Summary:

Once reviled by polite society as the province of sailors, soldiers, bikers, and the lower class, tattooing has finally entered the mainstream. Proudly displayed by celebrities, pop stars, and the average person on the street, tattooing has emerged from the taint of the back alley parlor and entered the realm of high fashion. Seen by many as an indispensable means of personal expression, body art has entered into its golden age.

Tattoo explores the burgeoning phenomena of this most personal of art forms with over 65 full color and black and white original photos. Meticulously researched, beautifully photographed and presented with comments and observations by the subjects, Dale Durfee presents the very best examples of the modern tattoo. With amazing designs and remarkable people, Tattoo is an inspiring and entertaining collection of one of the world's oldest forms of body decoration.
