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.

INTRODUCTION
When I first took a decidedly serious interest in the colourful world of
tattooing and body adornment in the early 1970s it was almost impossible
to find any printed information on this ancient and fascinating art form.
A little bit of research revealed that two books had been published in
Britain, both of them way back in the 1950s George Burchett and Peter
Leightons Memoirs of a Tattoo Artist and Hanns Ebenstens Pierced
Hearts and True Love . However, trying to locate them proved a futile task
according to the chief librarian at my local library, both titles had been
stolen some time ago!
Then, one day in 1974, I asked
again at a large bookshop if they had any
books on tattooing, fully expecting to be
told that they did not. Instead the assistant
walked over to one of the lower shelves
and presented me with a copy of a newly
published book entitled Skin Deep The
Mystery of Tattooing by Ronald Scutt
and Christopher Gotch. I handed over
the princely sum of 8.50 (I was earning
23 a week in those days) and headed
home to devour the contents. Reading it,
I was transported to the Orient, the South
Seas, Borneo, and other exotic locations
described by the authors in an informative
text illustrated by hundreds of photos of
tattoos. In retrospect, the photos in the
book dont show the best quality tattooing

Aaron Hewitt
The Teddy boy revival and punk movements
of the 1970s revived interest in tattooing and
by the 1980s the tattoo ball was well and truly
rolling. Although most tattoo studios were off
the beaten track and the trade was pretty much a secret society, a few
more publications were coming off the presses. In 1982, Don Ed Hardy
