When Nature Calls

Chris at Area 51 Tattoo has been working on a new book called, When Nature Calls. The book already has admissions from Chad Chase, Alex DeBase, and Frank LaNatra. If you’re interested in submitting work, contact Chris directly.

Here’s what Chris had to say about the book:

I am writing this book because I love to tattoo flowers first and foremost. I have found so many books on skulls and portraits, but never tattoo books on flowers/nature. I figured it is time to appeal to the female demographic, and a gallery/study on this subject.

This book will be a hard-bound coffee table style art book. Each artist will have her own page with a couple tatttoos, picture of themselves and a brief bio. There will be sections of real original floral/nature photography and sections of linework/sketches, so this will also be a one-stop reference book for any tattoo artist.

Submssions will be accepted by originality and quality above all else. Nobody will be included in this book because of name or reputation alone.

More insects!

Why aren’t insect tattoos more popular?

Insects come in variety of types, shapes, sizes, and colors. Whether you’re looking for a simple cute ladybug or an infestation of flesh eating beetles – they have you covered.

I really feel like the tattoo community is missing out here. I’m ready to take the plunge to get this started. I’ve always wanted a cicada tattoo, and I think I just talked myself into one.
