A never before seen jewel of the Lyle Tuttle collection, R. Johnson’s flash fuses bold, traditional, iconic designs with folky inventiveness. Thanks to recent research and discoveries from Lyle’s correspondence and photo collections, the book celebrates Johnson’s original tattoo art but also solves the mystery behind who Johnson was; linking him to American circus culture and some very important figures in tattooing! The book includes great bonus tattoo history features, over 34 full sheets of Johnson’s flash plus many of his earliest designs also isolated and ready to trace for tattooing.
