Anyone who rides a motorcycle lives, to some degree, in the margins of society. Where members of the herd drive Toyota Camrys and hipster hatchbacks, bikers opt for Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, and Ducatis, putting themselves out there with raised middle fingers thrust at the ordinary citizens of the world. Just as a motorcyclist’s ride is an affront to the sensibilities of the meek and the conventional, so too is the ink on their skin. Tattoos have long been an integral part of this culture, the result of the overwhelming number of ex-military men who formed the nucleus of the postwar outlaw motorcycle club scene. These soldiers, sailors, and marines returned from war with statements etched in ink upon their bodies, and they continued that tradition when they formed the clubs that came to define motorcycle culture. In 1000 Biker Tattoos, motorcycle photographer Sara Liberte celebrates the most personal of art forms by capturing the wild abandon of the motorcycle lifestyle as expressed through tattoo work. Featuring 1,000 photos of tattoos and the artwork used to create them, along with profiles of the most renowned tattoo artists in the biker community, this book provides an unprecedented window into the most intimate aspect of motorcycle culture.

This is a very engaging, witty and irreverent (yes, all at the same time) treatment of tattoos as they relate to motorcycling. While no one book will be all inclusive, Sara has blended personal stories, motorcycle passion and tattoo art into a not to be missed read. I liked mine so much that I’m purchasing another copy to give as a gift this year.

I thoroghly enjoyed this book. Great biker stories and characters and excellent biker skin art to check out. Led me to also buy George The Painter’s Bathroom Reader book. GTP was featured in this book quite a bit.

An amazing compilation of work. I can’t imagine the number of hours that went into this incredibly complete effort on “real” biker tattoos. I have enjoyed every page and image.
Thanks Sara
