About this product

Product Information

The photographs, drawings and texts published in this book are part of a collection of more than 3000 tattoos accumulated over a lifetime by prison attendant Danzig Baldaev. Tattoos were his gateway into a secret world in which he acted as ethnographer, recording the rituals of a closed society. The icons and tribal languages he documented are artful, distasteful, sexually explicit and sometimes just strange, reflecting as they do the lives and traditions of Russian convicts. Skulls, swastikas, harems of naked women, a smiling Al Capone, medieval knights in armour, daggers sheathed in blood, benign images of Christ, sweet-faced mothers and their babies, armies of tanks, and a horned Lenin - these are the signs by which the people of this hidden world mark and identify themselves.

Fantastic
It is a great book, just what I was looking for. It is a good quality book with lots of pictures and information. Other books do not always provide enough pictures but this one has a lot. Some of the pictures are photos of people with the tattoo's and some are just the drawings. It is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in tattoo's.
