Description
Stizzo, the proud owner of Best of Times Tattoo, presents the best work to come out of his famous parlor in Milan, Italy, in the form of beautiful flash, and provides an intimate look into the house artists in action. At turns exotic, religious, and cryptic, but always classy, highly detailed, and distinct, their work and their legacy could spark a new generation of artists who care about tradition and aren’t afraid to push their skills to the limit. Showcased on textured paper, the vibrant, iconographic art and bold designs look just as outstanding on artificial surfaces as they would on skin. Enthusiasts and ambitious tattoo artists who hope to imitate these remarkable samples will appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into Stizzo, Max Brain, and Pellico’s craft, which they can catch a glimpse of–at the drawing board and in the studio–in arresting black and white and color photography.

I don't have any tattoos, but I appreciate good tattoo art. The problem is so much of the stuff I see lacks the kind of serious art to make it interesting. 'Italian Tattoo Flash: The Best of Times Collection' shows the artsier side of tattoo design.
Flash are the designs that tattoo artists draw on paper. The three artists here all work at Best of Times Tattoo in Milan, Italy. The artists are Max Brain, Stizzo (the owner of the parlor) and Silvio Pellico. The art is grouped by artist and also features pictures of the artists at work.
The designs are stunning. With minimal colors there are animals, women, religious objects and historical objects. The art all has a retro sort of style to it and is very detailed. My favorite artist of the three is Pellico, but all the artists feature designs that I really liked. Maybe not enough for me to get a tattoo, but definitely artistic choices.
I was given a review copy of this ebook by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this interesting, artistic book.
