Item description from seller

190pp. black baordsSpider Webb's Pushing Ink: The Fine Art of Tattooing is a 1979 book by the New York tattooist Spider Webb that, with hundreds of photos by Webb and Charles Gatewood, documented and promoted tattoo art as a legitimate and beautiful practice, showcasing adorned bodies as "bold canvases" and celebrating tattoo culture during a time when it was still largely underground. The book includes classic folklore and legends related to tattooing, and it helped to legitimize the art form in the West.
