Exposé: The Art of Tattoo by Tim O'Sullivan, 1993
The pictures is this book illustrate the illustrated people, the rich variety of those who have continued an ancient practice into the late twentieth century.
“When we walk down the street and see the end of a tattoo emerging from a shirt sleeve we can experience our prejudice and suspicion regarding people who have made a permanent statement for life, who risk placing themselves outside normal society. These curators of a mostly hidden art undermine our confidence to perceive the truth in a person. Cover up the tattoos in this book with your hand and you can recognise the faces of ordinary people, the newsagent, the sales rep or the smartly dressed woman sitting next to you on the bus, and realise that we are all part of the same humanity under our skins.”
