With a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, details and anecdotes, Tattoo preserves many unique and valuable items of tattoo culture, including:

Historical stencils and flash
Customised machines, traditional hand-tools and animal-marking equipment
Collector's cards, bubblegum cards and transfers
Memorabilia and tributes relating to tattoo legends such as George Burchett and The Great Omi
Postcards, toys, ornaments, T-shirts and other merchandise
Supply catalogues, magazines, books and art
Rare ephemera - awards, badges, business cards, convention passes, postage stamps and hand-drawn signs

LAL HARDY was born in London in 1958. He opened New Wave Tattoo in north London's Muswell Hill when he was just twenty-one years old. Lal is part of an international community of highly respected tattoo artists. This is his sixth book.
