Sinossi
Il tatuaggio è diventato una moda, ampiamente praticato e ricercato soprattutto dal punto di vista estetico. Le origini di questa pratica si perdono però nella notte dei tempi e forse anche íl suo significato e funzione. Un vero esperto in materia come Jérome Pierrat ne ripercorre la storia, accompagnato dalle tavole di Alfred: prima, come rito iniziatico, marchio di infamia presso alcuni popoli o di onore per altri, si è diffuso anche in Occidente favorito dalle spedizioni scientifiche nel Pacifico, fino a diventare un tratto distintivo di marinai, delinquenti nonché di alcune teste coronate... fino ai giorni nostri, in cui il tatuaggio serve a costruire la propria identità.

An informative, fun read. Happy I picked it up.
Brief history of tattooing across all cultures and times. Although a decent history--many interesting facts and trivia--there was not as much on inks, techniques, machines, styles, and technical details as I'd hoped. Illustrations were good, following the narrative in a form of socratic dialogue bet Leggi tutto
truly a little book of knowledge! packed with a well-researched history of tattooing, matched by beautiful art. can't really expect it to go in-depth at just ~60 pages, but definitely a great jump off point. wrote down so many names & terms for further reading :)
Read the German version (which I can't find here..). It was a rather short but interesting read. But, now I'm intrigued to find books with more content..
