Step into the studios of a hand picked group of artists who also have a foot in the world of tattoo. From Amsterdam to Brighton. From New York to San Francisco to Mexico. Tattoo Parlour is a showcase of artworks made by artisans who also make tattoos. These are tattoo artists in the broadest and best sense of the term. From skin to canvas to laser cut dollar bills these are artists who are at once immersed in tattoo culture but also their own creative practice. Forget cliches and parodies of tattoo imagery -- here we delve a little deeper and explore artists who are influenced by different dimensions of what it means to be tattooed, make a tattoo and understand the language of tattoo discourse. This is not a book of flash -- but of creative visions that touch on tattoo symbolism, technique, history, themes and community. Enter the Parlour and meet Alex Binnie, Angelique Houtkamp, Christopher Conn Askew, Dr Lakra, Mike Giant, Thomas Hooper, Scott Campbell and Shawn Barber. All photographed in their work spaces for an intimate glimpse at the details of their everyday life.

Aldo Spiker is just a guy who sells books—or so he pretends. Having inherited more from his fortune-telling mother than simply her shop, the Cajun bookseller is drawn into a mystery when Tommy Roget shows up at closing time one night. With the help of his ex-lover, Detective Mike Tribini, Aldo has to figure out what to do about Tommy. His attraction to the young man could lead Aldo someplace he hasn’t been in a long time.

Tommy Roget is a college student with more than homework to worry about. His parents died under mysterious circumstances; now after a near-miss on his motorcycle, it seems that someone is targeting him. Is it just his imagination or is he in real danger? With the police at a loss, Tommy is referred to Aldo by an old family friend. Drawn to the dark, aloof Cajun, Tommy hopes he can provide answers and maybe something more.

Mystery and romance are in the cards at The Spirit Parlour.
