Japan is the source of some of the most striking tattoo images known, and this book is filled with full-color photos of back tattoos from all over the world. Heroes and monsters, demons and gods, creatures of the land, sea and sky, legends from the past and more are all represented here; there's also a good selection of non-Japanese images, such as tribal-style tattoos. You can get ideas for your next ink here, or just enjoy the beauty and artistry! All color. Softcover with dust jacket. English and Japanese text.
