Vintage Tattoos


Vintage Tattoos: The Book of Old-School Skin Art

Tattoos have gone from badges of rebellion to fashion statements fully absorbed into mainstream culture. They are enjoying a renaissance, with graphic designers and artists creating specialty tattoos for a growing audience, unleashing a revival of interest in the bawdy vintage tattoo. Old school tattoos are being rediscovered (sometimes ironically, sometimes not) by a new generation. Originally embraced by rebels, sailors, and gangsters, these tattoos—broken hearts, naked girls, floral motifs. This book contains some of the most brilliant designs, I took one of the designs from this book to a tattoo artist and had it put on my forearm. I would give this book a 4 out 5.
