Tattootime issue number three, one of the five that
any serious tattoo books collector must have.
Editor Ed Hardy pulled off another great issue with
tons of fantastic photographs, the usual killer "su-
ggested further reading" sections, and contributi-
ons from interesting guest writers.
The topics covered in "Music & Sea Tattoos": orig-
ins of sea and water tattoos (by none other than
Dan Thomé), sailors' tattoos (background and typ-
ical motifs), photographic essays on mermaid and
pirate tattoos, the traditional Rock Of Ages tattoo
(historical background and execution by different
tattooists), sea and water tattoos in Japan, the
tattoo revolution amongst hip Japanese youngst-
ers, Punk Rock tattoos, and music and tattoos in
general.
Plus an interview with the legendardy old-timer
Pinky Yun, and profiles on Greg Irons, Doc Webb,
Bob Roberts, and Leo Zulueta.
Tattoo City San Francisco (owned by Don Ed Har-
dy) still carries some of the Tattootime issues.
Tattootime 01 "New Tribalism" and Tattootime 04
