Ancient & Modern Markings of Time is a 176-page hardback of line drawings and photographs devoted to tribal tattooing. Francesco Capro approaches the style with real study and respect for its roots, and the book reads as a serious reference rather than a quick design source.
Francesco has worked alongside leading names in the style, including Alex Binnie and Thomas Hooper. His own work honours the cultural origins of these markings while carrying a clear personal stamp, and the pages show both: traditional patterns and his contemporary take on them, including large-scale layouts for legs and feet.
For tattooers working in pattern-work, tribal, and large-scale blackwork, it is a rich, information-dense resource. Collectors interested in tattoo history and the living lineage of tribal marks will find plenty here too, from the source patterns to how they are carried forward today.
