THE BOOK
Eastern European tattoo artists have been getting more and more attention. Their unique perspective has brought an entirely new character to the art of tattooing. The roots of this movement terminate back to the 90s when the first studios and tattoo artists appeared in Hungary. Now we tell not only this story, but also show how the Hungarian style, which reached its golden age in the 2000s, influenced later tattooer generations. The book gives an exclusive insight into the world of 40 internationally acclaimed tattoo artists, whose works still carry elements of the Hungarian style’s distinctive traits and unique vision. They talk about their connection to tattooing, what are their inspirations, open up about different techniques they use, and let us see their biggest challenges, how they found their own voice, and what they believe is the key to success.

THE CAMPAIGN
We need your support to create this book. The book that differs from any albums that have been published on tattooing so far. The book where the full focus is on tattoo artists and not on their works. Our aim is to entertain you to the fullest with all the beautiful photos and engaging stories. Alongside introducing 40 internationally acclaimed Hungarian tattoo artists representing different styles and perspectives, a nearly 30 pages long introduction reveals the evolution of Hungarian tattooing, including never-before-heard stories previously known only by insiders. We travel back in time to the early days, go through the key milestones and significant events, and end with a discussion on the current state of tattooing from the perspective of multiple generations of artists.
