      Synopsis

      Tattoos are sexy, fashionable, and creative. This compendium features over 480 designs by the world's leading young graphic artists for tattoos that are new, different, and edgy.Little has appeared that explores fresh designs for tattoos by contemporary graphic artists and designers. Tattoo Art & Design corrects this with designs by over 60 of today's up-and-coming designers. They draw inspiration from diverse cultures and media, and bridge the highly graphic world of skin art and the exploding creativity in graphic design communities worldwide. Among the featured designers are Kinpro, Klaus Haapaniemi, Marcus Oakley, Rex Koo, Rinzen, Musa Collective, and Stapelberg & Fritz. The designs featured here shatter the conventional notion of the tattoo. Gone are hearts inscribed with names, anchors, Celtic harps, or tribal bands. Instead, the tattoo designs are based on Japanese animé characters, abstract art, hip-hop culture, and Day-Glo pop art in a palette of vibrant colors and elaborate shapes. These fun and playful designs will inspire a new breed of tattoo artist as well as the next generation of graphic designers.

      Interviews about tattoos with people who don't have any.by Anonymous

      June 22, 2008: I bought this book on impulse without really looking through it. I think I was intrigued by the title. After having this book home for an hour, I jumped right back in my car and returned it. These were all 'stick-on' tattoos designed by people who didn't have any of their own. Then to top it, they interviewed these people on what they felt the significance if tattooing was within our culture. I can't imagine the lengths you would have to go to in order to convince a publisher that this book was a good idea. I haven't used this word since 8th grade, but this book was written by a bunch of...posers. Ouch.
