tribal origin. "The Sketchbook" offers the reader a selection of 80 of these
unique designs by well-known and less famous, but very promising, tattoo artists from
around the world. Each artist was requested to create a sketch unrestrained by commercial
demands and which reflects their own personal motivations. |
