Inhaltsangabe

Zhang Xiaobai's luxurious paintings exist at a unique junction of fantasy art and tattoo culture. The figures
she constructs are beautifully adorned with painted tattoos of traditional Chinese iconography and are jux-
taposed against detailed, colorful background scenes. Beautiful tattooed female warriors prepare for battle,
red riding hood-like girls venture dangerously near a forest, a dark queen takes off a kabuki mask, and deli-
cately adorned women repose on beds of bright orange leaves. Xiaobai's paintings incorporate traditional
themes with a modern twist, and the book is split into cohesive sections: classic style paintings, dark arts
paintings, fantasy paintings, and paintings in a modern style. Xiaobai is a famous Chinese manga illustrator
and a key member of the Beijing Assassin Tattoo Organization; one of her mangas recently won the Gold
Medal at the 2011 International Manga Competition in Japan. Fantasy Tattoo Art also includes an appendix
of preliminary black and white sketches, which can be used as inspiration for illustrators or tattoo artists.
