Summary

"Delve into the meaning and significance of 130 tattoo symbols with this exploration of the rich cultural history of body art. Tattoos are one of the most popular ways of expressing our identity and beliefs and involve a complex language of meanings. For example, a lotus flower, koi carp swimming upstream or a dragon rising toward the sun are all symbols of strength and overcoming adversity. Each of the symbols featured in this book is illustrated with stunning, specially drawn visuals by acclaimed artist and tattooist Oliver 'Megamunden' Munden, with accompanying text by tattoo expert Nick Schonberger. Both a visual delight and a fascinating insight into the cultural heritage of tattooing, this is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn more about tattoo symbolism, in need of inspiration for their next inking, or who just loves tattoo art."--, Back cover
