Seller Description
Black Tattoo Art" delves into a history of tribal tattooing with interviews and insight provided by the "Godfather of tribal tattooing" Leo Zulueta as well as Peter Schachner—aka Lard Yao—a master of hand-poked Thai tattooing who learned the technique (and got the name) from the Thai prison where he was an inmate. Following that, each chapter is devoted to a different style, covering Neotribal, Dotwork, Traditional Revival, Thai/Buddhist and Art Brut and including 35 artists. Based on street art but designed to harmonize with the body, Art Brut is a style popular in France and Belgium, made famous by artists traditionally working outside of the fine art world. A wildly interesting style, Art Brut—or raw art—is curated for the first time since its emergence in Kakoulas' "Black Tattoo Art."
