Black & Grey Tattoo: Volume 2: Dark / Horror
9.5x12.5” 400 pages!!! HUGE!!! HARDCOVER
Text in English, German & Spanish. This volume delves into personal demons relayed on skin. Paul Booth, often described as the "Dark Lord of Tattooing", reveals some of the reasons why people get these tattoos as well as how his own demons have driven his art. Other tattoos pay homage to horror in pop culture. Artist Xu Zhicheng of Tianzhilong Tattoo in Beijing says in his interview that he finds inspiration for his large-scale dark work in vampire films, not personal angst. In this chapter, you will find everything from shrunken heads to Frankensteins to even famous tattoo artists rendered as zombies.
This is a beast !! its heavy and its loaded with amazing pictures using high quality paper. There are nightmares in this book….but for any artist or tattoo enthusiasts out there that love demons, bleeding skulls, more demons and general nastiness then I highly recommend this book for your shelf.
The pages themselves are quite thick and they hold full page images of tattoos. Some are arm sleeves, showing all sides of the arm, some are full body shots or back tattoos and some are pictures of the original art itself. The artist for each pic is noted underneath each picture so you know who is responsible. The art is incredible!!
