Can't go wrong with Skin & Ink, lots of interviews
with artists rather than just collectors, good history articles and a few on world tattooing.. -------------------- We are all laying in the gutter but some of us are looking for spare change...

Ever since Tattoo Society came into my country I stopped buying TATTOO/FLASH/SAVAGE and all the other magazines. They have a very high standard of quality to what they show and usually showcase alot of Boris Laszo, Aitchison, JC and many more. I love that mag.
plus th interviews are pretty amazing. -------------------- |

It depends on what you like or looking for. Interviews or pictures. Personaly I look for a lil of both. I most of the time go with U.K Mag's but if I see an interview of an artist that may interest me then I go with that. To me Juxtapoz is most definite worth checking out!!

i used to subscribe to juxtapoz and i think its worth looking at up n coming art so i may resubscribe to that,
i live in the US so i may go for skin& ink, i saw that hawaiian style girl on that last cover on that last issue which is a break from the ordinary rockabilly chick on nearly every mag. i never saw total tattoo at stores here, maybe at some hardcore newsstands they might be there. . . i have an issue by tattoo life from the uk which is pretty cool it covered a lot of conventions and some artist interview -------------------- "Success has always been the greatest form of revenge." - Murs |

There's a magazing called " High Fructose." It has interviews with artists (not tattoo artists) and showcases their work and also art gallery events and whatnot. A lot of interesting ideas in there. The last issue i bought had some nice biomechanical reference material. There was a lady that took house hold items and garbage and transformed it into biomech looking sculptures. Pretty bad ass. It's worth checking out.

I read Tattoo Life.
I have the european (UK) subscription. www.tattoosupplies.uk.com In my opinion it's one of the most serious publication around. |
