We just got our shipment of TATTED books in from our homies at Grit City Inc. and it is amazing.  We are selling them for $30 in store.  It is definitely worth it the pictures and writing in this book are phenomenal.  Here’s what Grit City has to say about the book:

Philadelphia-based photographer Marianne Bernstein has used her lens to document Philly’s renowned tattoo culture. Using street-level perspective, stunning photographs and simple, hand-written notes, Tatted reveals the emotional depth of this permanent art form, illustrating the beauty and originality in the story behind every tattoo.

What I love about this book is that its not all about dope ink but about the reason behind the ink.  Whether it be a general explanation of why to get tattoos at all or a very specific description of the tattoo in question; the result is an extremely candid and truthful look into the tattoo world and the people who adorn themselves.  Come pick one up at The Fresh Melt Water Shop today!

Tomorrow night (Thursday, December 10) my good freinds at GRIT CITY INC. will be debuting their newest book “Tatted” at the Pure Gold Gallery (in the piazza by the FMW shop).  Here’s what Grit City’s website has to say about it:

Philadelphia-based photographer Marianne Bernstein has used her lens to document Philly’s renowned tattoo culture. Using street-level perspective, stunning photographs and simple, hand-written notes, Tatted reveals the emotional depth of this permanent art form, illustrating the beauty and originality in the story behind every tattoo.

We are extremely excited to see this vision finally become a reality for Brian, Danny, and Nate over at Grit City.  We’ve been freinds with these guys for a long time and there’s nothing better than seeing real family do their thing so beautifully and successfully.  Come by tomorrow night (THURSDAY) and see for yourself and get a copy of this AMAZING book.  (pssst this would make a GREAT gift idea…)
