New Tribalism (Tattootime)

The impact of this series was astounding; when Tattoo magazines were published as part of a Biker magazine family, Ed Hardy came along and brought his 'high art' sensibilities to publishing. This is the first magazine: The New Tribalism. The others were Tattoo Magic, Life and Death, Music and Sea and finally Art from the Heart. They all presented a snapshot at various disciplines of tattoo art. DeVita, Deustche, Higgs, MShaw... everyone alone, who was doing something interesting in tattooing got the Tattoo Time treatment and a whole generation of artists were inspired.
