Tattoo Tuesday: 28th August 2012

Good evening! How was your bank holiday weekend? I celebrated my birthday yesterday and got lots of goodies. Today I’m going to share with you something I will be treating myself to soon with my  birthday spends:

The cover itself looks awesome – Especially the biological heart!

“Tattoos, which were once an exclusively underground phenomenon, now have mass appeal. This evolution from sub culture to mainstream has brought fresh ideas, tensions, and shifts with it. Traditionalists and innovators have staked out very different positions. Over the last few years, new influences from the realms of art, fashion, traditional tattoo art, and visual culture have given rise to a dynamic tattoo scene a new underground.”

“Forever breaks the mould of standard tattoo books and their typical display of flesh. This publication is an in-depth investigation of current developments in contemporary tattoo culture. It introduces key innovators and presents a broad range of styles and approaches. Quality photos and insightful texts document the new self-image of a rapidly expanding and extremely creative scene.”

Alex Binnie, Yann Black, Scott Campbell, Curly, El Monga, Fergadelic and Mike Giant are just some of the lovelies featured in this awesome book.

How awesome does this sound? You can purchase this book on Amazon here.

Mike likes to have fun with his couples on their wedding day (Just wait until you see some of the great moments – it looks like they had a ball on the day!)

Seriously, it looks like they had SO much fun!

“We met through a mutual friend while we were in college. James was on his way to a tattoo appointment and I tagged along to keep our mutual friend company. It was Halloween, so we went to a party together later that day and ended up at a diner at 4 in the morning. I was in costume as a Hindu goddess and covered in blue body paint, so I was pretty impressed that he would want to hang out with me all night.
