Japanese Style Tattoo Art:

Revisiting Traditional Themes

by Rodrigo Melo

Hardcover 341-photo book that captures Rodrigo Melo's Japanese-style tattoos, including more than 150 lush full-color studio photographs of bodysuits, rib pieces, back pieces, and sleeves featuring traditional themes and imagery.

See peonies, koi, tigers, dragons, and characters from Buddhist mythology presented in authentic forms and colors but with some modern techniques and stylings, like the use of "angry black" to increase contrast. In addition to the body art pieces, this contemporary study of traditional Japanese tattoo styles includes hundreds of images of Melo's flash paintings, a body suit in progress, and new aesthetics for Japanese-style tattoo art.
