Cultura Tattoo Sketchbook

Here's a book that's inspired by the Mexican culture and history. Artist Tattoo Duke has gathered his collection of drawings, from fully rendered color images, to collages and unique hand sketches, and compiled them into this amazing reference source. Not only does this book feature artwork that could be described as "Gangsta" or "Street," but it also features Aztec warriors, Raza-style artwork, Graffiti Art, even American Indian themes. The key, as with all art, is the shading. When the shading is done correctly it changes the entire impact of the artwork, whether it's rendered in full color or simply sketched in black & grey. This book features everything from beautifully, fully-shaded intricate collages, to simple sketches showing the design process. Tattoo Duke's artwork is a must for any artist/client that celebrates Mexican culture through tattoo designs.

In analyses of tattoo contests, advertising, and modern primitive photographs, the book shows how images of tattooed bodies communicate and disrupt notions of gender, class, and exoticism through their discursive performances. Fenske suggests working within dominant discourse to represent and subvert oppressive gender and class evaluations.

Tattoos as art, work, decoration and defiance.

Tattoos are a highly visible social and cultural sight, from TV series that represent the lives of tattoo artists and their interactions with clients, to world-class sports stars and the social actors we meet on a daily basis who display visible tattoo designs. Whereas in the not-to-distant past tattoos were commonly culturally perceived to represent an outward sign of social non-conformity or even deviance, tattoos now increasingly transcend class, gender, and age boundaries and arguably are now more culturally acceptable than they have ever been. But why is this the case, and why do so many social actors elect to wear tattoos? Tattoo Culture explores these questions from historical, cultural and media perspectives, but also from the heart of the culture itself, from the dynamics of the tattoo studio, the work of the artist and the world of the tattoo convention, to the perspective of the social actors who bear designs to investigate the meanings which lie being the images. It critically examines the ways in which tattoos alter social actors’ sense of being and their relationship with time in the semiotic ways with which they communicate, to themselves or to the wider world, key elements of their bodily and personal identity and sense of being.
