Artists came up at the beginning of Tattoo s modern renaissance in the mid 1990 s, but
steeped nonetheless in the traditions of their craft. Whether these gifted tattooists are
creating a modern twist on a classic archetype, or pushing the boundaries of the future
primitives aesthetic, innovation is the common goal.

The second book in an ongoing series from the seminal West Coast art and culture magazine, Juxtapoz Tattoo focuses on a subject very dear to the inked hearts of its readers.
Most of the featured artists came up at the beginning of Tattoo s modern renaissance in the mid 1990 s, hungry for a new approach, but steeped nonetheless in the traditions of their craft. Whether these gifted tattooists are creating a modern twist on a classic archetype, or pushing the boundaries of the future primitives aesthetic, innovation is the common goal.
Featured tattooists include; Troy Penning, Alex McWatt, Brian Randolph and Chris O Donnell of New York Adorned, Scott Campbell, Daniel Trocchio, Steve Boltz, Bert Krak, Henry Lewis, Joseph Ari Aloi, Jason Schroder, Eli Quinters and more.
This book is very cool. My only complaint is that it doesn’t feature enough art, although another 500 pages wouldn’t have been enough for me. Overall, some very cool artists are featured and the book has a decent range of styles.
This book has wonderful, close-up color images. The book includes information about tattoo artists with their work, which is a feature most tattoo books lack. I bought this book for a friend of mine who is into tattoo art. He loved it.
A good contemporary overview of relatively the more prolific of today’s tattoo artists. Great photographs, quality bound, a good publication expected from Juxtapoz. If your into traditional tattooing with a mix of new school methods, add this to your library.
this is a great book. the picture quality is great and there is good diversity in style. i love that it’s a hard cover.
This book focuses on a handful of great tattoo artist, mainly on the west coast with samples of tattoo work for each artist. There are 2-5 pieces per artist, and the photos are very well done. Each artist has a little bio. I wish there was more content on each artist, but the purpose of the book is to just give you a glimpse of each – so if you want to know more about them then go look them up! My only other wish was that there focused on more people in other parts of the USA or world – maybe that is for a later book!
This is a great book filled with some great tattoo artists! Use for inspiration (and for what you don’t want too) or to just to appreciate the fine art of tattoo. It is filled with some of the funniest, wackiest, and why in the world would anyone put that on their body, and yikes! i would hate to be the artist that had to tattoo that there – kind of tattoos. Also you meet some of the most talented artists in the nation with a short blurb about them… Don’t need much info though about them, their art speaks for them.
Perfect size book, very nice pictures and good tattoo artists presentations.
Very good initiative from Juxtapoz magazine.
Has to be purchased with the Illustration one.
Can’t wait the following to complete the collection.
This book is okay if your after picture after picture of tattoo’s already on people’s bodies.But If your a Juxtapoz lover its a little disapointing.
Coming from a magazine that blows your mind with increadable art and artists and going off their tattoo specials this book isn’t all you would expect it to be, It has beautiful tattoo’s and some of the best tattoo artists of today, But being Juxtapoz I expect a little more….
