Dutch Tattoo Studios fills that void, by portraying 30 renowned artists and their work. Colorful characters from the older generation, such as Greg Orie, and the ones who followed in their footsteps, for instance Rob Admiraal. They all share an unrelenting love for their craft, but each of them has different preferences, in tattooing as well as in life. \u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dutch Tattoo Studios \u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover \u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English \u003cstrong\u003ePaper-type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 gr.
