Description for Musical Ink
Num Pages: 142 pages, 129 b/w photos. BIC Classification: AJCP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 307 x 308 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1818.
Black and white portraits of 62 inked musicians and stories about their tattoos, including Dave Navarro, Chad Smith, Kat Von D, Sammy Hagar, and more.
This exciting volume of imagery from Toronto-based photographer Jon Blackernot only has something for every musical taste – featured artists range in genre from heavy metal to hip hop and opera – the tattoo styles include elaborate sleeves, creative one points, and traditional Japanese themes.
Each portrait is photographed in black and white using a special infrared camera, which allows the tattoos to truly stand out from the skin because while infrared light largely reflects off of skin, it is absorbed by the tattoo ink, creating a great deal of contrast between the almost glowing, ethereal appearance of the skin and the deep blacks and greys of the tattoos.
But Musical Ink goes more than skin deep and focuses on the personal meanings of the artists’ body art, be it a deep personal reflection or simply a great funny story. This outstanding collection of images, including artists like Dave Navarro, Chad Smith, and Sammy Hagar, is ideal for music lovers, tattoo aficionados and artists, and photographers.
