Why This Book Matters

This issue captures a specific moment in UK tattoo publishing and the wider tattoo community. It documents recent work by respected artists and reports on a court case that has serious implications for body modification practice. For readers, it provides a factual record of conventions, studios, and art from May 2019.

The magazine also reflects a deliberate editorial change to a smaller format, with more pages given to interviews and imagery. That makes the issue a useful point of reference for anyone studying tattoo media and culture.
