Inked: Tattoos and Body Art around the World [2 volumes] by Margo DeMello Pdf
In recent decades, tattoos have gone from being a subculture curiosity in Western culture to mainstream and commonplace. This two-volume set provides broad coverage of tattooing and body art in the United States today as well as around the world and throughout human history. In the 1960s, tattooing was illegal in many parts of the United States. Today, tattooing is fully ingrained in mainstream culture and is estimated to be a multi-billion-dollar industry. This exhaustive work contains approximately 400 entries on tattooing, providing historical information that enables readers to fully understand the methods employed, the meanings of, and the motivations behind tattooing—one of the most ancient ways humans mark themselves. The encyclopedia covers all important aspects of the topic of tattooing: the major types of tattooing, the cultural groups associated with tattooing, the regions of the world where tattooing has been performed, the origins of modern tattooing in prehistory, and the meaning of each society's use of tattoos. Major historical and contemporary figures associated with tattooing—including tattooists, tattooed people, and tattoo promoters—receive due attention for their contributions. The entries and sidebars also address the sociological movements involved with tattooing; the organizations; the media dedicated to tattooing, such as television shows, movies, magazines, websites, and books; and the popular conventions, carnivals, and fairs that have showcased tattooing.

"Danish Tattooing" traces the visual development from 1895 up to the present day, with the Golden Age of the 1960s particularly rich on fascinating tales from a rough scene. The book is full of anecdotes and historical photographs of larger-than-life characters and tattooing hotspots: the raw Nyhavn, where sailors and drunk Swedes got their tattoos, and the even rougher Istedgade, which developed into a new tattooing hub in the 1980s. Actually, Copenhagen was the heart and soul of tattooing in Scandinavia until the mid-seventies.
In Time After Time, fashion icon Minna Gilligan imparts her wisdom and penchant for mixing and matching fashion, and details contemporary ways to wear vintage things, in combination with current 'new' items of clothing. Minna's philosophy is that dressing has no rules or regulations other than what you impose on yourself, and that an outfit's greatest goal is to bring you joy and make you feel good. She aims to encourage and inspire readers to develop their individual style and explore their own creativity. Minna puts together outfits not unlike how she makes her collaging artwork - a seaming together of various elements plucked from different time periods into one cohesive yet still interesting entity in an ever playful and always colorful way. Chapters include advice for shopping at opportunity shops and thrift stores, second hand and flea markets as well as online stores such as Ebay and Etsy, with information about how much to spend, how to tell which era the clothing comes from, how to tell what type of fabrics are used and more. Minna's fashion editorial chapters show her modelling a range of fabulous themed outfits for a range of occasions such as Date Night, Beauty School Drop Out, Saturday Night at the Movies, Cherry Bomb and Party. Her outfits borrow elements from several decades and fashion eras and Minna shows just how to build a look that is fun and allows for your own self-expression. Utilizing Minna's stunning artwork and collages throughout the book on how to include accessories, buttons, collar details, shoes, hats and glasses, Time After Time is a color riot that is as beautiful as it is useful.

Russian Criminal Tattoo by Arkady Bronnikov,Stephen Sorrell Pdf
This book features over 180 photographs and accompanying texts of Russian criminal tattoos from the Arkady Bronnikov collection. From the mid-1960s to the late- 1980s Bronnikov worked as a senior expert in criminalistics at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, part of his duties involved visiting correctional institutions of the Ural and Siberia regions. It was here that he interviewed, gathered information and took photographs of convicts and their tattoos, building one of the most comprehensive archives of this phenomenon. He regularly helped to solve criminal cases across Russia by using his collection of tattoos to identify culprits and corpses. The Bronnikov collection was made exclusively for police use, to further the understanding of the language of these tattoos and to act as an aid in the identification and apprehension of criminals in the field. Unimpeded by artistry, these vernacular photographs present a guileless representation of criminal society. Every image discloses evidence of an inmate's character: aggressive, vulnerable, melancholic, conceited. Their bodies display an unofficial history, told not just through tattoos, but also in scars and missing digits. Closer inspection only confirms our inability to comprehend the unimaginable lives of this previously unacknowledged caste.
