Don Nolan Stencils is a 92-page book packed with acetate tattoo stencils from the 1960s and 70s. The range is wide and very much of its time: pin-up girls, dragons, birds, ships, eagles, flowers, biker imagery, devils and plenty more, all shown as the cut stencils tattooers actually worked from.
Stencils strip a design down to the lines that matter, which is exactly why they make such good reference. You can see how Nolan simplified a subject so it would transfer cleanly and hold up on skin, and those choices translate directly into your own outlines.
The book was put together by Dana Brunson, a respected tattooer and publisher whose books preserve a lot of hard-to-find tattoo history. The spiral binding lets it lie flat on the desk while you draw. A strong pick for anyone looking for usable tattoo stencils with real period character.
