Tattoo Artist: A Collection of Narratives
by Jill "Horiyuki" Mandelbaum
Before social media, before podcasts, before every tattooer had a camera in their pocket, there were books like this.
Tattoo Artist by Jill "Horiyuki" Mandelbaum is a collection of candid conversations, artwork, and behind-the-scenes photographs featuring some of the most respected names in tattooing. Rather than focusing on techniques or step-by-step instruction, this book gives readers something rarer — an honest look into the lives, philosophies, struggles, and successes of thirteen influential tattoo artists.
Inside you'll find interviews with Adam Barton, Grez, Eric Jones, Henning Jorgensen, Gary Kosmala, Oliver Peck, Heath Preheim, Javi Rodriguez, Robert Ryan, Richard Stell, Chris Trevino, Jef Whitehead, and Pinky Yun. Each artist shares their unique perspective on tattooing, creativity, client relationships, and the path that brought them to where they are today.
Packed with artwork, photographs, and personal stories, Tattoo Artist feels less like a reference book and more like sitting down across the table from the people who helped shape modern tattooing.
