Tattoos are a mark of personal creativity, individuality -and in some cases- a rite of passage. Over the past two decades there is no denying that body art has become increasingly popular and as such the need/want to document the vast number of brilliant pieces has increased as well. This brings us to Chris Coppola’s ‘1,000 Tattoos’ a collaborative book between Rizzoli and Coppola that is aimed at profiling the next generation of skin art, with the selected artists being at the forefront of where tattoo art is going. Chris has been involved in music, skateboarding and tattoos throughout the 80’s and 90’s and is the creator and co-author of the art books ‘Tattooism’ – which has had a huge impact on the international tattoo scene- and ‘Tattoo Stickers Collectors’ as well as holding the title of editor in chief at Rise Tattoo magazine. With a wide range in diversity of tattoos in terms of geographic origin, culture, race and gender this is a must have for anyone trying to keep up with latest trends in tattoo design.
