Torso is an amazing collection of work spanning 16 years, that documents the burgeoning tattoo phenomenon across the United States and Pacific Islands; these photographs are slick and darkly addictive…reflecting artistic expression that links to both personal and social identity, the telling of stories on the skin, of being and belonging. Included are stunning examples of work by respected tattoo artists such as Mike Rubendall, Jill Bonny, Khalil Rintye, John The Dutchman, Horiyoshi III, Carlos Torres, Matt Beckerich, Clark North, Aaron Coleman, Horitaka, Steve Looney, Ron Earhart, Nate Bunuelos, Edwin Shaffer, George Campisi and Denny Besnard.

About the Author
Markus Cuff – artist, photographer, musician, thinker, social documentarian, nature lover and Jungian.
Markus has spent over 16 years traveling the United States and far flung Pacific Islands documenting the burgeoning tattoo phenomenon. The work that is presented here is from some of the most accomplished and revered artists in the tattoo world – though there are also other lesser known (sure to become famous very soon) artists and work interpreted within this collection.
Cuff is perhaps the most highly respected and visible photographer in the tattoo world, regularly contributing to Tattoo Magazine, Tattoo Flash, and producer of many magazine specials. He was the single largest contributor to the Rolling Stone Book Tattoo Nation maybe because of his ease and access to Rock’s royalty: Markus was the original drummer for Emmylou Harris and the cult band The Textones.
