Show Time: A Tattoo Artist's Story

By Pym Avery

Show Time is a true story which found its roots in the answer to the question, 'how did you get into tattooing', which the author fielded from almost every person that she met. Show Time travels the backroads and carnivals of Europe in the 1980s and '90s as a young woman chronicles her relentless determination to find scraps of information, loopholes and chinks in the armor of the male dominated secret world of tattooing, where females were not welcome. Eventually, she takes her place on the wild and colorful rollercoaster that was the evolution of tattooing as an art form during that time and becomes one of Europe's trailblazing, award-winning female tattoo artists. Written for a wider audience than those familiar with the tattoo industry, Show Time follows the rise in the popularity of tattoo art in the late 20th Century and its transition from the fringes of popular culture into the mainstream pre internet and social media.
