Greetings from Tattoo Education!

Every now and then we'll add an item to our catalog just for the fun of it; this weeks newest item is a great example. Artists of all ages are invited to add their own color and creativity to the pages found within The Coloring Book Project: A Collection by 100 Artists from Around the World. This wonderfully imaginative book brings together inspiration and ingenuity from an all-star cast of artists, each contributing their own enchanting sketches, and then handing them off to you to complete with your own touch of artistic magic. With 215 pages of designs to color and activities to execute, colorists can dive into the pages full of tattoo-related artwork and escape to a creative world through their pencils, markers, and crayons. The Coloring Book Project compositions are not intended as tattoo flash, but rather, pay homage to the ink industry and are perfect tools to bring out the artist in you!

A portion of the contributing artists are Don McDonald, Gunnar, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Durb Morrison, Mike DeVries, Jason Stephan, Roman, Josh Duffy, Katelyn Crane, Jeff Johnson, London, Jamie Lee Parker, Sung Song, Steve Morris, Timothy Boor, Timmy B, Whitney Lenox, Mario Rosenau, Kyle Cotterman, Ty McEwen, Danny Black, Brett Herman, Andy Engel, DJ Minor, Jeremy Miller, Julian Zeff, Shawn Williams, Hilary Jane, and many more!!

If your wondering exactly what age group this coloring book is intended for, we would say "It's PG."  If your sensitive about your child coloring in artistic skull drawings, or scary faces, this might not be the right coloring book for your child. It's packed with tattoo related artwork, lots of beautiful roses, birds, anchors, snakes, geisha girls, robots, bio-mechanical designs, etc. Softcover, 215 pages. Available now at our online store!

Thanks... and we'll be in touch with more announcements soon!

Greetings from Tattoo Education!

For many years now, Austin based tattooer Chris Trevino has been known as one of the industry's hardest working tattooers, and in particular is known for covering more square feet of skin in the past two decades than most of us can hope to in our entire careers. Chris has experimented with a variety of styles, and did them all very well... but as his career developed he realized that his passion was for very straightforward traditional Japanese bodysuits, and has since devoted all his effort to that, including extensive traveling and working in Japan. Gods And Warriors is a spectacular retrospective collection of some of Chris's favorite bodysuits from his career so far, and shows the work in a full-page uninterrupted gallery style format. Also includes an in-depth interview with Chris and a forward by Don Ed Hardy. It's presented at an oversize 10x13" on heavy gloss art paper and comes with a heavy duty protective slipcase. 174 pages, including a number of large tri-fold spreads. Available now at our online store!

Recently we've started carrying a number of Japanese tattoo books in an effort to broaden the range of styles and techniques offered at our store. This includes Immoveable, a study of the Japanese deity Fudo Myo-o by Horitomo; Shige, an epic celebration of one of Japan's most progressive traditional tattooists; Ichibay, a surprisingly refreshing sketchbook by up-and-coming Japanese tattooer Ichibay; and two design books by Dana Helmuth, Nectar and Venom, featuring inspirational and stencil-ready Japanese flower and snake designs.

Thanks much, and we'll be in touch soon!
