Blogger Lara Crockett describes this gorgeous coffee table book about the legendary tattoo family.

"It is difficult to convey the dynamism and history of the Leu family in words. It can't be done. At least not in a single book. The best way to capture la familia is through the camera lens, and this is what Fabio Paleari does in The Leu Family's Family Iron.

This effulgent book, with a forward by Henk "Hanky Panky" Schiffmacher, begins in Ibiza, 1994, when Paleari first meets Felix and Loretta. It then follows the beatnik troupe through Spain to Switzerland to tattoo conventions in the States. We meet the children: the world's greatest tattooist, Filip; his Botticelli-beautiful artist wife, Titine; Ama, the model; Aia, who lives on a farm in Ireland; and Ajja, the musician. All taught by Felix to give "100% of themselves to obtain the maximum, often at great personal sacrifice...."
