Art

Tattoos are now worn not only by celebrities and leading media folk but also by everyone in the street. They can be boldly on display or hidden discretely and are a permanent expression of individuality. Tattooing has obviously finally emerged from the back street parlour to become high fashion. "Tattoo" contains over 65 superb colour and black and white photographs specially taken for this beautifully produced book. Award-winning photographer Dale Durfee has persuaded a variety of people from every walk of life to show their tattoos. There are close-up details and spectacular whole body canvasses. This is an inspiring and entertaining collection of body art - the ultimate celebration of one of the world's oldest forms of body decoration. It even includes some sensible and practical guidance on getting your first tattoo.
