important, Mr. Baldaev… Even this
issue, in fact, is a written testimony
of the cult of the best tattoos on the
world scene, providing essential
continuity to the world of tattoo art
that is constantly evolving. Let’s face it:
we feel a bit like “ethnographers” too
and via the various galleries of this new
edition of Tattoo Collection (animals,
butterflies, Maori, pin ups, roses,
monkeys, snakes, sport, time, tigers,
tribal, vessels, cartoon, horror, music,
portraits, Samurai, lettering, mermaids,
sharks, skulls, traditional, birds and
zombies) we endeavour to bring you
the best of culture, artistic talent (from
the tattoo artist) and emotion (the
tattooed person). In short, everything
that is behind a great painting on skin.
Happy browsing!
This time the news comes directly from
the capital of England. We discover that
Fuel, a graphic design studio based in
London has recently launched its own
archive dedicated to Russian criminal
tattoos. These tattoos, for the record,
are divided into 739 original drawings
by the expert hand of Danzig Baldaev
and are accompanied by the
photographs (of the various criminals)
of Sergei Vasiliev. Fuel’s collection
includes over 3000 tattoos that Baldaev
himself made during his time as a
prison guard between 1948 and 1986.
With only the help of his trusted pencil,
the guard acted as an ethnographer
and managed to penetrate a different
world – that of the symbology
surrounding prison tattoos – where
drawing after drawing reflects the
rituals, traditions and crazes of a genuine
society that was totally hidden from the
outside world. With his 739 drawings
(apparently worked on by night in a
small appartment in St. Petersburg),
Baldaev managed to achieve fully his
aim which was to document this
fascinating and extremely important
period in time. The same could be said
for Vasiliev’s photos, who by portraying
the same prisoners added further
authenticity to Danzig’s work. These
images on film could be handed down
for posterity, to reflect and preserve the
habits of the Russian underworld. It is
reading curious and significant news like
this, that we at Tattoo Collection feel we
can continue (with the necessary
changes of course!) the lesson of the
misunderstood, but extremely
In the footsteps of Mr. Danzig Baldaev…
