Russian Criminal Tattoo Police Files: Volume I Hardcover – March 22, 2016

A departure from the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia series, this book is filled with many actual tattoo photos and a section on identifying facial features commonly found amongst criminals. But you still have the signature common artwork found in the series.These seem to get a bit repetitive, but I enjoy this. Series and story behind the research, as well as the artwork. Check it out if your a fan, or interested in the stories behind the fringe and taboo practice in the gulag.

great supplement to the other Russian Criminal Encyclopedia books. If you've read the other ones there's not much new info,,,but as I am a collector of such info, this book was right up my alley. nice pics...detailed explanations in parts of the book, I would definitely recommend this book but only if you are a completest.Other than that, its a cool book

Been a huge fan of the original 3 books, so I had to buy this one as well. The book isn't shirt on photographs or descriptions but it has nearly no illustrations that made the original 3 so amazing. Overall 4 stars and would definitely buy the next addition.

Must have to complete the collection. Not many illustrations but full of great photographs with insight into the tattoos

Excellent book that details tattoo history in Russia during the 60-80s. a must for any tattoo/art enthusiast

excellent

Tolle Bilder und Texte

Un classique du genre ,une plongée réaliste ,riche et intense dans le pénombre criminellement russe et carcérale avec en toile de fond l'art photographique.

great book..thank you

E' un riassunto in inglese tutto, quindi comprensibile solo in parte però molto interessante vale la pena, se proprio però uno è appassionato oltre ogni limite c'è proprio l'enciclopedia a più volumi, secondo lo stesso schema molto didascalica. proprio da malati dell'educazione siberiana però.
