CHRISTIAN WARLICH: TATTOO FLASH BOOK (HB)

Christian Warlich was a world-famous German tattooist and his flash book is one of the most coveted objects in the tattoo world. Intricate renderings of cowboys and Indigenous Americans, Chinese dragons and Japanese geishas, daggers, snakes, and skulls reveal not only Warlich's influence in the iconography of tattoos, but also suggest the interplay of ideas with tattooists across Europe, North America, and Asia. This book brings Warlich's career into new focus, reflecting the latest research on how his early years at sea may have influenced his work.
