Tattoo: Pigments of Imagination (Paperback)

First published in Britain, this colorful volume celebrates tattooing as an art of "delight, imagination, adventure and unusual creativity," in the words of Wroblewski, an English photographer who was first tattooed when he was 15. His pictures show many kinds of tattoos, including elaborate tattoos on punks (often on their scalps), classic American tattoos ("Mom" and girlfriends' names), tattoos worn by Maoris and people in Southeast Asia. In his informative essay, Wroblewski traces the history of tattoos, from the first evidence of its use on Egyptian mummies, dating from around 2000 B.C., through tribal popularity in Indonesia and Polynesia (the word derives from the Polynesian word tatau, to the extensive "subculture" of today. While many of these photographs will shock and disgust, some will be considered artas the wearers and tattooers wish. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Sailor Jerry Tattoo Stencils: Volume #1

American tattoo master Sailor Jerry Collins of Hawaii is best known for his remarkable tattoo designs, blending the fluidity of Asian motifs into classic American tattoo imagery. Until now, most of Sailor Jerry's work has been controlled by a handful of collectors, seen only at museum or art gallery exhibitions or in short-run, self-published books. Here is a sizeable portion of Sailor Jerry's stencils, the newest tattoo collectible, spanning his tattoo career, from the 1940s to the early 1970s. The basic line work of hundreds of his staple and surprisingly beautiful designs-pin-ups, roses, bluebirds, hearts, and banners, and Jerry's infamous military/political cartoons. The stencils themselves were handcut in celluloid, vinyl or acetate sheets by the master himself for use during his day-to-day thriving tattoo trade in downtown Honolulu. They are, in the best sense, permanent tattoos carved in plastic, enduring through time. In their original condition, most carry residual charcoal dust from their last use. All are signed by Jerry with one of his several distinctive signatures. This is the only book of its kind-a workbook for artists, and a design catalog for folk art historians. The value of the stencils is included, along with descriptions of stencils and their usage and a glossary of tattoo terminology.

Sailor Jerry Collins of Honolulu, Hawaii, is arguably the greatest tattoo artist of the 21st Century.
