2ND EDITION

Tattooing In The Nuthouse is Scott Sterling's own account of four decades in tattooing. Sterling is one of the best-known tattoo machine builders in the world and has worked as a tattooer for more than 40 years, so the book covers both sides of the trade.

Across 230 pages, this second edition mixes photographs, anecdotes, and flash, following his path through the industry and the people and shops he met along the way. It's a first-hand tattoo history book rather than a researcher's overview, written by someone who was there. Machine talk sits next to shop stories, so you get a sense of both the craft and the culture around it.

Recommended for machine builders, tattooers curious about how the trade has changed, and collectors who like personal histories alongside the artwork. This listing is the softcover edition.
