And now, you can discover the work of this unparalleled talent like never before with Kintaro’s beautiful edition. Bringing together the largest selection of his work to date, this remarkable retrospective contains hundreds of high-quality photos of Shane’s tattooing, as well as sections dedicated to his paintings and linedrawings. To accompany this visual odyssey, Shane unpacks his tattooing journey and inspirations in a series of candid, in-depth interviews – revealing the people and moments that made him the artist he is today.
