Product Description
Product Description
Once a fringe phenomenon, tattooing is now a mainstream trend, and millions of people worldwide have body art. And each and every one of them has their own unique reasons and narratives as to why they chose to indelibly mark their bodies. Permanence is the first and only book to combine photographic portraits of people’s tattoos with the stories behind them, told in the subjects’ own words and handwriting. Artist, writer, and teacher Kip Fulbeck has brought together an incredibly diverse group of tattoos and individuals. Extensively tattooed himself, Fulbeck photographed subjects young and old, of all races, religions and political persuasions, from students to rock stars, to suburban mums to Hells Angels – each person with an original story to tell. Encompassing the joyful and the tragic, the hilariously impulsive and the deeply profound, Permanence presents the myriad voices and faces that make up the tattooed population today. Permanence includes interviews with celebrity tattooers Kat Von D and Oliver Peck, hardcore music pioneer Evan Seinfeld, and a few members of the general public, as well as a foreword by renowned tattooist Horitaka (a senior apprentice of Horiyoshi III). This unique book is a moving, entertaining, and enlightening composite portrait of the tattooed world. Kip Fulbeck is an award-winning artist, film maker and professor of art. He lives is Santa Barbara

I found this book quite interesting, it contains a collection of random people showing off their favourite tattoos and writing about them in their own handwriting, the book also contains interviews with Kat Von D and Oliver Peck talking about their experiences working in their profession. This book doesn't just contain some really aesthetically striking tattoos but ones with sentimental value, ones to honour lost friends and family, ones which are the result of real hardships and some which are just simply wacky. I would definetly recommend this book if like me you want to know the person underneath the ink
