Prismatic Pictures: Inked postcard books

For your delectation we have these nifty postcard books which delve into the wonderful world of tattoo culture.

Printed by Calverts for Duggan Collingwood and Prismatic Pictures each book documents a visual history of tattooing through a series of 22 cards.

You might find a copy or two in Vagabond, our friendly neighbourhood tattoo parlour – the go to place for Hackney cognoscenti and renowned broadcasters to get inked.

Alternatively, trailblazers might want to consider booking a session on Tatoué – the world’s first 3-D tattoo machine. Those of a sensitive nature look away now (or don’t click that link!).
