This is the magnum opus by one of the world’s best known tattoo
artists, Henk Schiffmacher, also known as Hanky Panky. Following
the massive success of the Dutch edition in the fall of 2008, we now
set out to publish the English edition this fall.
The Tattoo Encyclopedia is a big, full-colour illustrated history of
tattooing, filled with unique pictures of tattoos, artifacts and drawings
that Schiffmacher has collected during his travels.
These illustrations are accompanied by anecdotes and information
on key historical events and figures in tattooing. This phenomenal
from A to Z-encyclopedia will ensure that tattooing is finally
accepted as a serious art form.
