Description
Heavy Time Books is a partnership between Smalltime Books and The Heavy Mental, and this volume sits squarely in that artist-book / subcultural documentation space. Part manual, part art object, it presents a step-by-step photographic and textual breakdown of constructing a jailhouse tattoo machine using improvised materials. It reads as lived knowledge rather than theory — documentation of ingenuity under constraint.
Limited to just 200 copies, this is not a mass-market tattoo guide but a contemporary underground publication with crossover appeal: artist-book collectors, tattoo historians, prison culture documentation, and DIY print enthusiasts alike.
A strong piece of modern underground publishing and, as of this writing, zero found online for sale.
