Done with Electricity is a striking visual compendium that chronicles the rich and rebellious world of tattoo artistry, presenting the work of some of the most accomplished tattoo artists working in the contemporary scene. The book functions as both a portfolio and a cultural document, capturing the full-body compositions, flash designs, and deeply personal iconography that define the modern tattoo renaissance — from bold traditional roses and globe motifs to intricate illustrative work. Each page instructs the eye to look beyond skin-deep aesthetics, arguing that tattooing is a legitimate and sophisticated fine art form with deep roots in global folk traditions. Lavishly produced and visually arresting, the publication illustrates the intersection of counterculture, craft, and identity that has propelled tattoo art into galleries and mainstream consciousness alike. The author's curatorial vision is precise and passionate, drawing together a diverse cast of artists whose work speaks to themes of travel, memory, and the body as a permanent canvas. For collectors, practitioners, and the simply curious, this volume poses an irresistible question: where does adornment end and fine art begin?
