Tattoos proliferated far from the 'developed' world. When Western ships sailed across the Pacific Ocean under Capt. James Cook, they got to Tahiti and found men and women with intricately illustrated bodies, which they called 'ta-tu'. The first people to come back to Europe were Cook's sailors, but the rest of the world was tattooing long before that. This book explores the history, influence and art form of tattooing, both historical and contemporary.
