Found on anonymous corpses. In switzerland. Collected by the Musée de l’Art Brut, Lausanne

NYC is a rare place where good tattoos are the rule, not the exception. My friend Mark Cross from SB works at East River tattoo Brooklyn and makes very beautiful pieces. The rhino in not by Mark, but I will have to ask Richie about the artist…

Our friend Yoni Zilber belongs to a rare category of tattooists with a flawless technique. No wonder he can pull off to make a design by Angelique look as good as the original. Chapeau

After years of getting ripped off her amazingly refined designs, Angelique has decided to publish an official line-drawing book. A blessing for the uninspired artists looking for beyond-their-reach designs to rip off (and obviously, take credit for) and inspired ones too, looking for a new challenge in terms of quality level to match.

One of my daily reads is this blog, http://theselvedgeyard.wordpress.com

It is a well written document in historic subculture, amongst the archives you will find some great articles on tattooists who helped mould tattooing into what it is today.
