Tattoo Secrets of a Strange Art A must for the tattoo history buff...Texas Bob Wicks, Charlie Wagner, J Conway and more....Charming and crude, discreet and boldly exhibitionistic--tattoos come in a dizzying range of styles and express an extraordinary range of sentiments. This pioneering survey approaches body art from a variety of angles, including artistic, semiotic, psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives. Originally published in 1933, it was among the first study to analyze the subconscious motivations behind tattooing and to expose the practice's erotic implications. The author ventures from waterfront tattoo parlors to circus midways, profiling many of the great tattoo artists and examining their craft's overt and subliminal messages of membership in a select society, romantic devotion, patriotism, and religious fervor. 208 Pages 5 3/8 x 8 1/2
