Grime and Horitaka have a new book out called Underway Is The Only Way (www.gkeditions.com). It is the so called sequal for Horitaka's previous book Tattooing From Japan To The West: Horitaka Interviews Contemporary Artists
The old book (pictured above) had interviews with artists, and pics of their work, as Ed Hardy, Chris Garver, Theo Jak, Horiyoshi III etc. Here is the new book and it's line up
I really liked the first one. It is not a history book so much, but a book where artists just talk about their life and about their past. Pics are first rate and this is a must have alone for the fact that you get to see Chris Conn's tattoos. They are the cleanest tattoos I have ever seen. I expect the second one be as good in it's content.
