Reissue of a book published in 1950 by Éditions de la Roulotte. Fascinating essay on tattoos in the middle of banditry, pimping, convicts, prisoners, French legionaries. The book is divided into two parts. The first is above all a study of symbols (also a historical study). The second is a series of photographs of tattooed people from the police archives. A reference book.
