About The Author

Spider Webb

Spider Webb thrust tattooed bodies into the limelight and helped legitimize the art, when Pushing Ink first hit the streets in 1979. Webb has lectured internationally, and his paintings and photographs have been exhibited in galleries and museums, as well as on bodies, around the world. By day he operates a tattoo parlor at the Coney Island Museum, New York. By night, Webb fronts the outrageous Electric Crutch band and manufactures one-of-a-kind tattoo machines.
