ABOUT THE BOOK

For nearly forty years, fans of the Star Wars films have gone to great lengths to express their passion for the saga. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than with the large group of people who have chosen to mark themselves for life with the captivating imagery found throughout that galaxy far, far away.

The Force in the Flesh Vol. II follows the same format as Vol. I and is a 9×11” embossed hardcover, full-color, coffee table book spanning 312 pages and is packed with over 1000 photos tastefully telling the individual stories of 57 different Star Wars tattoo collectors and artists from the world over, including members of Mastodon and Generation Kill. With a foreword by Stephen J. Sansweet and profiled artists from the tattoo industry including Adam Hays, Guy Aitchison, Hannah Aitchison, Durb Morrison, Matt Difa, Cecil Porter, David Corden, the cast of Epic Ink and many, many more this book is a must have for all those who appreciate Star Wars and/or great tattoo art.
