Grime (Brett Grimmelbein) is a well known, San Francisco-based tattoo artist. He's the owner and founder of BLACK CLAW, a foundation to make the world's best needles, cartridges and other tattoo equipment. He's pioneered his own, signature "Grime Style", where he heavily imitates and blends elemets of Japanese and traditional Western tattoos, creating a piece full of exotic and complex imagery. With this book, readers can take a look into his work from 1999-2000 through photos, journal entries, and tattoo images. This is an out-of-print book, allowing readers a raw look into Grime's artistic and personal journey, from the highs to the lows. This book has bumping on bottom corner of spine and some chipping along spine.
