About this title

Synopsis

Over 270 images of peaceful angels, bearers of good news, are presented. Well-known tattoo artist Spider Webb throws wide the doors of the American Tattoo Museum to offer impressive and surprising examples of angel tattoo imagery. Angelic women, men, children, and cherubs provide readers with heavenly inspiration. The images are presented as black and white line drawings and are rendered in color, making them beautiful and instructive for fellow tattoo artists and admirers. One sees both the inspiration of classical artists, and the creative twist and flare for which this tattoo artist is well known. Also included is an interview with Dr. Anton Roseletti exploring views on angels. This book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of tattoo artists, wearers, and admirers alike.
