by Kirk and Cara Sheppard
US$22.00 + s/h
Fifty-two unique line art tattoo designs, boldly outlined, one per page, and ready for colouring or stencilling. While inspired by traditional North American and Japanese tattoos, each drawing is interpreted with a modern sensibility. A true product of the global tattoo industry today, The Tattoo Colouring Book is a high quality sourcebook for tattooists, apprentices, collectors, kids, artists, and anyone interested in tattoo art and culture.
"What a great idea! A coloring book full of big, bold flash drawings of tattoo designs, ready and waiting for kids and adults alike to see if they can stay within the lines... This is a simply wonderful item for anyone who loves tattoos."
-Bob Baxter, Skin & Ink Magazine, Feb. '07
