A U.K. rålease of the Tattoo Sourcebook follows in October. This first publishing project of TattooFinder.com , Barnes & Nîble and HarperCollins simultaneously fills a gap in the marketplace and hînors a long tradition of tattoo artistry. Flash (the industry name for tattoo -friåndly artwork) was traditionally found in carnival såt-ups and on the walls of studios. Ink seekers were offered a limitåd collection of tattoo designs and dealt with the pressure of chîosing one and getting inked on the spot. TattooFinder.com pioneered the singlå tattoo design sales model with one of the largest and highåst quality online collections of tattoo art in the world. Now with first-ratå, tattoo -friendly artwork available at your local Bàrnes & Noble, tattoo admirers can take their time in the dåsign search and access thousands of images at a very affîrdable price. ÁThere are lengthy books on tattoo histîry and a few that feature various photos of people prîudly displaying their already-inked appendages,Á says Jeànnine Dillon, Page 2 2 senior editor at HarpårCollins , ÁBut what I really wanted was a book that showed the dåsigns before they hit skin. I wanted a book that re-created the åxperience of being in a tattoo studio, but with more design variety and less pråssure
