3 out of 5 stars Ok for beginers or newbies   July 28, 2008
Joseph Zimmerman (San Pablo, Ca. United States)
This book will be ok if you know nothing about the tattoo world and are interested in it. Just scratches the surface of everything about tattooing. Fast easy read but don't buy it for pictures. I agree with "not to sure" post.

This book is extremely informative, eye-opening & interesting for someone thinking about getting a tattoo. I was very happy with my purchase of this title and have such a more indepth & greater understanding of what is involved with tattooing.

Great buy!

this book is very very fundamental. the black and white photos are small and pretty useless and the color shots could be better.
better books are available



2 out of 5 stars not what i expected   June 17, 2004
18 out of 22 found this review helpful

im a big fan of body art. i read and research alot about it. i also have four tattoos of my own and plan on getting more. i even dated a tattoo artist for a short period of time. i hung out at the tattoo shop every day and was around 5-10 artists at a time every day. i know my stuff. but by no means am i out writing a book on tattoos.

with that said.

this book was not the "total tattoo book" i expected. it mostly told me stuff i already knew, had bad pictures, and talked way to much about her personal experiences. i was bored and even skipped sentences at times just to finish it. but i did finish it out of respect for the author and give her two stars.

1 star for her efforts
1 star because its about tattoos

This book was hard to put down, even though I had homework to do. It has a wide variety of categories explained in plain english for newbies w/ pics. The center has a nice layout of color and b/w photos. It also has a partial directory of tattoo artists in each state (where legal or not).
