing both a historic, relationship, and spatial vision of what the tattoo culture was from just before WW 2 until the late 60's. Excellent, and I highly recommend for anyone's collection.
