This book includes step-by-step guides to lettering design from a wide array of leading tattoo artists. Covering the history and context of tattoo design, as well as offering a comprehensive instruction in hand lettering, this guide is packed with enough detail to fascinate anyone interested in tattoo design. The Graphic Art of Tattoo Lettering is as much a technical handbook for professional tattoo artists as it is an introduction to the manner in which tattoo styles inform other graphic arts.
