About this ebook
female country singers to ceremonially tattooed headhunters indigenous to
the Philippines-and everything in between!
Well, we've set this up as an international whirlwind tattoo experience, so let's
start much farther than across the pond with Travel in' Mick in Krakow, Poland where
he spent a long weekend documenting some incredible examples and info on one
of Europe's premier tattoo events. Before heading back to the States don't forget to
check out the aforementioned historical piece on the lgorot headhunters of the
Philippines. Then we have two stops in the UK to check out the work of the sensational
Ollie Tye's conceptual realistic portrait work, and the hyperrealistic work of
Jose Contreras' black and grey portraits and rich color pieces. Those two can do it
all at a super high level.
OK, back in the good ol' USA and we really have a select series of features for
you to enjoy and get inspired by. First we hit the Big Apple hard with Brooklyn's own
Leathernecks Tattoo, headed up by ex-Marine Kenny "K-Bar." He and his busy team
of ink slingers have been kicking out some great work. Then it's on to the New York
City Tattoo Convention. No one knew what to expect with this being its first year out
of the historic Roseland and in its new digs, but it was a massive success! Speaking
of hitting things hard, we stopped in at the Black N' Blue Bowl where hardcore
meets ink in a mosh pit of tattoos and sweat.
Time to visit some friends from around the country. Frank Weber kicks it old
school, Mariann and Jasmin fight for animal rights, and don't forget the Dana
Brunson and Nate Beavers columns, plus our gorgeous goofball cover girl Sara X.
