{"product_id":"9780764349997","title":"Classic Tattoo Stencils : Designs in Acetate by Cliff White","description":"A staggering volume of thousands of examples of the celluloid acetate stencil, an essential tool in the history of tattooing.         Mythical creatures, angels and devils, anchors and other nautical symbols, and  more abound in stencil form, the classic tracing method that has only increased  exponentially in popularity since the rough days of crude materials and  callused hands. Before ThermofaxT and numbing cream, tattooists had  to hone their tracing skills perfectly-and clients had to hope for the best.     Over  time, artists would ask sailors and dock workers to let them trace remarkable tattoos  they got at other ports, effectively inventing design replication. Today tattoo  artists use tattoo stencils to transfer designs onto wood, quilts, and even  cabinets.     A worthy companion to Flash  from the Bowery: Classic American Tattoos, 1900-1950, this volume continues  to ignite the curiosity of American history and tattoo buffs.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294840598901,"sku":"9780764349997","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780764349997.jpg?v=1762766205","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780764349997","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
