Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Postcards

I own all three of the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedias. I own Drawings from the Gulag. I even purchased an additional copy of one the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedias directly from FUEL in order to get the cards that come with the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia when you order from FUEL. I am a Danzig Baldaev super fan.When Amazon recommended this collection, I almost bought two. I wish I could give this more stars. The postcards are printed on heavy weight matte almost antiqued stock. There are several postcards that include not only Baldaev's original drawings, but his notes! Ah! It was amazing! I was gushing. They include descriptions of the photos and drawings, as the books do. They're just gorgeous and well done by FUEL.As for uses...well, while you may just plan to look at them, I plan on framing and hanging some of these gorgeous pieces in a small bathroom in my house. These are works of art, and they should be treated as such.If you love tattoos, criminal culture or all things Russia (as I do!), you will love this. I highly recommend you add this to your collection, super fans!

The stories that accompany the images are great and some of the images make great reference material for making a solid traditional tattoo. Cool stuff to have in your tattoo collection. I suggest get the 3 Russian prison tattoo books. If you are a true tat wizard you will know what to do with these books!!!!!

These are so rad. I read a lotvof russian lit. Currently reading dostoe skys memoire about hisvexoerience in the siberian prison. These cards make it all a bit more real for me. The pictures are all very cool and really interestingg info on the back about the meaning of each tatoo. Very interestimg prison folks, interesting tattoos. Great photos. Very aestically pleasing. All my friends love looking at them in my room. It hurts me to send them out tho lol

Ignore the low reviews

More great stuff from Danzig B.

beautiful to have and display.

great quality, from the box to the thickness of the stock to the print, and of course the content. Totally worth it.

The packaging was damaged, so that was kind of a bummer. The cards itself is rad though, but I wish the packaging was intact.
