Critics Review
A priceless mine of gold and ink. * liberation.fr *This book is so badass, loaded with fantastic shit from the history of tattooing that I’ve collected over 40 years. There’s a lot of stuff in it that’s never been seen before. This has been a serious labor of love. * Henk Schiffmacher *
