About Me


ACCEPT NO IMITATIONS! -
Created by a professional tattooist and a graphic artist, The Tattoo Colouring Book features 52 unique genuine tattoo designs, perfect-bound on 54 pages of heavy 24-lb bond paper.
While inspired by traditional North American and Japanese tattoos, each drawing is interpreted with a modern sensibility. The designs are boldly outlined, one per page, and ready for colouring or stencilling. Because The Tattoo Colouring Book was drawn by Kirk Sheppard , a professional tattooist, you can be sure that each design stays true to the rich tradition of tattoo art, both in subject and composition.
Each page of The Tattoo Colouring Book was carefully laid out and designed by Cara Sheppard , a professional graphic artist and designer, with respect and understanding of the art of tattooing. A true product of the global tattoo industry today, The Tattoo Colouring Book is a high quality sourcebook for tattooists, apprentices, collectors, kids, artists, and anyone interested in tattoo art and culture.
