"The Colorful World of Tattoo Models" is an
intimate and, yes, colorful look at the some of the
world's best tattoo models. Representing the US, the UK
and various European countries, each model wears tattoos
that range from the traditional to the avant-garde.
Over 25 models fill this book, each with her own
chapter. The book uses extensive interviews with each of
the models to flesh out who they really are. Questions
include the type of modeling they prefer, how they
become a model, when they first become intrigued by
tattoos, and the stories behind some of their favorite
tattoos. But as good as the interviews are, it's the
photos that carry this book. In each case the lighting
is superb, the poses unusual and unusually intriguing.
Sexy, sometimes subtle and often erotic, these photos
are exceptional. Each chapter provides up to 30 images
of each model. Photos taken outside under natural light,
and photos created inside with carefully positioned
studio lights. The photographers, and there are a number
of talented men and women who've contributed to this
book, have captured the models at their most alluring,
and in some cases, most open and vulnerable.
Presented in a large, 10X10 format and printed on
heavy, high quality paper, this book is one that you can
pick up and open to any page. Each presents the world's
most beautiful models in a format that invites
examination. Page through it quickly the first time,
then come back again and again to read and wonder at the
words and images that spill off the page.
