Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Volume I
Like peas and carrots, prisoners and tattoos just go together — and not just in the United States. Written by former prisoner and prison attendant Danzig Baldaev, the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia examines this fringe subculture first-hand via hand-drawn notes, written explanations, and photos by Sergei Vasiliev. From the artful to the vulgar to the downright strange, this exhaustive tome — the first of three — covers them all with a uniquely informed voice.
