Graffiti Tattoo Vol. 2

von ,

After the great international success of the first Graffiti Tattoo book,
the authors Alain Ket Maridueña and Don Stone Karl ventured out to
discover many more artists across the globe, that merge those two
vivid art forms. Graffiti Tattoo 2 is the biggest and most informative
tattoo book that documents the transition that graffiti writers are increasingly
making into the tattoo world. Since the 70s graffiti artists
have made the leap to become muralists, fashion designers, art directors,
and as of late tattoo artists. Similar to the graffiti movement
in which the artists battle with one another in the public eye to be the
best and most respected, the same goes within the tattoo world.
These spray paint technicians with their color mastery and wild styles
are making a splash worldwide and changing the face of the tattoo
business using a language filled with graffiti style burners and characters
that are a departure from the standard tribal design and sailor
styles. While the first book allowed a rare glimpse into this movement,
this much larger successor provides a full-blown compendium of
these fantastic burners on skin. Join us in celebrating the artwork of
the best artists who have made the transition from the streets to the
tattoo shops around the world, including Blen167, Chucho, Franz
Jager, Kaves, Jason Kundell, Logan, Norm, Sabe, and many others.
