A vivid look at the artists devoted to developing original styles and advancing tattoo art to new mediums—includes 32 tattoo artists and nearly 350 images of their work.
With this second volume of Tattoo Is Me, the frontiers of tattoo art are revisited. The 32 artists participating in this art book offer a unique journey and a fresh look at the worldwide tattoo art revolution. Tattoo Is Me 2 shows the extensive possibilities of the styles and careers of the artists appearing in this volume--from art nouveau to American old school, from book design to developing clothing brands, from the most well-known, key-figures of the international tattoo scene to the newcomers steeped in culture outside tattooing.
Over the years the history of tattoo art has presented us artistic movements such as Symbolism, Japonism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism and many others. Now we can add Tattoo Is Me, the artistic roots of which feed the tattooists of today and mix with other cultures, whether they are urban, ethnic, modern or ancestral. Tattoo Is Me 2 is the logical result of the creative journey.
