Enter, Tattooing's Guide to Symbolism, Cor Mysterium Volume I, by Never Sleep Publishing.
The first issue of a multi-volume encyclopedia series that shines a light into the gaping void that is veracious tattoo symbolism. The Cor Mysterium is full of insight about the meaning behind some of the most recognized, yet often misinterpreted tattoo designs in the world. Each volume will feature a diverse selection of stylings, from Traditional to Realism and everything in-between.
From the inception of Cor Mysterium, book curators Matt Beckerich and Mike Rubendall aspired to create a publication that would satiate the demand for visual inspiration and its interpretation... and that's exactly what they did.
Sneak Peek of "Last Port" by Paul Dobleman. A tale of peril on the high seas.
The book opens with a foreword by none other than Don Ed Hardy himself. With the turn of each page you’ll find these varying works cover a wide range of topics from implicit to the obscure. Aside from nearly 200 original paintings, the book also offers a legend deconstructing the key symbolism behind each contribution.

In recent years, the landscape of tattooing as an art form has progressed into somewhat of a modern-day renaissance.
