Biased and offensive insight into tattoo history
Someone re-issued this book again?? Tattoo is a weird book. It was originally published in 1933 and is a classic example of tattoo stigma. Page after page of made up "facts" about tattooed men and women and all the horrible things they do/are/etc. Please read this book only as an example of a historical viewpoint on tattooing, not as actual tattoo history.

This review is from: Tattoo: Secrets of a Strange Art (Paperback)

It has information in it from interviews with the fore fathers of modern tattooing including Wagner, Oreilly and Lew the jew just to name a few. I have been tattooing for 20 plus years and i still consider this to be the most accurate compilation of history around the greatest american tattooers that have come before us. Sure there is references to things that may upset, the Homophobic or typical redneck (fly by night tattooist), but considering, that the author Albert Parry was an outstanding journilist in his day,the information here is spot on. and can be checked at the tattoo archives and they to give this book credence. This book i reccomend for the serious tattoer its inexpensive and a great book! |
