Tattoos, which were once an exclusively underground phenomenon, now have mass appeal. This evolution from sub-culture to mainstream has brought fresh ideas, tensions, and shifts with it, and traditionalists and innovators have staked out very different positions. Over the last few years, new influences from the realms of art, fashion, traditional tattoo art, and visual culture have given rise to a dynamic tattoo scene―a new underground. This cutting-edge tattoo culture is as innovative, diverse, inspiring, and controversial as the motifs it creates. One of the most striking facets of this new tattoo scene is its interaction with high fashion and art. The internationally successful artists Scott Campbell or Usugrow, to name just two high-profile examples, began their careers as tattoo artists. Forever breaks the mold of standard tattoo books and their typical displays of flesh. This publication is an in-depth investigation of current developments in contemporary tattoo culture. It introduces key innovators and presents a broad range of styles and approaches. Quality photos and insightful texts document the new self-image of a rapidly expanding and extremely creative scene.

Rad coffee table or reference book. Nice little profiles on some cool artists. I recommend for your tattoo art book collection

Love it, even though...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

It could have come with some pictures a little more clear. Even though it is great, it serves more of a sort of "look at what this artist did on this person, from kinda of far away" type of book. I guess this can be the mark of a good book in the sense that It leaves you wanting to see more.

I had browsed through one copy in a book shop in Hong Kong and decided to buy it from amazon. Some of the tattoos here are truly a work of art and for that the book deserves 5 stars. I just wish some of the pictures had been taken with the intent to be very clear to the reader/ viewer, whereas I think the intention was more to give one a brief look.

Still great though and I think it works for people of all tastes. It is beautiful and still worth it. Get it.

Terrific book, lovingly presented. Showcasing some of the most exciting artists from around the world. Artists that are at the bleeding-edge of the artform. Easily my favourite book on the subject.

Nice cover and also few pages but there are a lot of them that doesn't worth it. I thought it had more tattoo illustrations and less photos.

I bought this book for inspiration for my own tattoo ideas, though a lot of the work isn't to my taste I still enjoyed flicking through it. If you are a fan of any of the artists featured in this book, I would recommend it.
