Hardback
- Information
Description
Text in English, German & Spanish. This volume is somewhat of a misnomer as it's simply called "black & grey" in the tattoo community.
But now that greyscale tattooing has moved in different artistic directions, the "traditional" label is used to set it apart from its offshoots.
Traditional black & grey denotes tattoo art that has stayed true to its roots -- a time when home-made machines made of cassette motors and guitar strings dipped in India ink and wash were used to mark skin.
The essence of black & grey art is captured in the photography of co-author Edgar Hoill.
Select imagery, with quotes from the artists and collectors, leads this volume followed by interviews with Jack Rudy, the Godfather of Black & Grey; as well as tattoo prodigy Jesus "Chuey" Quintanar.
Their stories and tattoo work precede the gallery, which includes tattoos from other pioneers of the style: Freddy Negrete, Brian Everett, and Mark Mahoney.
