Hesselt van Dinter, Maarten : Tribal Tattoo Designs
- description
- additional information
Ethnische Tattoos.
"A great many cultures throughout the world have at one time or another practised tattooing: the decoration of the body by puncturing the skin in a specific design and inserting an indelible pigment. When from the 16th century onwards, European explorers and colonists started to make inroads in regions hitherto inknown in the West, they came into contact with civilisations where tatooing was an important cultural tradition. In their wake followed anthropologists, who described and recorded the designs and the customs associated with them, and it are these records that form the basis of this book from the Pepin Press Design Series.
