Opis

Engaging and insightful, *The World Atlas of Tattoo* is an excellently illustrated reference guide that explores the intersection between tattoo artists and their individual perceptions of the world around them. This book offers a detailed and nuanced exploration of tattooing as a globally popular art form. Structured by region, each chapter begins with a brief historical summary of the traditional tattoo techniques used in that part of the world. This approach allows readers to follow historical influences in the careers of some highlighted tattooists, while also appreciating how other artists have innovated to create unique tattoo styles that go beyond traditional boundaries. Additionally, the book examines how tattoo styles have migrated from their original locales to diasporic communities, where they have often evolved into creative, multicultural, hybrid forms.
