The
Tattoo History Source Book
by Steve Gilbert
Book Description: The Tattoo History Source Book is an exhaustingly
thorough, lavishly illustrated collection of historical records of tattooing
throughout the world, from ancient times to the present. Collected together
in one place, for the first time, are texts by explorers, journalists,
physicians, psychiatrists, anthropologists, scholars, novelists, criminologists,
and tattoo artists. A brief essay by Gilbert sets each chapter in an historical
context. Topics covered include the first written records of tattooing
by Greek and Roman authors; the dispersal of tattoo designs and techniques
throughout Polynesia; the discovery of Polynesian tattooing by European
explorers; Japanese tattooing; the first 19th-century European and American
tattoo artists; tattooed British royalty; the invention of the tattooing
machine; and tattooing in the circus. The anthology concludes with essays
by four prominent contemporary tattoo artists: Tricia Allen, Chuck Eldridge,
Lyle Tuttle, and Don Ed Hardy. The references at the end of each section
will provide an introduction to the extensive literature that has been
inspired by the ancient-but-neglected art of tattooing. Because of its
broad historical context, The Tattoo History Source Book will be of interest
to the general reader as well as art historians, tattoo fans, neurasthenics,
hebephrenics, and cyclothemics.

The
Tribal Tattoo Pack: Learn the Ancient Art of Tribal Body Decoration
by Andy Sloss
Book Description: The art of decorating the body with tattoos dates
back as early as the Ice Age. Although the use of tattoos among indigenous
peoples is waning, the practice lives on, as more and more people around
the world discover body art. Peoples from Central Asia and America, tribes
and nomads from North Africa and the Middle East, and the Australian Aborigines
and Maoris have a long tradition of practicing this art. Each design in
this pack is unique and carries its own special meaning, whether as religious
symbol, talisman, charm, indicator of status or position, or simply an
adornment. The Tribal Tattoo Pack includes instructions and materials to
create spectacular tribal designs, including four paints in vibrant, earthy
colors, transfer sheets, brush, and instructions. The meanings and myths
behind the patterns are clearly explained in the history of this fascinating
art.

Bodies
of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community
by Margo Demello
Book Description: Since the 1980s, tattooing has emerged anew in the
United States as a widely appealing cultural, artistic, and social form.
In Bodies of Inscription Margo DeMello explains how elite tattooists, magazine
editors, and leaders of tattoo organizations have downplayed the working-class
roots of tattooing in order to make it more palatable for middle-class
consumption. She shows how a completely new set of meanings derived primarily
from non-Western cultures has been created to give tattoos an exotic, primitive
flavor.
Community publications, tattoo conventions, articles in popular magazines,
and DeMello’s numerous interviews illustrate the interplay between class,
culture, and history that orchestrated a shift from traditional Americana
and biker tattoos to new forms using Celtic, tribal, and Japanese images.
DeMello’s extensive interviews reveal the divergent yet overlapping communities
formed by this class-based, American-style repackaging of the tattoo. After
describing how the tattoo has moved from a mark of patriotism or rebellion
to a symbol of exploration and status, the author returns to the predominantly
middle-class movement that celebrates its skin art as spiritual, poetic,
and self-empowering. Recognizing that the term “community” cannot capture
the variations and class conflict that continue to thrive within the larger
tattoo culture, DeMello finds in the discourse of tattooed people and their
artists a new and particular sense of community and explores the unexpected
relation! ship between this discourse and that of other social movements.
This ethnography of tattooing in America makes a substantive contribution
to the history of tattooing in addition to relating how communities form
around particular traditions and how the traditions themselves change with
the introduction of new participants. Bodies of Inscription will have broad
appeal and will be enjoyed by readers interested in cultural studies, American
studies, sociology, popular culture, and body art.
