Dumb Tattoo Paperback – November 17, 2025

"Dumb Tattoo" captures the best of my daily drawings. Celebrating the creative possibilities of tattoo designs. All of the pieces in this edition have been created from 2024-2025. This picks up where my first book, "Tattoo Flash, Drawings and Paintings by Jeff Wise" left off, with over 150 new hand drawn pieces. Use this book as a jumping off point for your next tattoo, artistic inspiration, or just a fun coffee table book. The images contained are heavily inspired by traditional American flash. This book can be enjoyed by people of all ages.I have always been into art making, a passion that was put on hold in my mid 20s due to substance abuse issues. In 2019 I made the choice to seek help for my substance abuse and my life changed forever. I rekindled my passion for art making and having fun sober. I decided that because I had made time for substances every day for years, I could make time to create art every single day. This has proven a huge part of my recovery journey.In 2021 I decided it was time to finish my college degree. Working on college courses at night after a full time day job, caring for my family, working a program of recovery, and keeping to my self imposed rule of making art every day proved challenging. I graduated from University of Missouri St. Louis with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2023 and continue to make art every single day.I hope you enjoy the images in this book as much as I have enjoyed making them.Jeff Wise Read more
