Summary
Details

Explore the artistry and authenticity of American Traditional tattoos through over 500 hand-drawn designs, crafted with care and reverence. This book serves as a modern-day tattoo line book-a collection rooted in tradition yet accessible to tattoo artists and enthusiasts alike, preserving the inspiration and craft of tattoo flash. Historically, tattoo line books were shared among tattooers to pass down knowledge and inspire creativity. By publishing this collection, Mitch Braver opens the door to a broader audience, providing a rare glimpse into the heart of tattoo culture. These designs are meant to inspire, not to be reproduced identically, staying true to the original purpose of line books.

From the Masonic halls of Kenosha to the raw venues of the Midwest, Mitch's work tells stories woven with esoteric symbols, hidden meanings, and a profound respect for the craft. Inspired by iconic tattooers like Ed Hardy, Gus Wagner, and Dan Higgs, Mitch builds on the lineage of American tattoo art with his own surreal interpretations of classic imagery.

""This book is a labor of love-a bridge between the tattoo culture I grew up admiring and the one I contribute to today."" In a world where digital shortcuts are common, Mitch's designs are entirely hand-drawn, not AI-generated. They're authentic markers of his experiences, passions, and the people who carry his art.

This collection is more than just a book of designs-it's a tribute to tattoo history, the spirit of Midwest culture, and the enduring power of true artistry. Ideal for tattoo artists, collectors, and anyone captivated by the timelessness of American Traditional tattoos, this book honors the creativity, passion, and legacy of tattooing.
