Skin Deep Tattoo Magazine August 1999 No 51 (1416) Danish Tattoos Erik Reime Skin Symbols Tattoo Art

Skin Deep: The European Tattoo Magazine, No. 51, dated August 1999.

This issue focuses on late-1990s tattoo culture, European tattoo shows, body art, piercing and tattoo artwork. The front cover features bold tattoo artwork and cover lines including Sizzling Danish Tattoos, Interview with Erik Reime, Skin Symbols Elvis, New York Special, Tough Tattoos in a Brooklyn Boxing Gym, and 2nd NYC Tattoo Convention.

Visible artwork/content from the photos includes:

• Danish tattoo artwork and Erik Reime interview feature
• Skin Symbols: Elvis tattoo theme
• New York tattoo special
• Brooklyn boxing gym tattoo feature
• Art Attack ’99
• Tattoo show coverage from Great Yarmouth, Milan and Antwerp
• Colour tattoo examples, including large back pieces, portrait tattoos, animal/reptile artwork, tribal designs and fantasy-style tattoo pieces
• Piercing/body jewellery advertising and body-modification content
• Back cover advert for The Mystical Collection body jewellery

Supplement / Inserts:
The front cover advertises a “Free 16 Page Supplement – 2nd NYC Tattoo Convention.” I can see this stated on the cover, but I cannot confirm from the photos whether the supplement is still physically present as a separate insert. Best wording for eBay: “Free 16-page supplement advertised on cover – please check photos / included only if shown.”

Condition:
Pre-owned vintage magazine in used condition. Front cover has visible edge wear, corner wear, surface rubbing, light scratches/scuffs and some creasing from age and storage. Spine shows handling wear and stress marks, with some rubbing along the fold. Internal pages are readable with normal handling marks, page waviness and light creasing. Some pages show age-related wear and minor bends around the edges. Rear cover has surface wear and light creasing, with visible handling/storage marks. Overall a collectable tattoo magazine, but clearly used, so please check all photos carefully for exact condition.
