Graffiti Tattoo Vol. 2

After the great international success of the first Graffiti Tattoo book, the authors Alain Ket Maridueña and Don Stone Karl ventured out to discover many more artists across the globe, that merge those two vivid art forms. Graffiti Tattoo 2 is the biggest and most informative tattoo book that documents the transition that graffiti writers are increasingly making into the tattoo world. Since the 70s graffiti artists have made the leap to become muralists, fashion designers, art directors, and as of late tattoo artists. Similar to the graffiti movement in which the artists battle with one another in the public eye to be the best and most respected, the same goes within the tattoo world. These spray paint technicians with their color mastery and wild styles are making a splash worldwide and changing the face of the tattoo business using a language filled with graffiti style burners and characters that are a departure from the standard tribal design and sailor styles. While the first book allowed a rare glimpse into this movement, this much larger successor provides a full-blown compendium of these fantastic burners on skin. Join us in celebrating the artwork of the best artists who have made the transition from the streets to the tattoo shops around the world, including Blen167, Chucho, Franz Jager, Kaves, Jason Kundell, Logan, Norm, Sabe, and many others.
