The first volume Chicano/Traditional denotes tattoo art that has stayed true to its roots - a time when homemade machines made of cassette motors and guitar strings dipped in India ink were used to mark skin. The essence of black & grey art is captured in the photography of co-author Edgar Hoill. Select imagery, with quotes from the artists and collectors, leads this volume, followed by interviews with Jack Rudy, the godfather of black & grey; as well as tattoo prodigy Jesus "Chuey" Quintanar. Their stories and tattoo work precede the gallery, which includes tattoos from other pioneers of the style: Freddy Negrete, Brian Everett, and Mark Mahoney.
