Looking for authors of books about tattooes

Hi there, I'm booking an all-ages (i.e. family-friendly) discussion panel-type program exploring tattoo as an art form - where the body is the canvas. The vision is to pair an author who has written a book on tattoes with a tattoo artist. There will be an honorarium. A tattoo store manager directed me to this site. Can you guys please recommend a Toronto-based or nearby-based author? A few stores named a guy named Bill D'Michael (I'm sure I spelt the name wrong) - a Toronto-area photographer who shoots extensively on tattooes and has reportedly released two books. Anyone know how to get in touch with him? Any help is appreciated - my email is [email removed]. Thanks! - Ab.

Can't help you with either of those, but where will the details of that event be posted? There would be quite a few parents/teens I'd invite to a discussion like that in the T-Dot if it was ACTUALLY family-friendly. Maybe try searching the online archives of Eye or Now???
