STEWED, SCREWED & TATTOOED
A BOOK BY MADAME CHINCHILLA
"Stewed, Screwed and Tattooed was a great find in our search for complete, accurate and authoritative information on the wonderful world of tattoos. Madame Chinchilla’s book is well-written, well organized and a pleasure to read. It’s a great way to discover the range and richness of this amazing form of body art–as well as the "colorful characters" who practice it." Gregory M. Vogel, Segment Producer, "Tattoo! Beauty, Art and Pain" ABC/Kane Productions7/22/98

"Like an
exotic veil, tattooing embraces the mystique of the underworld. In being tattooed we
connect ourselves to the ancient world, accompanied by these images breathing within our
skins. Like a bizarre reference library, we are Keepers of the Images. We carry an archive
of images and symbols ...representing life, death and all that throbs with a vibrant
force."
