In den letzten vierzig Jahren hat der legendäre Tätowierkünstler und Historiker Henk Schiffmacher all sein Herzblut in diese Sammlung gesteckt und Originalzeichnungen (in der Branche als Flash bekannt), Lithographien, Radierungen, Tätowierinstrumente, Gemälde, Fotos, Poster, Ladenschilder, Designs und sonstige Artefakte aus aller Welt zusammengetragen - darunter extrem seltene Vintage-Flash-Blätter von bedeutenden Meistern der frühen westlichen Tätowierung. Dieser Band dokumentiert in fünf Kapiteln Schiffmachers Lebenswerk und die weltweite Verbreitung und Vielfalt dieser besonderen Kunstform - darunter Tätowierungen der Maori und der Inselbewohner des Südpazifiks, der alten Traditionen Asiens und der Ursprünge der alten westlichen Schule in Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten. Das Buch, zugleich Geschichtsbuch, Kunstbuch und faszinierendes Memoir, bewegt sich durch über 200 Jahre Tätowiergeschichte von den 1730er bis in die 1970er Jahre und zeigt intime Einblicke in das Leben der Tattoo-Künstler, deren persönliche Kämpfe und Triumphe, ihre beruflichen Risiken und den kreativen Mut, die ihre Geschichte prägten. Abgerundet wird der Band durch ein Dutzend von Schiffmachers Originalillustrationen in seinem unnachahmlichen Stil und eine persönliche Einführung. In diesen privaten Reflexionen beschreibt er seinen Werdegang als Künstler und Sammler sowie die eigene faszinierende Sicht auf den Weg dieser Kunst vom Underground zum Mainstream. Zugleich erfährt man die abenteuerlichen Geschichten rund um die Entstehung seiner Sammlung - einer der größten Tätowierungskollektionen der Welt - aus der Perspektive eines Kenners und Autodidakten, der diese Kunst und ihre Innovatoren wie kaum ein anderer liebt und verehrt.
