The book’s hundreds of seductive pictures drip with exotic ephemera of the tattooist’s art, and pore-close detail of vibrantly coloured waves, fish, demons, snakes, birds, Virgin Marys – and especially strikingly – 1950s sci-fi film poster imagery. Confirmed blank canvasses may feel their resolution shaken.
