“Hutter illustrates the expansive and intersecting histories of tattoo styles in a way that recognizes social, cultural, and historical differences while foregrounding how tattoo artists 'are part of a long tradition of misfits, craftspeople, storytellers, artists, and visionaries' . . . [This book will] encourage new ways of thinking about the stories people tell with their skin.”Emily Bowles, Library Journal
