Some of the most striking and influential Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo and Meiji periods are those with designs within designs; as artists produced portraits of actors; samurai; outlaws and other marginal characters whose skins were covered with tattoos of demons; dragons; snakes and similar creatures in all manner of diverse configurations. Many of these would form the basis for modern-day yakuza tattoo motifs; and are now increasingly referenced by tattoo artists worldwide. "Classic Ukiyo-e Tattoo" is a special art ebook which collects 55 of the most original and dazzling tattoo prints by three major artists - Kunisada; Kuniyoshi; and Kunichika; each of whom is represented by a full-colour cache of rarely-seen artworks.
