Published when Tattooing was illegal in places like NYC and well before tattoo culture hit the mainstream, legendary NYC tattooist and counterculture figure Spider Webb gave us Pushing Ink, a landmark 1979 book that helped elevate tattooing from an underground subculture to a recognised fine art form.
With nearly 200 pages of tattoo folklore and candid portraits, this vintage cult classic captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of 1970s body art culture. Featuring photographic contributions from renowned photographer Charles Gatewood, Pushing Ink documents the bold artists, heavily tattooed canvases, and the legal and cultural battles fought to legitimise skin art in America.
